Eclipse woes

Hello all,
This issue seriously put me out. After recent eclipse upgrade from 4.2.0 to 4.2.1, all of my plugins are gone, even those installed from AUR (m2e, subclipse etc.) cannot be loaded. Any thoughts?

Re: Eclipse woes

Sorry, cannot replicate.  Did you somehow lose your ~/.eclipse directory?

Re: Eclipse woes

I have the exact same problem. All plugins gone. My ~/.eclipse directory is still there.

Re: Eclipse woes

Okay, what happens if you pick one from the AUR and reinstall it.  If you run Eclipse, does it see that one plug in, or are there still none?

Re: Eclipse woes

Still the same.
I see all plugins except cdt (from community) listed as "installed software" in eclipse, though none of them works.

Re: Eclipse woes

My ~/.eclipse is in place, just as Gachapen's

cd ~/.eclipse/
   /home/rzeznik/.eclipse
rzeznik $: ll
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 1 rzeznik users 28 May 18 18:13 org.eclipse.equinox.security
drwxr-xr-x 1 rzeznik users 56 Jul  6 11:51 org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_1287824591

drwxr-xr-x 1 rzeznik users 86 Sep 29 18:42 org.eclipse.platform_4.2.0_1543616141

I am able to see presumably all of the plugins I have installed under Help -> About Eclipse SDK -> Installation details, say, I have an entry there for m2e plugin. But when I try to open a maven's pom file I get:

No editor descriptor for id org.eclipse.m2e.editor.MavenPomEditor

Same goes for subclipse. I have it listed on plugins page but Eclipse perspective it installs is gone and it logs:

Re: Eclipse woes

Same exact problem here with the recent upgrade 4.2.0 -> 4.2.1

All my plugins are gone.  I've tried deleting the .eclipse folder, tried erasing /usr/share/eclipse, tried uninstalling & re-installing everything to no avail.  All plugins from AUR are not visible in Eclipse 4.2.1, can anyone help??

Re: Eclipse woes

Just for information: I have the same problem here, my ADT-plugin has gone, even removing .eclipse and reinstalling eclipse including plugins didn't work.

Re: Eclipse woes

I also have a same error. I think it's a bug and we have to wait for a fix in next upgrade

Re: Eclipse woes

I had this issue as well.  So I shutdown my computer, and stepped away to think of a way to solve it.  Then I remembered I can revert packages, but I forgot that I had recently cleared my package cache.  I then decided to fire up eclipse and my plugins where back, so you may just want to try again.

Re: Eclipse woes

so you may just want to try again.

No luck this time, but what's funny, every time I try to load a plugin I get different errors. This time it was:

Re: Eclipse woes

I've just installed two upgrades to my plugins from AUR (ajdt and egit) and they don't show up in menus (eg. there is still no Team->Git menu item)

Re: Eclipse woes

Same thing happened to me, I solved it by doing Help -> Check for Updates, in eclipse. Then restart eclipse and everything was back to normal.

Hey, did you actually update anything or just checked? What update sites did you enable? What user account did you run it from (root or regular one)?

Re: Eclipse woes

I checked for updates like lordmaop said and then installed them as normal user. While it may not be a good solution (?), eclipse now at least works like it should for me.

Re: Eclipse woes

I only install eclipse from repos. I install all plugins from Eclipse update site (or other sites). After update to 4.2.1 -- all gone. Eclipse then wanted to do an "update". Let it download and update and all plugins are back.

Re: Eclipse woes

I'm having trouble getting the Android plugins to work. If I installed them through Eclipse, where are they installed? /usr/share/eclipse gets removed when I uninstall Eclipse. But when I reinstall (using eclipse-jee from the AUR) the plugins and their associated urls are already there. That's after removing ~/.eclipse and ~/.config/eclipse too.

Re: Eclipse woes

The following workaround restores my plugins:

* downgrade eclipse (to 4.2-1)
* downgrade eclipse-cdt (to 8.1.0-2)
* rm -r ~/.eclipse

Same here (only using adt-plugin for android-development)

Re: Eclipse woes

Since I have one system working and one not (both x86_64) I was looking through the differences. Apparently I had more plugins installed on the system that wasn't working so I removed them one by one.

After all removing eclipse-emf (from AUR, in my case it was a depency of eclipse-wtp) did the trick and all other plugins (including eclipse-cdt) started working again.
However, reinstalling eclipse-emf from AUR still breaks it.

Re: Eclipse woes

I tried most of the things suggested in this thread and in the bug report comments.

Force removing eclipse-emf and eclipse-wtp and re-installing didn't help for me. Neither did updating plugins from eclipse as root, updating eclipse-emf, removing ~/.eclipse.

In the end when I totally removed eclipse-android, eclipse-emf and eclipse-wtp and re-installed, everything was ok.
