Comment 1 Alexander Kurtakov 2012-01-10 13:41:57 UTC
This situation occurs because we had to break a packaging loop by moving a
plugin from eclipse-jdt to eclipse-platform.  Unfortunately, without invasive,
fragile workarounds, the only way to fix this is to stop Eclipse, mv
~/.eclipse{,.bak} and restart Eclipse.  Some user preferences may be
lost and plugins you manually installed  will be gone but
you should get the RPM-installed plugins back and you'll be able to re-install
anything you previously installed from within Eclipse.

We apologize for this issue and are working on a more robust solution to ensure
it never happens again.
