Eclipse Indigo crashes on startup after Google plugin and GWT installation - eclipse

I am running on a Mac OS X 10.5.8.
I made an earlier post about GPE/GWT not working for Eclipse 4.2. So I tried with Eclipse 3.7.2 instead. This time, I installed GPE 3.7 and GWT 2.4 plugins. Again, the installation was successful and it asked me to restart Eclipse SDK when it was finished.
After selecting my workspace and it starts up, it would crash shortly afterwards with a pop-up error. The error messages say "Error notifying registry change listener \
Invalid registry object". The workbench would close immediately after the pop-up error.
I can restore the workbench to a working state if I remove the Google plugin from the plugins folder.
I tried different Eclipse Indigo packages, the S2 Eclipse IDE for Java Developers and the Java EE, both encountered the exact same scenario after I installed GPE 3.7 and GWT 2.4 plugins.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Eclipse error log view missing

I installed eclipse oxygen (4.7.0) "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers".
After installation I mentioned that "error log" view is not available any more.
I restarted eclipse multiple times and used also other workspaces.
How can I get back the error log view?
Did you try resetting whichever perspective you are using ?
(Window -> Reset perspective...)
I have found a solution: Just install Eclipse SDK by
Help->Install New Software...
After this is done restart eclipse and you got back the error log view.
The Error Log View is missing on a default installation of the Eclipse Platform Runtime. I assume this was missing from the "Eclipse IDE for Java Developers" package for Eclipse Oxygen either (I didn't test myself).
For sure, I'm experiencing this problem in 2018-09 and 2018-12 if I install the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary (the bare-minimum Eclipse runtime I know of).
I opened bug 543120 for this.
I don't have tested the hexadez suggested workaround, because having to install the whole Eclipse SDK just to have this view is too much for me.
Another workaround I found is to install the bundle "Mylyn Context Connector: Eclipse IDE" from the 2018-09 or 2018-12 update sites: it's a much smaller compromise.

GWT Designer for eclipse not working

I have recently installed Eclipse Luna and the gwt-eclipse plugin.
I have created Project with the default GWT Aplication generated by the wizard, which I have called "pru".
I can compile and run the Project correctly.
But if I try to use the Design View to modify the interface controls, opening the Pru.java file (with Open With/GWT Designer) I get an error.
It tries to parse the file and then throws an error:
Internal Error
encountered unexpected internal error.
This could be caused by a bug or by a misconfiguration issue, conflict, partial update, etc.
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: com.google.gwt.dev.cfg.ModuleDefLoader.loadFromClassPath(Lcom/google/gwt/core/ext/TreeLogger;Ljava/lang/String;Z)Lcom/google/gwt/dev/cfg/ModuleDef;
I am running in a Surface Pro 3 with Windows 8.1 x64
I have installed Eclipse Luna under c:\Program Files
I have installed Apache Ant 1.9.4 and Java JDK SE 1.8.0_25-b18 64 bits version (I have tried with 32 bit version too, and with jdk 1.7)
I have configuered the PATH, ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME variables to point to the correct installed directories.
I have used the "install new software" option in eclipse to install the gwt plugins.
I have installed following packages from https://dl.google.com/eclipse/plugin/4.4:
Google Plugin for Eclipse
GWT Designer for GPE
SDKS (GWT SDK 2.6.0 and Google App Engine Java SDK 1.9.17)
Do you have any idea of what's going on?
Thank you for your help.

Unable to install cobetura plugin in eclipse

I'm trying to install Cobertura plugin (http://ecobertura.johoop.de/update/) on Helios version of my eclipse but getting this exception "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException", It says unable to read repository at http://ecobertura.johoop.de/update/
I'm not on proxy server.
Seems it had stopped development.
I can't install it in Eclipse 3.5 or 4.3 too.
You can use EclEmma, it's easy to use.
Eclipse Helios version is 3.6.x and eCobertura Web site states that eclipse update site works for Eclipse 3.5+. I can confirm it really is working for Eclipse Helios. If you can download update site meta information through browser, but eclipse still cannot see it, it could be a proxy problem or something else that prevents eclipse to access content of update site.

