Cannot start eclipse after having Aptana installed - eclipse

I recently installed the Aptana plugin into my eclipse IDE and restarted it. Now it doesnt start at all.
I tried deleting the metadata folder and it made it start but crash soon after.
However before crashing there was a message that my version of Aptana is incompatible with firefox (its funny what does firefox has to do with it?).
Anyway after the crash I had three .txt files in my eclipse folder saying that
A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment
Please help me start eclipse.
Possible duplicate:
Aptana plugin crashes Eclipse
But this question isnt properly answered.

I would suggest starting with aptana to begin with if you want to use aptana. However, if that isn't an option and you simply want to remove it from eclipse, you can try this:
Note: This is only how I would attempt it. I haven't tried this.
First, close eclipse and backup your eclipse folder. Next, go through the features and plugins folders and remove all files and folders that reference "aptana".

Eclipse Java IDE restore

I was developing a plugin, using Eclipse IDE for java developers (Version: 2021-09 (4.21.0)
Build id: 20210910-1417)
During development, when I run it as an eclipse application, it opens a runtime-Eclipse application where the plug-in is present. In my setup this new runtime-eclips app opened from a folder next to the workspace, where C codes were present. (and my progrem would get the tests run in C , and get the results from it's exe)
Then I downloaded the Eclipse IDE for committers, which is a newer version. I downloaded it as a zip and after unpacking I run the eclipse.exe. My program had problems opening the runtime-Eclipse application in C there, so i went back to the older one which is installed on my computer.
After opening the original eclipse, on which I was working and had no problems, I was hoping everything will be fine. It opens the IDE for java developers (same version, same build) but I have the same problems with the runtime-eclipse application as the one I run as an eclipse.exe , (not recognising the C code?? I don't understand).
When i try to run the plug-in I get this error.
And when the runtime-app opens i get this error.
I cannot create C projects anymore on the runtime-app. I don't know the reason behind this.
Also I have billion of these
["java.net.UnknownHostException: downdload.eclipse.ort"]
[" org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: Unknown Host: http://downdload.eclipse.ort/eclipse/updates/4.2/content.xml "]
Thank you in advance!
I don't know if it is possible or not, since seemingly it did not update the older eclipse IDE. If it can be restored the way it was before i run the eclipse.exe, I would be happy.
eclipse.ort is obviously a typo, it should be eclipse.org, I don't know where it is coming from - but its possible you enter it yourself as update site
the runtime error means eclipse cannot resolve all dependencies, which means it could not load bunch of plugins including yours, you need to figure out why on your own, its not possible to debug this remotely, its best to start from the scratch in the new workspace
The solution was easier than expected. The run configuration was modified by the other eclipse version. It was not launched with every plugin. only a selected handful

Eclipse doesn't save the previous settings like workspace & Plug-ins

I am using Eclipse Neon on my MacBook & every time I start Eclipse it prompts me for my workspace again and again even though I set it as my default one.
Same goes for the plug-ins I have installed , I need to install eclipse decompiler every time I load eclipse.
I get an error like : "This wizard helps you to import and reinstall previously installed plug-ins. It is triggered because
either you are launching eclipse for the first time or your Eclipse has been updated."
Can someone please assist me with this issue ?
I had the same problem after updating my Mac to Sierra: Eclipse would not remember the default workspace. After moving Eclipse into the Application folder, the problem disappeared.
The issue seems to come from a Mac OSX Sierra feature called 'path randomization' (see eclipse bug 507328). The actual solution to avoid the path randomization seems to be for eclipse to provide signed .dmg images (bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=461670).
Two workarounds that I can suggest are:
Start from the eclipse oomph installer when installing eclipse (see https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=1754574#msg_1754574)
Start the actual eclipse executable file instead of opening the .App container

Error Viewing HTML5 code in Eclipse Neon with subclipse and Aptana plugins

I've done a fresh install of Eclipse Neon, then installed subclipse, (successfully) imported a project from SVN, then installed the Aptana plugin (purely to have integrated sftp support). (These are all the very latest versions). When I attempt to open an html file, it fails to open and I get blank tabs where the filename would normally occur within eclipse. I've uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times with the same effect. There seems to be no updates or anything addressing this. I get various errors ranging from Null Pointer exceptions to Wordwrap errors. I've used the error reporting feature to report this bug to eclipse. This can be viewed here:

Installed a plugin on eclipse (mars), now eclipse won't start. How can I uninstall the plugin?

I installed a plugin for viewing json files, its the "json tool" by sweetlemonade.
Anyway, after installing it I tried to view a json file (very large file) which I thought the plugin might be able to handle. Well, eclipse crashed when I did this. Now I can't get eclipse to start again. It fails when it gets to "loading org.sweetlemonade.eclipse.json"
I've searched for other answers on here but the accepted answers include using "p2 director" to uninstall the plugin via command line. The only problem is the answer is for an old version of eclipse. I'm using eclipse mars and can't find an install for "p2 director" anywhere.
How can I uninstall this plugin manually and get eclipse to run again? I want to solve this without having to reinstall and lose my project setups.
Okay so I managed to solve this by navigating to
configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
and deleted the line responsible for the plugin:
org.sweetlemonade.eclipse.json,1.1.0,../../../.p2/pool/plugins/org.sweetlemonade.eclipse.json_1.1.0.jar,4,false
Then I ran eclipse again and it opened just fine. I saw the tab where eclipse previously tried to open the large JSON file was still open except now it has an "x" with the message that the json tool plugin couldn't be found. Since the issue was probably occurring because eclipse kept trying to restore that tab every time I opened it, I closed the tab then closed eclipse and re-added the line I deleted to the bundles.info file. Lastly, I reopened eclipse and uninstalled the plugin the proper way (since the plugin wouldn't be of any use to me).
It sounds to me like Eclipse autosaved your workspace with that file open; the autosave happens every 5 minutes by default. Rename that autosave file, found in _workspace_/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi, and relaunch.
You can then use the Help → About → Installation Details to uninstall the JSON editor if you so choose.

I cannot install eclipse jaxb builder plugin

I am currently working with a product that is built onto Eclipse version 3.4.2.
I am trying to install the jaxb builder plugin, but it is not working.
So far I have tried:
Unzipping the folder into the Eclipse plugins folder and then restarting Eclipse
The restarting Eclipse using the -clean flag
Unzipping the folder into the product's (built onto Eclipse) plugin folder and then restarting with and without -clean
Unzipping the folder into the dropins folder and then restarting Eclipse
I think that it may be possible that this version of jaxb builder doesn't support my version of Eclipse, but I can't figure out how to find that information. I tried emailing the address on the "Contact Us" page, but it came right back to me.
Is it possible that the product has been discontinued? How can I find out?
Discontinued? I don't know but the last build is from 2011-05. It's built against Eclipse 3.4 (see plugin.xml). What do you mean be "not working"? Exceptions? Entries in Eclipse error log/view?
Turns out it was the application's fault. I'm not exactly sure what the problem was, but when I did the exact same thing in a regular Eclipse environment, it came up with no issues.
I will edit if I get more information.
