Error Connecting to Eclipse through Embedded IDE Link Plugin

I am trying to compile simulink code using the Eclipse IDE target. I followed the tutorial on how to setup and configure the Eclipse IDE and compilers, and am stuck when they tell me to run the pilsumdiff example. I configure everything as stated in the tutorial, but when i right click on the sub system and tell it to build, I get the following error:

Subsystem Build Failed

The call to idelink_ert_make_rtw_hook, during the entry hook generated the following error: Could not connect to Embedded IDE Link plugin in Eclipse. Please check the port number and installation of the plugin. The build process will terminate as a result.

This is what i see in the Matlab display window

### Connecting to Eclipse through Embedded IDE Link Plugin (localhost @ 5555) Warning: Info about your third-party software: 1.

Starting Eclipse™ IDE...

If i go into eclipse, i see that the pluin is indeed running.

Here's the info: Status: STARTED Port number: 5555 configuration <a>file:file:/C;/eclipse/plugins</a>\mwidelink.ini

Any ideas on how to fix this are greatly appreciated.

Matthew: I would recommend contacting MathWorks Tech Support about this issue if you don't receive a reply here.

Based on the error messages, I see two potential causes:

• The port number is busy/being used by another application.
• Unsupported/untested third party software.

To fix either issue, search your product documentation for "Working with Eclipse IDE" and read the following topics:

• Tested Software Versions
• Installing Third-Party Software for Eclipse
• Configuring Your MathWorks Software to Work with Eclipse
• Troubleshooting with Eclipse IDE
