Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
You install the following software on a computer:
-
Eclipse 3.5, Eclipse 3.6 or a product that is based on one of these versions.
-
Microsoft Visual Studio Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) for Eclipse
-
Windows Internet Explorer 9
-
-
You use Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 to connect to a Microsoft Team Foundation Server (TFS) server.
-
You try to save or view a work item that contains some HTML controls.
In this scenario, the save or view operation fails. Additionally, you receive the following error message:
Save Failed
Java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException
Cause
This issue occurs because of a change in JavaScript engine that is introduced in Internet Explorer 9. The change conflicts the invoking code in the affected Eclipse versions. This conflict causes a failaure in a feature for the work item that contains a rich text filed control in Team Explorer Everywhere 2010 SP1.Therefore, the error message pops up.
