Description of problem: Periodically my eclipse shows me an error about a malformatted message. This is a german locale. Not sure what plugin causes this.

Workaround: Remove the nls package for eclipse. In my case this was Nov 21 12:39:20 Erased: eclipse-nls-de Then the problem seems to be gone.
So this is a problem with eclipse-nls. Changing component.
Yeah, seems to be a bad formatted translation string. I hoped someone with a little more spare time then me currently could figure out what string that was from the backtrace and fix it. Maybe I could do it next week if noone steps in.
If it helps: it occurs any time, when some entry in the error log appear (or maybe also disappear - not tested). For example, if you compile a C Makefile project which has some warnings (unused variables, etc.)
I haven't had a chance to reproduce the problem yet, but does anyone want to try the updated lang packs to see if they fix the problem? http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2631446 You'll need to grab the base rpm: eclipse-nls-3.6.0.v20100814043401-1.fc15.noarch.rpm plus the 'de' rpm: eclipse-nls-de-3.6.0.v20100814043401-1.fc15.noarch.rpm
Another build, basically the same as the last one: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=206810 Again, you'll need to grab the base eclipse-nls rpm: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/eclipse-nls/3.6.0.v20100814043401/2.fc15/noarch/eclipse-nls-3.6.0.v20100814043401-2.fc15.noarch.rpm plus the eclipse-nls-de rpm: http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/packages/eclipse-nls/3.6.0.v20100814043401/2.fc15/noarch/eclipse-nls-de-3.6.0.v20100814043401-2.fc15.noarch.rpm
