Eclipse ABAP Development: Cannot Retrieve Connection configuration

Question

I have installed ABAP Development Tools on Eclipse 4.2 and Kubuntu 12.04 64 bit and everything went fine.

When I try to create a new ABAP Project and search for configured SAP Connections on the SAP GUI (I have SAP GUI for Java 7.30 rev 3) Eclipse shows the following error:

"Configuration not found in settings file '/home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/settings', with include 'null', and message server 'null'"

I verified that file '/home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/settings' is present and not empty; here is the content:

############################################################

@GLF_ColumnState = "0 / 75"
@logonFrame_2_X = "970"
@logonFrame_2_Y = "241"
@frameWidth = "778"
@frameHeight = "900"
@logonFrame_2_Width = "348"
@logonFrame_2_Height = "451"
@lookAndFeelDefault = "Tradeshow"

@fixedFont = "Ubuntu Mono"
@labelFont = "Roboto"
@genFont = "Roboto Cn"
@forceLongWindowTitle = "true"
@showListboxKeyAlways = "true"
@listboxSortByKey = "true"
@overwrite = "false"

Does anyone have any suggestion about this problem?

I tried on a Windows Virtual Machine and everything went fine.

Answer 1

I realize this is a really old question but just in case you still have this issue (I have it on my mac all the time) add the following two entries to the bottom of that settings file:

@INCLUDE = "file:///home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/connections"
@MESSAGESERVER = "file:///home/dfabbri/.SAPGUI/message_servers"

Then create the two files above in that path (connections should already be there), message_servers can be empty. Hope this helps.
