Comment 1 Jeff Johnston 2017-10-11 16:24:01 UTC
This bug should be against eclipse proper.  From the trace, there is a failure with LegacyIDE.e4xmi.  This may be a configuration issue after updating.  I would suggest you try moving your .eclipse folder to a temporary location (.eclipseold for example), and then start eclipse again and see if that solves the problem.

Comment 2 Rob Clark 2017-10-11 16:33:23 UTC
yup, renaming ~/.eclipse does seem to get it working again.

Comment 3 Ulf Rompe 2017-10-12 11:18:56 UTC
Same problem hit me today, same solution worked.

Comment 4 Tobias Guggenmos 2018-05-02 15:05:34 UTC
Happened to me after upgrade from fedora 27 to 28. Workaround worked.

Comment 6 Fedora End Of Life 2018-05-03 08:31:00 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 26 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 26. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '26'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 26 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Tobias Guggenmos 2018-05-03 12:16:21 UTC
I'm somehow not able to change the version to f28. Could someone else do this?

Comment 8 Ben Cotton 2019-05-02 21:52:05 UTC

Comment 9 Ben Cotton 2019-05-28 20:04:04 UTC
Fedora 28 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2019-05-28. Fedora 28 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
