Eclipse Luna crashes on new project in Ubuntu - eclipse

I'm having some trouble getting Eclipse Luna to work. I downloaded the tar.gz from the eclipse site and I downloaded the tar.gz for the Java JDK. I extracted everything and Eclipse opens properly, but when I try to make a new project, it crashes on me. In the terminal I ran java -version and it tells me I have version 1.8.0_25 so I don't think I have an issue with java. Now, this happens if I try to make any kind of project. Eclipse opens the wizard for creating a new project of a particular type and then the whole application crashes. When I started doing this, I installed it under the KDE desktop. When Eclipse crashes, I get the message java: /build/buildd/gtk2-engines-oxygen-1.4.5/src/animations/oxygencomboboxdata.cpp:87‌​: void Oxygen::ComboBoxData::setButton(GtkWidget*): Assertion '!_button._widget' failed. So, I decided to install the xfce desktop to get around it, since oxygen is a KDE theme. I uninstalled eclipse and reinstalled it under xfce and I have the same behavior and the same errors. When I run eclipse from the command line, I get this exception on startup:
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.eclipse.osgi.internal.framework.EquinoxConfiguration$1 cannot be cast to java.lang.String

Does anyone have any ideas on what else to try?

According to comment 20 in this bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=440660#c20
This seems to be a bug in GTK according to
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk2-engines-oxygen/+bug/1242801
(there a similar problem for Meld was reported).
Another workaround mentioned there is for Oxygen, edit the normally already existing file
/usr/share/themes/oxygen-gtk/gtk-2.0/gtkrc and change
`GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 1`
into
`GtkComboBox::appears-as-list = 0`
This workaround is working for me.

I have resolved this issue by installing package gtk2-engines-oxygen built for Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (version 1.4.6):

Binary built with Eclipse CDT visible only inside the IDE but nowhere to be found outside,What Is Happening?

I am using latest Eclipse version with cmake4eclipse add-on on my Debian machine. I am a noob at using Eclipse and already there is a problem! The very strange problem is that after building a project the explorer tab of IDE shows the built binary but I can not actually find it using my usual file manager. When I try to run the binary from IDE, Eclipse complaints a nullpointer exception has occurred. What is happening here?

Eclipse error 'UseStringDeduplication'

I installed a fresh Ubuntu 16.04 VM, Oracle JDK 7, and downloaded the latest Eclipse. But I am getting this error when I try to start Eclipse:
Unrecognized VM option 'UseStringDeduplication'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
Why am I getting this error on a fresh install? And is it a bad idea to remove that VM option?
Latest version of Eclipse (Neon) requires Java 8 runtime, and the Eclipse website obnoxiously neglects to mention it anywhere from the homepage to the download link for Eclipse, not even a version warning at runtime for Eclipse.
Same error for me in Kubuntu 14.04, eclipse Neon,
I Removed -XX:+UseStringDeduplication from .ini file, it works for me
I know, i'm little to late to the party. I got this issue lately on my Mac. I updated my eclipse (from Mars to Oxygen) all of the sudden i couldn't start my old project. First i thought, this must have something to do with the new eclipse, which wasn't all wrong. Because eclipse.ini file of Oxygen expected java-1.8.
I updated my java to latest (jdk1.8.0_152.jdk), but the problem remained, than i removed these parameters from the eclipse.ini, still was the same, i checked the "Run Configurations" and basically removed the same parameters from the arguments list. Now my projects seem to work just fine. I also needed to restore the platform, since Oxygen use e.4-platform.
Remove these parameters from eclipse.ini file
Select the project and go to "Run As"->"Run Configurations..."-> "Arguments" check the old configurations under "VM arguments" (it can be a product in case of an RCP-project)
removed the VM-option(s)(actually, they can be more) not recognized and "Apply"-> "Run".
I got the same error when I have installed Java 8 and Java 9 in my Ubuntu 16.04. My eclipse version was Neon. As https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation#Eclipse_4.6_.28Neon.29 describes to start specific eclipse ide you need relevant JDK. For neon, it was Java 8. Since I installed Java 9 using apt-get it was the default JDK. so I have to change the default JDK to Java 8.
You can check which java version used in system-wide with
java -version
`If you want to see which are the versions of JDK installed in Ubuntu then run below command in shell.
sudo update-java-alternatives --list
Then choose which version you want to set. After that run below command.
sudo update-java-alternatives --set [JDK/JRE name e.g. java-8-oracle]
Now run again Eclipse. if the version was the reason to conflict, it will run now. Referred by http://menukanows.com/how-to-set-a-default-jdk-version-in-ubuntu/
String Deduplication – A new feature in Java 8 Update 20
It means you should nt java 1.8 updated later or equal 20.
I faced the same issue on Eclipse Oxygen in Ubuntu.
Tried:
Checking java version (It was already at 1.8.0 so according to the accepted answer, it should work.)
Removing -XX:+UseStringDeduplication from .ini file
Still didn't solve the problem. Then I saw #simgineer's comment:
In my case this was for eclipse oxygen. I had an older version of java
8 installed (jdk1.8.0_05) when I upgraded to the latest (jdk1.8.0_151)
and updated my eclipse.ini to point to the latest as well (since it is
recorded in there during installation) eclipse oxygen started working.
Solution:
Updated JDK from 1.8.0 to jdk1.8.0_231 and it got resolved.
Voila! I didn't have to update anything in my eclipse.ini .

