Comment 1 Derek P. Moore 2007-10-24 20:58:23 UTC

I have always had this same problem with Fedora 7.

Comment 2 Robert Marcano 2007-10-25 12:12:37 UTC

Can both try with the latest release available 1.4.x and remove beforehand the
directory $HOME/.eclipse

Comment 3 Stuart Campbell 2007-10-25 16:25:31 UTC

I cannot seem to find a version 1.4.x anywhere?  Where do I get it from ?

Comment 4 Robert Marcano 2007-10-25 16:35:25 UTC

oops my mistake.. it is 1.2.4 not 1.4, do not forget to remove beforehand the
directory $HOME/.eclipse, some caching is done there that i have still not been
able to workaround

Comment 5 Robert Marcano 2007-10-25 16:47:01 UTC

1.2.4 is not tagged for fedora 8 yet.. it looks like I have to wait for bug
#350291 to rebuild it again

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2007-10-26 00:53:47 UTC

I guess this the same problem that stops one opening an svn project too?

Removing ~/.eclipse does not help for me.

I wonder if this should be proposed as an F8Blocker.

Comment 7 Stuart Campbell 2007-11-07 10:21:13 UTC

I have just done a clean install of RC3 (with a new user and home directory) and
I still get the same problem.

Comment 8 Stuart Campbell 2007-11-07 10:51:16 UTC

I have just downloaded 1.2.4-3 from koji and that seems to have fixed the problem.

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2007-11-08 02:58:14 UTC

Robert, are you going to push an update for F8 soon?

Comment 10 Fedora Update System 2007-11-13 00:05:44 UTC

eclipse-subclipse-1.2.4-5.fc8 has been pushed to the Fedora 8 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.
