      Hi..

      Login to salesforce and see if you are getting any error message at bottom of your user.

      It will clear exact error you are getting.

    Hi,

    I have installed Eclipse Juno and trying to add the Salesforce.com IDE to it. When I try to add using the URL: “http://www.adnsandbox.com/tools/ide/install/“ the software throws an error as below:

    Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021) Missing requirement: Force.com IDE 25.0.0.201206181021 (com.salesforce.ide.feature.feature.group 25.0.0.201206181021) requires ‘org.eclipse.update.ui 0.0.0′ but it could not be found

    Any on this will be appreciated.

    Thanks,

          I have copied the missing jar file from previous version of eclipse to Eclipse juno and then i was able to install the plugin. However i am stuck with new problem. Eclipse loads fine when i have no project or one small project in workspace but as i download all my projects in workspace, it does not load and stucks with loading com.salesforce.ide.core . any suggestions for it?

    Unable to fetch organisation “my id”
    Please help me .

    • JitendraZaa

      Hi Puneet,
      Are you selecting correct type of organization? like sandbox or production?
      This error comes when there is internet connection problem or username does not exist.