javafx Eclipse Mars install

I have just installed eclipse Mars (4.5) and I have a problem with one old JavaFx project. Before installing Mars, I was using Luna and got no problem with my JavaFx projects, now I have the following problem with one project, all the javafx code are underlined with a similar error:
Access restriction: The type 'LineChart' is not API (restriction on required library 'C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_45\lib\ext\jfxrt.jar')
I do not know what it means, I tried to refresh the project and reboot Eclipse but the errors do not disappear, I can run my application without any problem though. I have other JavaFx project but none got this error.
I am using the latest JDK 1.8 update 45.
I solved my problem by removing JavaFX SDK from the build path and adding it again. I don't understand why it did not work the first time.

Eclipse randomly exits after installation of Blackberry plugin/SDK

Since adding the Blackberry Java classes from their website into eclipse, I've had it where eclipse will randomly close, with no discernible pattern, rhyme, error or reason. Here is the environment/software packages that I am using:
Windows XP SP2
Eclipse v3.5.1
Blackberry Java Plugin v1.1.1.200911111641-15
Blackberry Java SDK 4.5.0.21
I've tried the usual steps of complete uninstall and reinstallation of Eclipse and the accompanying plugins on multiple systems with the same configuration, including one that had a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. Upgrading to Eclipse 3.6 didn't work (the plugin wont' install as it's the wrong version), nor the downgrade to 3.4 for the same reason. I also increased the heap size to 512 (system has two gigs of memory) as some research into Eclipse doing this type of thing with Groovy was resolved that way, but again, no dice. Eclipse works great when the blackberry plugins are not installed, and no entries of errors or issues in the event log are helping to show what the issue with these plug-ins might be.
So if anyone has ran into this issue, and even better, has a solution, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: An additional to my issue, autoComplete with the Blackberry SDK seems to make this extremely unstable, like almost a guaranteed crash. Is this fixable at all?
For anyone that loads this question up trying to find a solution, I've never found a fix. It seems to be a bug with this version of the IDE. If there is a fix, please post.
Did you try to downgrade Eclipse to 3.4 (Ganymede)? I experienced similar issues when I tried upgrading Eclipse to something greater than 3.4.2.
I think the problem is with the plugin, not the IDE. Eclipse has always been stable for me until I installed the BB plugin. Since then it crashes all the time. Since I've installed the release (non-beta) version of the plugin that was recently released I can't even get my project to build.
This could be a manifestation of this bug in Eclipse. Check your C:\eclipse directory for files like hs_err_pidxxxx.log. The file goes on to explain this error:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x753ba053, pid=3144, tid=5820
#
# JRE version: 6.0_20-b02
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (16.3-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C [USP10.dll+0x1a053]
I've been experiencing this as well. It's completely debilitating. It causes Eclipse to just up and crash out of nowhere (and programming in a language as verbose as Java without Content-Assist is insane).
The bug has been fixed in Eclipse 3.6M7, but unfortunately I can't get the JDE Plug-in to install in the latest release candidate.
This is a known issue with Eclipse 3.5.X and has been fixed for 3.6.0
Bug Ticket link on Eclipse Bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=283503
Looks like we are stuck with this until the next update to the BB Eclipse plugin.

NullPointerException from Eclipse Compiler

I am receiving the following message from my Eclipse compiler, and my project fails to compile....
Internal compiler error: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.problem.ProblemReporter.missingTypeInMethod(ProblemReporter.java:5075)
I've tried updating Eclipse, restarting eclipse, closing and opening the project, refreshing, cleaning/rebuilding, etc. I'm out of ideas.
That seems to be the bug 250297, fixed in eclipse 3.4.2. Also fixed in the 3.5 (M4, November 2008, as mentioned in this JDT release notes)
The failure occurs on line (>>>):
public void missingTypeInMethod(MessageSend messageSend, MethodBinding method)
{
List missingTypes = method.collectMissingTypes(null);
>>> TypeBinding missingType = (TypeBinding) missingTypes.get(0);
It would indicate that though we identified a missing type (which we try to complain against), we fail to locate it inside the method signature...
So... if you are using an "older" version of eclipse (like 3.4, or 3.4.1), a good solution is to upgrade (that is, install another fresh version of eclipse, 3.4.2 or 3.5.1), while reusing your same workspace.
The error should then go away.
I had this problem as late as Eclipse Luna (4.4). The only way I found to get rid of it was to upgrade to Eclipse Mars (4.5.0). I don't know if this is relevant to the issue, but I upgraded to java 8 shortly before the problem arose.
HTH.
