Hi,

I recently updated my laptop, and it updated JRE and JDK. After that update Eclipse won't start. I don't know if it need rebuilding because I saw on the dev list that we are no longer using Sun's JVM and opted for the open-source one (openjdk) (correct me if I am wrong) ?

Anyway here the relevant versions of the packages : eclipse 3.4.1-1 jdk 6u11-1 jre 6u11-1

If you're using jdk/jre from community, it is still the Sun's Java implementation. You'd have to remove it and then do pacman -S openjdk6 to switch. Don't know what's wrong with Eclipse though.

I attached the Eclipse log file with this message. *EDIT*: For some reasons the list wouldn't let me post the log file so here a link: http://pastebin.com/m1beb7eb9

Perhaps try to do some googling about the errors from lines 11 and 25. Actually, all the lines of the pattern "Bundle reference:file:plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources.compatibility_3.4.0.v20080604-1400.jar was not resolved." are suspicious too. Seems like eclipse can't find many of its plugins. Try to look for these files whether you have them somewhere. Didn't you use some auto-update that might have failed or something?

Have you run Eclipse recently, Christian? (i.e., since after recent Eclipse upgrades) Because I've found that sometimes my workspace becomes incompatible with newer versions of Eclipse. So try creating a new workspace maybe and see if you still have the problem.

HTH,

DR Yup just recently tried and it wouldn't start.

I cleared my workspace, deleted all Eclipse configs files and reinstalled the package. Now it works, but still this is a strange bug ! Are the Eclipse devs aware that upgrading causes workspace incompatibility ? Thank you for your help, Christian Babeux
