Fiori Toolkit: Template Error

Question

Hi,
I installed Fiori Toolkit on Eclipse Juno.
I wanted to create a 'Starter Application' and selected 'Basic Fiori Application' as the template. I gave 'http://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/' as the service URL, and it populated the Entities upon clicking 'Go'. Now when I hot next, I get an error as below.
" The template is not constructed properly. The template model resource is not accessible. Contact the Template Developer."
Any Idea how to get pass this?
Thanks
Krishna

Answer 1

I have faced the same issue and here are  details on "How" i resolved this.
Pre-Check   : Check whether your Eclipse is running on Java version 1.8.
You can verify the same by looking at the detail using either of below options
  Option A : Eclipse -> About Eclipse -> Installation Detail ( Button ) -> Configuration
  Option B : Go to Error Log and look for "Unexpected Exception" error triggered by the plugin
   "com.sap.odata.dt.cons.toolkit.bloom.templates.common"
                  Double click the error log. You will find the JRE that is being used by the plugin
Resolution 1 : Change your eclipse configuration to use JDK 1.7 / JRE 1.7
Below are the different options to do the same
  Option A : Modifiy your eclipse.ini file in ECLIPSE_INSALLATION_PATH by adding below two line
  -vm
  {JDK1.7_INSALLATION_PATH}\jre\bin\javaw.exe
  Option B : Change the shortcut / start the eclipse using
"{ECLIPSE_INSALLATION_PATH}\eclipse.exe -vm {JDK1.7_INSALLATION_PATH}\jre\bin\javaw.exe"
Resolution 2 : Modify the JAXP properies of your JDK 1.8 installation
This resolution becomes relevant when you only have JDK 1.8 in your machine & your other softwares have dependency on JDK 1.8.
Hence you can't downgrade you JDK from 1.8 to 1.7
  Step 1 : Go to {JDK1.8_INSALLATION_PATH}/jre/lib
  Step 2 : Add the below line in the file "jaxp.properties" ( you need to create this file if it doesn't exist )
javax.xml.accessExternalSchema = all
  Step 3 : Re-Launch your Eclipse
Recommendation
Among these different Resolution options, the safest one is to point your eclipse alone to JDK 1.7 / JRE 1.7 so that the other software will continue to work  AS IS.