WSO2 Developer Studio 2.1.0 (previously Carbon Studio) plug-in causes Eclipse load to hang

I am trying to install the new WSO2 Developer Studio 2.1.0 into Eclipse. It appeared to install successfully, but when I try to start Eclipse it hangs forever (e.g. > 30 minutes) with the message “Loading Workbench”. On one attempt (after leaving it for maybe 45 minutes), it actually got as far as bringing up the Eclipse main window, but it hung there with the message “Marketplace DND Initialization”. The Eclipse process is steadily using about 25% of my CPU.
There is an error in my Eclipse workspace/.metadata/.log file:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui.navigator 4 0 2012-10-17 11:20:18.303
!MESSAGE An extension already exists with id "org.eclipse.ui.navigator.resourceContent".
This appears about 20 times per attempt to load Eclipse, all in the first few seconds after initiating the load.
I followed the WSO2 Developer Studio installation guide (http://dist.wso2.org/products/developer-studio/2.1.0/docs/install_guide.html). I was unclear about the prerequisites. It says “Eclipse WTP 3.1.0 or higher”, but that appears to be from old Eclipse versions (Galileo), so I didn’t worry about it. My Eclipse About screen says WTP 1.0. The other prerequisite was for Carbon Server. I am already running latest BPS server (beta), which includes Carbon, so I didn’t worry about it. Just to be sure, I later installed the latest stand-alone “Carbon Server”, but that didn’t help any.
I also tried increasing memory settings in eclipse.ini by 50% (to XXMaxPermSize: 384, -Xmx768m) from the default. No help.
Here is my system:
MS-Windows 7 Enterprise on a 64-bit laptop
Java 1.6
Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers, Indigo 3.7, 32-bit. Version 1.4.0.20110615-0550
(relevant) Eclipse features:
WTP Version: 1.0.0.v201104180000-797B1CcNBHGC_DRAwXT3B
Subclipse 1.6.x
Aptana Studio 3.0.4 MS Windows x86 “Eclipse plug-in version”. Version: 3.0.4.201108101432-7E37B7HFEHCdSHSV5R_IyJetqA_B
CollabNet Merge Client 2.2.4
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi I faced the same problem especially with nested WSO2 projects / multi module Maven projects. A little change on my Eclipse Project Explorer Settings solved the problem for me.
What I have done:
Open View Customization menu on Eclipse Project Exlporer (the triangle in menu bar of the view)
Clicked "Customize View..."
Unchecked "Hide WSO2 Registry Resource Conflict Items" and "Hide nested projects"
Apply by clicking "OK"
As a result all nested folders will be shown in a flat layout (as usual from m2e-Integration for multimodule Maven projects) but the IDE is now faster and less cpu consuming and doesn't freeze on save anymore.
My Environement looks like:
OS: Windows 7 64bit
Eclipse Indigo Service Release 2 (Build: 20120216-1857)
Eclipse WTP 3.40
Java JDK 1.6.0_31 (32-bit)
WSO2 Developer Studio 2.1.0
M2E-Integration 1.2.0.20120903-1050
M2E-WTP 0.17.0.20121108-1856
Hope it helps
Edit: Sorry I forgot to mention that I had to go through the steps from Harshana first after a fresh installation of WSO2 Developer Studio 2.1.0. My JVM is parameterized with -Xms512m
-Xmx1384m.
Can you try to clean your System Temp folder before starting the Eclipse instance and see whether there is an improvement?
And please use a fresh Eclipse workspace after installing Developer Studio.
We have seen this behavior couple of times in the past and above 2 procedures and increased memory helped to resolve the issue.
Hope this helps!
Thanks and Regards,
Harshana
Developer studio 3.5 beta 2 is released. It improved with lot of bug fixes.

Update eclipse from galileo to helios on kubuntu

I installed eclipse galileo from kubuntu package manager. For some reason, there is no helios available yet. Then I tried to manually install helios, but when I run it, I get message: "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion shared library."
Then I opened galileo, and installed PDT from helio update site. But due to some galileo - helios incompatability, I get error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/wst/css/ui/internal/contentassist/CSSStructuredContentAssistProcessor
when I try to open PHP file.
I read on http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_update_Eclipse%3F that I can update to helios if I add helios update site in Window > Preferences > Install/Update > Available Software Sites, which I tried, but when i run "check for updates" it says that there is nothing to update.
Any idea how to get helios PDT installed on kubuntu?
I would recommend that you download the Eclipse IDE for PHP Developers package from here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
Make sure that you get one that's correct for your OS and pay particular attention to 32/64 bit variation. You have to match 32/64 bitness of Eclipse with 32/64 bitness of your JVM. Run "java -version" to see the type of JVM that you have. If you don't match these up, Eclipse will not start with a message like the one you are seeing.
For anyone having problems with eclipse Helios on Kubuntu or Ubuntu, I would suggest you remove your current installation and follow the instructions I just posted on my blog after finally getting 3.6.2 working with both the Marketplace Client and Subclipse. I just tried posting the whole entry here but it wouldn't allow the number of hyperlinks required to get the install working.
