Do you have a list of all the eclipse rpms that were on your system prior to removing them ? If you aren't able to reproduce that installation, perhaps you could go do 'dnf history list', and 'dnf history info [NUMBER]' to list the eclipse packages that were there initially. Eclipse RPMs, from "dnf history": eclipse-cdt-1:8.6.0-3.fc22.x86_64@updates eclipse-cdt-parsers-1:8.6.0-3.fc22.x86_64@updates eclipse-ecf-core-3.10.1-1.fc22.x86_64@updates eclipse-egit-4.0.1-1.fc22.noarch@updates eclipse-emf-core-1:2.10.2-1.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-equinox-osgi-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-filesystem-1.0-5.fc22.x86_64@updates eclipse-jdt-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-jgit-4.1.0-4.fc22.noarch@updates eclipse-linuxtools-3.2.0-1.fc22.noarch@fedora eclipse-mpc-1.3.2-1.fc22.noarch@fedora eclipse-mylyn-3.16.0-1.fc22.noarch@updates eclipse-mylyn-docs-wikitext-3.16.0-1.fc22.noarch@updates eclipse-p2-discovery-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-pde-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-platform-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-ptp-8.1.1-2.fc22.x86_64@fedora eclipse-ptp-rdt-8.1.1-2.fc22.noarch@fedora eclipse-ptp-rdt-xlc-8.1.1-2.fc22.noarch@fedora eclipse-remote-1.1.1-1.fc22.noarch@fedora eclipse-rse-3.7.0-1.fc22.noarch@updates eclipse-swt-1:4.4.2-5.fc22.x86_64@fedora Eclipse on F22 has been updated to Mars.1 (4.5.1) "Check for updates" seems to work fine for me with Eclipse 4.5.1. Do you still encounter the problem with the latest updates installed? It works now, thanks. Super, thanks for re-testing. |
After installing the package "eclipse-platform" (and all dependencies) via dnf, I could launch eclipse, but trying to use either "Check for updates" and "Install new software" (under the Help menu) would give me a NullPointerException. Running "eclipse -debug -consolelog" got me this exception: !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2015-10-24 16:34:01.158 !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Contacting Software Sites". !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.helpers.AbstractRepositoryManager.loadIndexFile(AbstractRepositoryManager.java:735) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.helpers.AbstractRepositoryManager.loadRepository(AbstractRepositoryManager.java:657) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.MetadataRepositoryManager.loadRepository(MetadataRepositoryManager.java:96) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.metadata.repository.MetadataRepositoryManager.loadRepository(MetadataRepositoryManager.java:92) at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.LoadMetadataRepositoryJob.doLoad(LoadMetadataRepositoryJob.java:117) at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.ui.LoadMetadataRepositoryJob.runModal(LoadMetadataRepositoryJob.java:102) at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.ui.sdk.PreloadingRepositoryHandler$2.runModal(PreloadingRepositoryHandler.java:83) at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations.ProvisioningJob.run(ProvisioningJob.java:177) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) I tried installing more Eclipse packages, including "eclipse-p2-discovery", but nothing helped. I eventually had to remove all of the Eclipse RPM packages and install Eclipse using the tar file from the Eclipse website.
