unable to open .javajet file - componentdesigner unable to load class.

[Anonymous]

I think this may be an installation issue.  I downloaded and am running TOS for DI (6.0.0.20150702_1326).  I'm trying to build a component.  When I try to open a .javajet file, I get the message:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in org.talend.componentdesigner was unable to load class org.eclipse.jet.internal.editor.JETTextEditor.

Googling around indicates that I might be missing the Merlin Generator(?).  When I click on Help>Install External Software, I get the Software Updates dialog box that says, "Cannot complete the request.  This installation has not been properly configured for Software Updates.  See the error log for details."

Any thoughts/help would be deeply appreciated.
thanks, -Dwight Lillie

Hi,
Which component do you want to build? How did you open with the .javajet file?
Have you tried to run a job with this component in studio successfully?
Best regards

I simply tried to create a custom component, by right-clicking on COMPONENT_PROJECT>New>New Component.  I then named the new component, 'tMyComponent,' and accepted the rest of the defaults.  When I double clicked on the 'tMyComponent_begin.javajet' I then received the message that, 'Plug-in org.talend.componentdesigner was unable to load class org.eclipse.jet.internal.editor.JETTextEditor.'
I have confirmed that I can create and execute jobs using other components.

Below is the .log file from the workspace/.metadata.

Hi Dwight Lillie,
Did you follow up these steps mentioned in KB article about:: TalendHelpCenter:How to create a custom component to create your custom component?
Best regards

Hi Sabrina,
  Yes.  The problem I'm experiencing is when I double click on a file with the extension '.javajet'.  The eclipse editor appears to fail to load w/ the stack trace that I posted.  I've uninstalled and re-installed talend more than once.  On another machine in which talend has been installed I don't see this problem.  That's why I think it's an installation issue.  I'm trying to figure out what's wrong w/ my particular installation.

Hi Dwight, Did you ever get this resolved? I am in the same situation with my current install on a Windows machine.
