Exception starting eclipse luna (SR1) on OSX - eclipse

When starting eclipse I get the following error on mac
01:37:17 ~/Downloads/eclipse$ ./Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse

This is from a fresh download of eclipse-java-luna-SR1-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz anyone else having the same issue?
I'm not getting any output in my console windows within eclipse, assuming it's related to the above error.

See question 26077296
The class cast exception is a regression in Eclipse 4.4.1 (Luna SR1) Equinox component: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=445122
A number of components were broken by that.

Workaround which saved a lot of headache for me, because eclipse wont start at all.
Adding the following lines to eclipse.ini helped.
-Dosgi.configuration.area.default=null
-Dosgi.user.area.default=null
-Dosgi.user.area=#user.home
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=null
and then ./eclipse -clean
Then make an update from the menu Help.
and then simply run eclipse, the way you were doing till now.

WFLYSRV0177: Error getting reflective information for class

I am developing a JEE project using Eclipse JEE (2019-09), Maven, Wildfly 17, JSF, PrimeFaces 7.0 running on Ubuntu 18.04.
My project used to compile, deploy and run on the WildFly 17 server until today. However, because I recieved strange errors when debugging, I installed an earlier Eclipse IDE to try to run my project on it.
After installing the older version of Eclipse (2019-03) in its own dedicated workspace, I got this error message when deploying my application to WildFly:
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: WFLYSRV0177: Error getting reflective information for class
I then switched back to my initial Eclipse JEE (2019-09) Version, but then I kept recieving the same error message upon deploying.
I' ve searched the internet and found these two similar problems:
Error getting reflective information for class
Wildfly: Error getting reflective information for class
but actually not a solution to my problem.
Could somebody please help?
The problem was that the Maven jar- dependencies were not added to the WEB-INF/lib path.
Actually, in the deployed .war file the folder WEB-INF/lib was completely missing.
I fixed the problem by right-mouse click on my project in Eclipse, then "Properties", then "Deployment Assembly".
I added the missing entry "Maven Dependencies" as follows:

Eclipse Neon cannot start a java debug session

I'm using Eclipse Neon from the release date. Yesterday I got some strange errors in Eclipse and after a reboot of the Eclipse instance everything was gone. I installed Eclipse and my plugins again. Everything is working again but when I launch the Java debugger on one of my project I got the error:
An internal error occurred during: "XXXX".
java.lang.NullPointerException
This error occurs on debugging all my projects also in another workspace. Can someone help me with this? The error is not explaining what the exact problem is.
In the logfile of Eclipse I can found the follow error:
java.lang.NullPointerException

I fully removed my previous Eclipse environment. Settings included.
Installed Eclipse environment from a clean install and installed all my plugins again. The problem was fixed.

Eclipse Plug-ins develop: Plug-in A use a Class in Plug-in B, after exporting as jars and installed in to eclipse, NoClassDefFoundError occurs

Plugin A uses a class,ClassB, which is from Plugin B.When "run as eclipse application", everything goes well; however, when PluginA adn Plugin B are exported as Jar, and install into a new eclipse platform, they run well independently, but crash when the codes reach the line where Plugin A uses the ClassB.
error log: ava.lang.NoClassDefFoundError Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException
In plugin org.jboss.vpe.browsersim.eclipse, there is BrowserSimLauncher.java in the package org.jboss.vep.browsersim.eclipse.launcher;
In plugin org.ayound.js.debug.core, there exits a java file "JsLaunchConfigurationDelegate.java", and I put BrowserSimLauncher.launchBrowserSim(startUrl);
into it, this means I've used previous plugin's class 'BrowserSimLauncher' in the latter plugin.
I also do all the"dependencies things", including adding lines to latter plugin's manifest.mf:
Import-Package: org.jboss.tools.vpe.browsersim.eclipse.launcher
and to previous plugin's manifest.mf:
Export-Package: org.jboss.tools.vpe.browsersim.eclipse.launcher
In the development environment, both plugins compiles successfully, when "run as eclipse application", things goes well, and the latter plugin can sucessfully call BrowserSimLauncher.launchBrowserSim(startUrl); ;
however, when I exported both plugins as several .jar files, and copy them into the /plugin folder of another eclipse directory, start the eclipse, both plugins can run well independently, but the plugin fails to call BrowserSimLauncher.launchBrowserSim(startUrl);. and the error log show as follow:

the latter plugin(js.debug.core) can't find the previous plugin(browsersim.eclipse)!
If you just copy plugins in to the Eclipse 'plugins' directory then you need to specify the '-clean' option when you start Eclipse to get it to rebuild the plugin dependencies cache.
You can specify '-clean' on the Eclipse command line or in the eclipse.ini file (here it must be before any -vmargs line).
It is safe to always specify -clean but it will slow down the Eclipse start a bit.
supplements:
Just startup eclipse with option "-clean", problem solved. Details are from reference article:
What it does:
if set to "true", any cached data used
by the OSGi framework and eclipse
runtime will be wiped clean. This will
clean the caches used to store bundle
dependency resolution and eclipse
extension registry data. Using this
option will force eclipse to
reinitialize these caches.
How to use it:
Edit the eclipse.ini file located in your Eclipse install directory and insert -clean as the first line.
Or edit the shortcut you use to start Eclipse and add -clean as the first argument.
Or create a batch or shell script that calls the Eclipse executable with the -clean argument. The advantage to this step is you can keep the script around and use it each time you want to clean out the workspace. You can name it something like eclipse-clean.bat (or eclipse-clean.sh).

