Eclipse JEE doesn't start

Hi,

I was using Eclipse before and everything worked well. Today I tried to install eclipse-jee from aur (starting by uninstalling eclipse) and now eclipse-jee doesn't want to start. I think that the previous eclipse let corrupted config files, i tried to delete ~/.eclipse but I got exactly the same output, it seems the ~/.config/eclipse is missing (and it is) :

[cedric@m50sv ~]$ eclipse
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: osgi/configuration/area=@user/home//config/eclipse
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: osgi.configuration.area=@user.home..config.eclipse

[cedric@m50sv eclipse]# java -version

OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)

I tried to download eclipse-jee from eclipse's website and everything runs perfectly but I just wanted to have a proper install of eclipse-jee. Any ideas ?

Why won't you just install JEE plugins into Eclipse from [extra]?

Well the problem is that I didn't find any JEE plugin for eclipse. I just found the Eclipse JEE IDE here and from [AUR].

Maybe I missed a package somewhere ?

Sorry for necroposting... But I believe this may be helpful.

The reason of such behaviour is wry eclipse.ini.patch.
It adds the following line to the eclipse.ini file

osgi.configuration.area=@user.home/.config/eclipse

But it should add the following instead.

-Dosgi.configuration.area=@user.home/.config/eclipse

So editing eclipse.ini manually solves the issue

I'm going to notify package maintainer about the issue now.
