Created attachment 1210748 [details] Eclipse error log file Description of problem: For current Fedora 25, eclipse aborts after selecting the workspace. Instead, an error message pops up pointing to a log file which is attached to this bug report. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): eclipse-4.6.1-5.fc25 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run 'eclipse' in a shell. Actual results: After selecting the workspace, an error window pops up. Expected results: Eclipse starts up successfully. Additional info: No corresponding entry is found in the bug reporting tool.
I cannot reproduce this... Can you try running "eclipse -clean" or moving your ~/.eclipse directory to see if one of these fixes it?
I ran into this bug too after upgrading to eclipse-swt-4.6.1-5.fc25.x86_64. The last backtrace is exactly the same and I'm getting tens of "Unresolved requirement" messages before that. Got rid of it by starting eclipse with "-clean" parameter, then it started without issues. After that I am able to start eclipse without the "-clean" parameter. No error messages in log file any more.
I have had similar behaviour in the past but very little time to investigate. I initially suspected this was related to using 2 different Eclipse instances (eg. rpm or upstream) on the same workspace (even if they are the same version of Eclipse).
(In reply to Roland Grunberg from comment #3) The only eclipse installed on my systen has been pulled in through dnf. As pointed out correctly in comment 1, removing directory .eclipse/ allows for a clean start-up of eclipse thereafter.
I think this is exactly Bug 1392150. I've reproduced and think it's related to how bundles wire to javax.annotation (there are 2 providers : one from javax.annotation-api and one from the system bundle). *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1392150 ***
