I have downloaded the cloverETL trial version and installed the available plugins via Eclipse. But I can not find the CloverETL option in the Eclipse New project option.
When I click on the CloverETLDesigner runnable script from the downloaded folder, it asks for a workspace location and after that, it just opens Eclipse with no CloverETL option in the Eclipse New project option.
Is there any thing wrong with my installation?
When I click on the Javlin icon in the About Eclipse, I can see
Please help.

No CloverETL listed there.
When I checked the Plugin Registry I can find the cloveretl packages are listed. Attached the screenshot.
Also, When I tried to diagnose " com.cloveretl.gui (4.0.0.044)" manually, it showsThe following problems were found:
Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.7
Java Details
java version "1.6.0_33"

Hi rajeevattingal,
CloverETL since version 3.5 requires JVM 7, Oracle JDK is supported, but OpenJDK should work too.
So please update your Java and then it should work. -
Hi rajeevattingal,
if you are looking for a quick way to start working with Designer, consider downloading our Linux bundle instead. We have both 32 and 64-bit build available.
If you are specifically interested in using the Designer as plugin, please read on.
We tested and distribute the Designer 4.0 bundle with Eclipse 4.3.2. Since we transitioned from Eclipse 3.7.2 we also did some testing against 3.7.2 and things should still work. I just did a quick check on my machine with Eclipse Classic 3.7.2 (Indigo SR2), offline update site on Windows 64-bit and all seems working fine. Despite missing license, Designer editors are showing up and I could activate a graph editor.
So it looks like either the plugin install did not go well or we are running into issues with your Linux distro. Could you please switch to Java 1.7 (required by 4.0) and then do a clean install with Eclipse 3.7.2? If you still run into issues could you please check the Error Log (Windows > Show view > General > Error log) and the registry and let us know here so that we can get you running?
Thanks,

For the last two days, I am getting a notification in Eclipse while starting, !ENTRY com.cloveretl.gui.runtime 4 0 2014-12-03 13:06:16.199
!MESSAGE Error during CLoverETL runtime start.
!STACK 1
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Could not delete lock file: /home/rajeev/cloveretl/.metadata/.plugins/com.cloveretl.gui.runtime/runtime.lock
at com.cloveretl.gui.runtime.manager.EmbeddedEtlRuntimeManager.A(Unknown Source)
at com.cloveretl.gui.runtime.manager.
After that, the eclipse got hung for sometime. So I have to restart the machine. After that, it will work. But today, restart not working. (3--4). I can not open eclipse now.
Please help. -
Updated to latest version and the error gone. But It hangs while initializing and configuring graphs. I have to restart the system continuously. I think the problem is because of less memory (4GB RAM).
I was trying to parse an XML using XMLextract and put the ouput into MySQL db. While running it will hung and I have to restart it. -
4 GB of memory should be more enough to run Designer itself. It is not clear from your description whether the Designer hung right after start (i.e. during Runtime initialization) or after you run a graph. These are independent JVMs and have different memory requirements and memory settings.
Memory settings for CloverETL Designer (for the Eclipse JVM) can be modified in CloverETLDesigner.ini file located in installation directory of Designer. Memory settings of Runtime (which takes care of running graphs) can be modified in Designer -> Window -> Preferences -> CloverETL -> ETL Runtime.
It should be enough for Designer to have the default 512 MB of heap space. Regarding the Runtime, memory settings depend on the volume of data you are processing and the way you are processing it. But with your 4 GB, I would go definitely higher than the default 640 MB of heap space. I would assign at least 2 GB there.
I hope this helps.
