My ant build stopped working sometime recently. I don't know exactly when, since I only do ant builds occasionally in this project. I get the following popup:
The error is only for this project. I can run a build from another project no problem.
The build.xml file can be extremely simple, and still cause the error:
<project basedir=".">
<target name="init">
</target>
</project>
I checked Eclipse's log and I get this error:

I was using Eclipse 2020-06. I tried upgrading to Eclipse 2020-09 to fix the problem, but no luck.
JVM according to eclipse is eclipse.vm=C:\java\jdk-13.0.1\bin\server\jvm.dll
The release file in that java folder says:

Any idea how to address this?
This seems to be related to the Java used to run the Ant script.
In the run configuration, in the JRE tab, make sure a JRE/JDK is selected (for an existing Ant run configuration it can happen that the previously selected JRE/JDK is lost due to changes in the preferences Java > Installed JREs or when updating Java). If a JRE/JDK is already selected, try another JRE/JDK setting here (if there are VM arguments specify, try it without them, since they might be illegal for the chosen VM).
I got a similar error after upgrading Eclipse to 2022-03. Ant would not run but showed no errors. Then I noticed the java.net.SocketException: Socket closed error in the workspace logs.
Changing the JRE as suggested by the other answer fixed only if I used a recent Java version but I needed to use JDK 1.8. Since I could not fix the issue I simply downgraded Eclipse to 2021-12.
Apparently at least Java 11 will be needed to run Ant in future releases: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579317
I have just upgraded to MercualEclipse plugin in Eclipse version 2.5.0.201804011616.
When I try to revert a file or perform almost any Mercualaction I get the following error...
The .log file contains this...

Note: I've tested this with a fresh install & workspace for
eclipse-jee-oxygen-3-win32-x86_64
eclipse-jee-photon-M6-win32-x86_64
I am using hg.exe version 4.2.1
I have tested with JDK 1.7 and 1.8
Can anyone suggest a fix or workaround?
I have released version 2.5.1 in the Experimental Releases category. But first, see the comments in the issue report.
When I try to compare a current file in Eclipse Kepler with an older revision I always get the
message that there are no difference (which is not true) followed by the error reporting screen saying:
> SVN: '0x00400103: Compare with Revision' operation finished with
> error: null java.lang.NullPointerException
I actually switched from Subclipse to Subversive as Comparing was much more advanced there but after migrating eclipse from on computer to the other (which involed relinking my projects to there repos) I cannot use Compare anymore.
The section in the .metadata/.logs says:

This appears to be Eclipse bug 425740 which is closed as a bug in the third party SVN code: http://issues.tmatesoft.com/issue/SVNKIT-427
Without any apparent reason (no update whatsoever), since a few days the EGit text decoration doesn't show up in Eclipse any more.
It is unchecked in "Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Label Decorations > Git", and I cannot check it!! If I check it and "Apply" and "OK", nothing happens and it remains unchecked...

Thanks for your help!
According to the stack trace, it seems to choke because of
Missing commit 11d64b0d91bf24bfb551fbf20c3f6b244dacd74a
You might want to reset (hard) your repository to origin/master, or to clone it again from an upstream repository, assuming that this is a local problem of your repository only, which might vanish by "replacing" it with the upstream content.
I ended up re-installing Eclipse and cleaning my workspace. Now everything is fine...
I am not sure what started this problem. I submitted it as a bug to Eclipse but they closed it, stating it is a JBoss extension problem. However, this problem doesn't occur in my other workspace (both utilize the JBoss tools).
It occurs every time I hit Ctrl+Shift+T to open a new type. It only reports the "Cache Refresh" error. Then when I type in a search string and hit OK, it pops up both the "Cache Refresh" error and a "Items filtering" error. Both of these report NPEs.
I inspected the logs but don't see anything jboss-specific in the stacks.
Cache refresh:

I had to reinstall Helios (SR2) to make these errors go away.
