Eclipse IDF install appears ok but Create IDF Project does nothing

[wpkeenan]

Hi All,
Thanks in advance for any help.
I have installed eclipse and espressif idf on windows 10 Home. All appears ok, a list of installed tools looks good, but when i select to create a new idf project it is like I didn't even click the button.
I ran consolelog and got the following:

Hi All,
I found another post that indicated that there is an issue with 5.1.2 relating to No Dialog for IDF Project : No dialog to create an Espressif IDF project after installing esp-idf-v5.1.2 at Eclipse 2023-12 (IEP-1129) #867
I did Help->Check for Updates and did an update and it solved this problem, it seems this must have been solved within the last few days. I don't know who solved it, but to that person, thanks very much. Also the New IDF Project Dialog Box has an issue, there is a drop down list to select the ESP32 device, but the list is empty.
Thanks
Regards
Bill
