Keybinding conflicts involving jface plug-in [message #1828892]

I have just moved most of my projects to a new version of Eclipse (Version: 2020-06 (4.16.0) ), starting with an empty workspace/.metadata file. After transferring a few projects, I am seeing "Keybinding conflicts occurred", and the plugin involved is shown as org.eclipse.jface . I didn't ask for this plugin - but some of my projects use other suppliers' jar files - could one of them be pulling it in? And (whether or not this is true) what can I do about it?

TIA

JFace logs the issues, but it doesn't cause them. Any plugin can register a key binding and if more registers for the same key combination (and context), then JFace will log about it because of course only one of them can actually work. Perhaps if you shared the actual logged messages it will be more clear what is contributing the conflicting registrations.

Hi Ed, Thanks for getting back to me! I am appending my current problem log...

IIUC JFace is connected with SVT - if I don't use SVT in my app, should it still show in my problem log?

Thanks in advance,

Paul M.

So it looks like org.eclipse.jdt.ui.navigate.open.type and org.eclipse.lsp4e.symbolinworkspace both register CTRL+SHIFT+T. JDT has always used CTRL+SHIFT+T so I'm not sure what the "lsp4e" folks were thinking to use that as well... Of course the general problem is that depending on what combination of things are installed one can't know what might have been used already by something else. These two things are both on the release train though, so they might have noticed if they'd installed both JDT and lspe together...

You ask about your app, but isn't this log from the running IDE? The IDE itself of course uses JFace .

I have just downloaded the same Eclipse version as Paul's and started with a brand new workspace. No projects, nothing at all. The log goes just like his:

I have already tried to unbind one of those keys. That didn't go well and the binding is lost.

So... should this be reported as a bug? Is there any way for me to make a pull request or contribute in some way to solve this?

As Ed pointed out, this isn't a new problem. I'd be tempted to report it against both as their keybindings are "in Windows" and not limited to their editors, views, and perspectives. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=135572#c3 indicates that JDT can disable theirs on certain perspectives, but the default perspective of the Enterprise Java package, the Java EE perspectives, would really be expected to have the Java keybindings work.

Many thanks, all of you!

Ed, I guess I had never seen IDE-related (?) messages before in my problem log, so I was just assuming that this message had to do with my application settings! Nice to know that, this time, it wasn't my fault!

All the best, and stay safe, everyone!

Paul
