eclipse error while click on any project - eclipse

Question

When I am using eclipse then it will pop up error like this (I am using kubuntu OS)
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.resources.VirtualComponent.clearCache()V
at org.eclipse.jst.j2ee.componentcore.J2EEModuleVirtualComponent.clearCache(J2EEModuleVirtualComponent.java:469)
What would be the proper course of action to avoid that error message?

Answer 1

This programmer blog post simply reports:
Problem:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
org.eclipse.wst.common.componentcore.internal.resources.VirtualComponent.clearCache()V
Solution:
run the eclipse updates - get the latest version and everything should work fine.
That means it would help to know what exact version of:
eclipse
WST
JDK
you are running to see if an upgrade could help or not.