Eclipse CDT failure to debug in Ubuntu 11.10, throwing java.lang.NullPointerException

I've recently done a fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10, installing the latest version of Eclipse CDT. I'm trying to debug an existing C++ project with makefiles and Eclipse project files generated by CMake. Upon attempting to debug (with all of the correct settings given in the Debug Configuration), the launch fails with error:
An internal error occurred during: "Launching mops-app".
java.lang.NullPointerException
This does not occur when trying to debug a minimal Hello World project. The project could be successfully debugged on Ubuntu 11.04 with the latest version of Eclipse CDT. The java version on my machine is:
java version "1.6.0_23"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11pre) (6b23~pre10-0ubuntu5)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.0-b11, mixed mode)
And the Eclipse output from trying to launch the debug configuration is:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-10-31 11:50:24.211

The issue was associated with upgrading the version of CMake. CMake 2.8.5 generated 'Subproject' entries in the Eclipse .cproject and .project files. For some reason, CMake by default told Eclipse to ignore the Subproject paths, thus confusing Eclipse's indexer when it tried to debug code.
The problem is easily resolved by commenting-out the <linkedResources> entry of the .project file, e.g.
<!--link>
<name>[Subprojects]/MOPS</name>
<type>2</type>
<location>/home/user/mops-c-Git/src/mopsc</location>
</link-->
and commenting-out the Subproject portion <pathentry> entry of the .cproject file, e.g.
<!--pathentry kind="src" path="MOPS"/>
<pathentry excluding="MOPS/|**/CMakeFiles/" kind="out" path=""/-->
Make sure to have selected the executable to run in the Run/Run or Run/Debug menu.
I had a similar problem (Ubuntu 14.04, SBT 13.1.0) - launching Debugger caused a java.lang.NullPointerException. Checking the log by starting Eclipse with eclipse-nios2 -consoleLog, I had similar entries:
java.lang.NullPointerException

at org.eclipse.cdt.debug.internal.core.model.CDebugTarget.<init>(CDebugTarget.java:279)
I believe the cause is the same; I found another fix and wanted to share it for completeness.
I have linked resources in my project, and the log made me suspect they were the cause. I had linked the resources with Import->General->File system->[... Create links in workspace...].
I removed these links and instead linked to the sources by Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->[tab] Source Location->Link folder....
This made the Debugger run fine without complaining.

problem installing eclipse groovy plugin in galileo

I'm trying to install groovy plugin in eclipse 3.5 using this update site.
It does install but when it tries to restart I get an exception.
!SESSION Sat Aug 29 15:47:17 PDT 2009 ------------------------------------------
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2009-08-29 15:47:17.287

I tried to start using -clean options,deleted workspace no luck
Did anyone get this too??
It looks like you're missing a class or a jar required by the plugin; I'm not sure which one though, since the stacktrace does not indicate any such plugin specific class. You could attempt the following:
Examine the .log file of the workspace to view any additional details of the exception.
Verify if all the Groovy Eclipse plugin jars are present in the plugins and features directory of the Eclipse installation.
Start Eclipse with the consolelog and debug switches, and pipe the output to a debug log file. Examine for anything indicative of the problem in the logfile; if needed post the log file. The command to start Eclipse in this mode would be $eclipse -consolelog -debug | tee debugfile.log
Install the plugin on a clean installation of Eclipse.
OK now finally i fixed it after 2 days of war with eclipse, so for some reason when groovy plugin was installed eclipse modified config.ini file inside configuration folder
so I have to modify config.ini file to replace osgi.bundles value with
osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.100.v20090520-1905.jar#1\:start,reference\:file\:plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core_3.5.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.apache.commons.collections_3.2.1.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.apache.commons.lang_2.3.0.v200803061910.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy_1.7.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35/#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.ant_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35/#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.codeassist.completion_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.codebrowsing_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.core_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.core.help_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35/#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.cstviewer_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.refactoring_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.ui_2.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4,reference\:file\:/Applications/galileo/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core_1.0.0.xx-20090828-1900-e35.jar#4
By default osgi.bundles value is osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.0.100.v20090520-1905.jar#1\:start but as soon as I installed groovy plugin I had a modified value which caused eclipse fali to start.
now my eclipse starts and i see the groovy features too..
I had the same problem with installing the CVS plugin on a Eclipse Platform installation running TeXlipse. Turns out, after installing CVS, the installer had modified not the osgi.bundles, but the osgi.framework.
/Applications/TeXlipse/configuration/config.ini said:
osgi.framework=file\:/Applications/TeXlipse/Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.2.R35x_v20100126.jar
and it was supposed to say
osgi.framework=file\:/Applications/TeXlipse/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.5.2.R35x_v20100126.jar
