Javadoc Hover suddenly broke in eclipse luna - eclipse

I installed eclipse luna a week ago and worked every day with it until the javadoc broke yesterday.
When i hover on a class or method, the popup shows, with the right dimension apparently, but it's blank.
This problem happens for classes that i wrote, classes that come from maven dependencies and classes from the jdk (like String).
I restarted eclipse, the computer, and it still doesn't work.
I didn't notice anything i did diferently that could have caused this.
I looked at the build path and for each jar, there is the source path and the javadoc path.
The javadoc view is empty also.
I don't know what to do. I can't work without the javadoc hovers.
Edit :
In the error view i saw that the first time i try to hover i get an Internal error on "org.eclipse.jdt.ui" :

Edit 2 : it still doesn't work !
I uninstalled eclipse and reinstalled a fresh one, i wiped the workspace, there are no changes.

The problem is as the #Pavel Horal said
You should switch your browser to a different one , the default browser is IE by modifying the eclipse.ini file eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserspecifydefault
or just add
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
at the end of your eclipse.ini file.
Or if you are more comfortable with UI interface of the eclipse you can use this help to change the default browser HELP.

Maven M2Eclipse plugin not working

Hi I have a strange problem I can not solve on my own. I am trying to use Maven in Newest Spring Tool Suite. I got it working without any problems on my laptop but it doesn't work on my pc (windows 7). On both I have the same version of STS, Maven and other plugins like GWT etc.
The problem is that on PC maven has connection problems (Unable to update index for central|https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) - that is a massage I saw earlier unfortunately I can not reproduce it now it continoiusly tries to update but nothing happens even after 2 hours of waiting (laptop updates within seconds from eclipse start) Both computers use same router, same network, same connection type wifi. I disabled all firewalls etc.
Second problem is that I want to use GWT-maven-plugin to start project. Eclipse had no problem in adding the archetype but when I try to actualy set up a maven project with this archetype this error occurs in errorlog:
Error downloading archetype org.codehaus.mojo:gwt-maven-plugin:2.7.0

I already tried cleaning maven cashe, project, temp, setting up STS from the begining I have no Idea why doesn't it work. I use no proxy etc. I've got similar configuration on my laptop and it works perfectly.
Though Maven / Guide to Mirror Settings states:
The official Maven 2 repository is at http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 hosted in the US, or http://uk.maven.org/maven2 hosted in the UK.
it is actually https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/ with a redirection to it. So, avoid the redirection by using the actual URL.

What I schould intstall to Luna Release additionaly? Or may be I have configuration error? This issue is observed on 64 bits platform. RCP application is a DSL implementation based on xtext 2.8.4
Thank you in advance

There is a similar bug report open in the Eclipse bugzilla: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=423923
Comments suggest that
your workspace is trying to load org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.addons.splitteraddon.SplitterAddon. This can happen if
1) you have o.e.ui.workbench from master in your workspace when launching from a 4.3.x target or
2) if you are opening an existing Luna workspace with 4.3.x
I had a similar exception when launching with a workspace that was created by an older version. In my case the workspace was created with 4.4 and the exception occured when launching a 4.5-based application on that workspace.

Unable to preview BIRT report

I'm new to BIRT and I've downloaded Eclipse IDE for Java and Report Developers today.
After following a tutorial and when I'm ready to preview my report, I clicked on "View Report on Web Viewer" and many other options, but it always launch Notepad+ for me.
Is there something wrong with my IDE?
I tried to check if there's any setting to configure the running mode, but I saw this in my project properties:
http://s22.postimg.org/rs01foxzz/rundebug.jpg
Please advise. Thank you for your time.
Noticed that there's some errors in the Error Log, not sure if this is affecting the preview of the reports:

I just downloaded that build, made a report and selected RUN > View Report > In Web Viewer and it opened in Chrome on my Windows 7 machine.
You can select which browser to use for report preview with these steps:
In Window > Preferences > Report Design > Preview verify that Always use external browser is enabled.
In Window > Preferences > General > Web Browser select Use external browser.
In External web browsers, select a browser or create a link to the browser you want to use.
You might also want to try creating a new project if you were using an old project folder since there are some default settings there that might have been set incorrectly.
Please download the file birt-report-designer-all-in-one-4.8.0-20180626-win32.win32.x86_64.zip from https://download.eclipse.org/birt/downloads/build.php?build=R-R1-4.8.0-201806261756
Unpack the zip file
From the folder plugin copy all the org.eclipse.jetty.* files the dropin Eclipse folder.
Restart Eclipse.
It worked for me (Eclipse 2019-09), although I still have some problems in preview

Eclipse is not working after download

I downloaded the eclipse from this site: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ (Eclipse classic 4.2.1)
I extracted the zip folder and ran the exe file -> eclipse (With the symbol of a circle of eclipse)
I get this error message: An error has occurred. see the log file...
I saw the log file is very long and not understood, I did not find the problem.
can anyone help me?
I think that the error that was written in the log file:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench" could not be found in the registry. The applications available are: org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner, org.eclipse.equinox.app.error, org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director, org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector.application, org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.uitestapplication, org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.legacytestapplication, org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.coretestapplication, org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.coretestapplicationnonmain, org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.nonuithreadtestapplication.

You can try launching it as administrator.
or
try from DOS prompt.
or
create the workspace folder in your home directory.
or
finally read log file.

Cannot start Eclipse Juno

I am getting very frustrated with this problem with Eclipse. I have had it many times, and quite frankly I think Eclipse is garbage. But since I do all of my Android development there, there are no other alternative IDE's. Here is my problem: I cannot start Eclipse. I changed absolutely nothing, and all of a sudden the .log file in .metadata throws the following stack trace error:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 4 0 2012-11-16 15:07:22.032
!MESSAGE Application error
!STACK 1
java.lang.NullPointerException

I don't know what to do! I have no .snap file anywhere. What else can I try???
Thank you all for your help,
Igor
I occasionally have this issue as well, and it is indeed frustrating. What fixes it for me is to go into my eclipse workspace: <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins and start deleting stuff. Most of the things in here are auto-generated; settings etc. I think you can keep org.eclipse.core.resources (that's where a lot of your own user settings area).
Unfortunately, this makes the workspace forget what projects you were working on, so you have to re-add them, but for me this isn't a big deal because I store them elsewhere on my filesystem.
Hopefully this helps!
