Created attachment 401512 [details] Eclipse error logfile Description of problem: Let me start by saying that I'm not sure if this is a Fedora problem or Eclipse problem. For some reason Eclipse will no longer start and I keep getting this really bad error log. I tried to uninstall Eclipse and manually remove _everything_ such as .eclipse etc. etc. Then after a clean install "yum groupinstall eclipse" I still get the same damn error ;( ... java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" could not be found in the registry. ... I'm on Fedora 12 - which I have been rock solid with Eclipse until this weekend! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Eclipse 3.5.1-22.fc12 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Clean install of Eclipse using "yum groupinstall eclipse" 2.Start eclipse from command line "eclipse" 3.Error is dumped to log file Actual results: Expected results: To start the Eclipse IDE Additional info: See attachment
Did you run Eclipse as root at some point? Does this give any output: for f in `rpm -aq | grep eclipse`; do rpm -qV $f; done
I tried running Eclipse as root just to see if that was broke too - which it was. The above gives me the following result: [msh@slott ~]$ for f in `rpm -aq | grep eclipse`; do rpm -qV $f; done ..5....T. c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/config.ini S.5....T. c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.bundledata.1 missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.lazy.1 missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager/.fileTable.4 missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.manager/.fileTable.5 missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/.state.1 missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111 missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1 missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-atk-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-awt-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-cairo-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-glx-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-gnome-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3555.so missing c /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-xulrunner-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111 missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1 missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-atk-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-awt-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-cairo-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-glx-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-gnome-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/111/1/.cp/libswt-xulrunner-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-atk-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-awt-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-cairo-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-glx-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-gnome-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-pi-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/libswt-xulrunner-gtk-3555.so missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk.linux.x86_64_3.5.1.v3555a.jar missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt_3.5.1.v3555a.jar missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/swt-gtk-3.5.1.jar missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/swt-gtk-3.5.jar missing /usr/lib64/eclipse/swt.jar S.5....T. c /usr/lib64/eclipse/eclipse.ini I have however downloaded the 3.5.2 of Eclipse and that works like a charm.
Your RPM installation was broken by running it as root. You'll need to make it so that rpm -qV on all of the eclipse packages gives no output. I suggest removing them all with "yum remove eclipse-\*" and then seeing if anything still exists in /usr/lib64/eclipse that isn't owned by any other RPMs. Like you tried before, you may also need to mv ~/.eclipse{,.bak20100323}.
Ok thanx for the answer - I'll try this when I'm done with my current project as I do not want to delay it at this time.
