problem starting native Eclipse on F7 - java-devel - Fedora mailing-lists

26 Jul 2007


      hello there,
recently i upgraded my system from FC6 to F7.  after:
* removing the old eclipse RPMs, deleting usr/lib/eclipse,
usr/share/eclipse, ~/.eclipse, and ~/workspace directories,
* yum groupinstall Eclipse,
* starting eclipse with both gcj (GNU libgcj 4.1.2 20070502 (Red Hat
4.1.2-12)) and Sun's jdk1.5.0_12, i get an error and the log shows:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.runtime 2007-07-26 19:02:36.425
!MESSAGE Product org.eclipse.platform.ide could not be found.
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2007-07-26 19:02:36.430
