Eclipse IDE suddenly gone after installation? - eclipse

I tried installing the Eclipse IDE, installation is successful. After installation, it runs and I successfully run a simple Hello World program.
I closed the IDE, and later I tried to open it but I couldn't find the application either on my startup menu and desktop. I tried to open my Control Panel but I couldn't find it there too.
I reinstall the IDE and the same thing happened. Am I missing something here? I'm using Windows 10.

Eclipse Java IDE restore

I was developing a plugin, using Eclipse IDE for java developers (Version: 2021-09 (4.21.0)
Build id: 20210910-1417)
During development, when I run it as an eclipse application, it opens a runtime-Eclipse application where the plug-in is present. In my setup this new runtime-eclips app opened from a folder next to the workspace, where C codes were present. (and my progrem would get the tests run in C , and get the results from it's exe)
Then I downloaded the Eclipse IDE for committers, which is a newer version. I downloaded it as a zip and after unpacking I run the eclipse.exe. My program had problems opening the runtime-Eclipse application in C there, so i went back to the older one which is installed on my computer.
After opening the original eclipse, on which I was working and had no problems, I was hoping everything will be fine. It opens the IDE for java developers (same version, same build) but I have the same problems with the runtime-eclipse application as the one I run as an eclipse.exe , (not recognising the C code?? I don't understand).
When i try to run the plug-in I get this error.
And when the runtime-app opens i get this error.
I cannot create C projects anymore on the runtime-app. I don't know the reason behind this.
Also I have billion of these
["java.net.UnknownHostException: downdload.eclipse.ort"]
[" org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: Unknown Host: http://downdload.eclipse.ort/eclipse/updates/4.2/content.xml "]
Thank you in advance!
I don't know if it is possible or not, since seemingly it did not update the older eclipse IDE. If it can be restored the way it was before i run the eclipse.exe, I would be happy.
eclipse.ort is obviously a typo, it should be eclipse.org, I don't know where it is coming from - but its possible you enter it yourself as update site
the runtime error means eclipse cannot resolve all dependencies, which means it could not load bunch of plugins including yours, you need to figure out why on your own, its not possible to debug this remotely, its best to start from the scratch in the new workspace
The solution was easier than expected. The run configuration was modified by the other eclipse version. It was not launched with every plugin. only a selected handful

Eclipse makes window explorer go slow

I started using eclipse today. I downloades from the page, this version Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers, and suddenly, after using eclipse windows explorer starts going slow, it takes like 5 minutes to load a folder, and even if i close eclispe this problem is still there. I can't uninstall and reinstall because it was a zip archive not an executable. If i restart the computer, everything goes perfect, but afer i open eclipse one i can't even make right click on the desktop to creat a file, because it gets stuck.
No idea how to solve it. Any tips?

Qt application made in Eclipse doesn't start

I've been trying for a few hours now to make eclipse, mingw and Qt work, and I can't manage to.
No matter what I try, when I try to run the qt application (using Run or Debug, same thing), no window appears, and after a few seconds, Eclipse says 'program terminated'. Another time I tried (using some different configurations), windows would give that "Program has stopped" error.
If I try to launch the application from outside eclipse, I get a missing .dll error.
I have Qt 4.8.1 installed, latest version of eclipse, and I just installed the latest version of MinGW. I am also using the Qt plugin for Eclipse. I'm running Windows 7.
There are also some other minor problems:
For some reason I have to rebuild the index after opening/creating a project, or I'll get 'undefined include' errors.
The build (hammer) icon in the toolbar is grayed/disabled, why could that be?
For every new project, I need to change the make application to mingw32-make, is it possible to make the toolchain use this make executable or something?
I can't understand why Microsoft Visual Studio just works, I didn't have to set up anything other than install the Qt add-in, and Eclipse is so hard to configure...

Eclipse and Pydev plugin

After installing and configuring PyDev plugin on Eclipse it works fine.
BUT when I close Eclipse IDE and open it again and want to run python program I cannot because there is no Python Run.
What should I do, is there anyone who has encountered such type of error ?
Thanks
I found the problem, I do not know why but the eclipse always changes the default workspace and this is creating a problem.
When I set my workspace back to a needed location the error gone and I was able to compile and run the python program.

can compile c++ in eclipse - Cannot run program "autoreconf": Launching failed

I installed eclipse Helios a week ago. First I installed it without the CDT.
Today I installed the CDT along with the autotool (this it what can be seen in the list of possible updates). Afterwards, I installed also the minGW (Wascana) as written in the manual of CDT.
but after I create an Hello World project in eclipse I get this error (blinking non stopable) in the console tab:
Invoking autoreconf in build directory: D:/eclipse/proj/workspace/testcpp
Configuration failed with error
(Cannot run program "autoreconf": Launching failed)
Can anyone help me with this? What else do I need to install or config so my CDT will work?
thanks,
Eli
The autotools plug-in doesn't work on Windows yet. There is a fix in place for the upcoming Indigo Eclipse release.
The main problem is that Windows doesn't know how to run shell scripts (which is what autoreconf is). You have to launch the shell manually and ask it to run it. And that's what the fix is.
