Description of problem: After mentioned update eclipse fails to load it's plugins including cdt, qt (external) and many others. Even in 'About' it shows nothing except himself. Downgrade to 3.7.1-4 helps. Packages updated together here: eclipse-platform eclipse-jdt eclipse-pde eclipse-swt eclipse-rcp All from 3.7.1-4 to 3.7.1-7 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
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{,.bak2011-12-21} and restart Eclipse. Some user preferences may be lost and plugins you manually installed (qt, it sounds like) 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. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 760454 ***
