"NoSuchMethodError" "org.eclipse.wst.server.core.internal.Trace.trace"?

Question

Hello,
I'm encountering the following when publishing to WebLogic Server via Eclipse with the Enterprise Pack installed. Thanks for any help!
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-05-23 09:11:52.563
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Publishing to Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 PatchSet 4 at localhost [voodoo]...".

This excerpt is from the Eclipse log.
It's interesting to note that I have no applications deployed to this domain - The result is the same if I attempt to add a simple test application.
I've used this on my Windows XP workstation for some time. This is my first attempt on my Mac!
Mac OS X 10.6.7
Java 1.6.0_24
Eclipse Helios SR2
"Fresh" installations of Eclipse and WebLogic
The latest Eclipse & Oracle Enterprise pack updates
WebLogic starts normally via the shell

Hi,
I was able to reproduce the issue you are seeing. This issue is caused by the fact that there is a new version of org.eclipse.wst.server.core_1.1.207.v20110401_1511.jar which is newer than the version which was shipped with Eclipse JEE SR2 bundle.
The Helios JEE SR2 installers at http://eclipse.org/downloads/packages/eclipse-ide-java-ee-developers/heliossr2 contain the following version org.eclipse.wst.server.core_1.1.206.v20110110_p001.jar.
In your case when you tried with Helios GA and the OEPE update site , I presume you had the "Contact all update site during install to find required software" checked which updated your eclipse installation with the latest 207 version.
There are a couple of options to workaround this issue:
1) download and install all-in-one OEPE kits from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/eclipse/downloads/oepe-111172-360027.html
2) install eclipse JEE SR2 and install OEPE from the following update site http://download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/helios but make sure that the "Contact all update site during install to find required software" option is unchecked.
hope this helps. Please confirm if this resolves the issue.
thanks
Raj
