Eclipse plugins [message #1844108]

When we bootstrap our application, we pull down a development environment. Eclipse lives inside this environment, as well as a number of plugins (Tomcat, Checkstyle, Eclemma, etc.). The binaries for these plugins are stored on our network and are pulled down into the eclipse-extensions folder. We do this so that developers don't have to pull them down from the Marketplace every time they set up a new environment.

The version of Eclipse we're using is 2020-06, the OS is BigSur, and the version of Java is 1.8.

When I launch eclipse, all bar one of the plugins is available. I've gone around in circles trying to determine why the other plugins are not viewable.

Any pointers welcome!

Could it require Java 11? The Platform has for nearly a year, so more and more plug-ins are requiring it in their newer versions.

Thanks for the quick reply. As I said above, we're using 2020-06 which is Eclipse 4.16. This page (https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse/Installation) would suggest that Java 1.8 is the minimum version required. The plugins we're using would not be any more recent than the Eclipse version itself. Hope this makes sense.

I have my JAVA_HOME pointed to 1.8 before launching Eclipse. Does Eclipse even look at the JAVA_HOME variable? Also, just wondering if there are any other variables that need to be set when launching Eclipse.
