Plug-Ins do not start [message #655920] Wed, 23 February 2011 10:30 Go to next message

Hello,
on my Gentoo Linux Box I use an eclipse 3.6.1 ebuild to build eclipse from scratch. I installed some plugins with "Install new Software..." (Subclipse, XText, ...).
Eclipse uses the directory 
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.6.1_272132065


Today I rebuild the complete eclipse-sdk. Now, the previously installed, Plug-Ins don't load anymore. The weird thing is, that the Update Manager lists the Plug-Ins as installed, so I am not able to reinstall the stuff. Of course I could wipe out the complete folder, but I would like to keep it...

I tried to start eclipse with the -initialize and -clean flags, but that did not help. Can anybody help me with that problem?

I could fix the issue by myself.


  1. Exit Eclipse-IDE
  2. In the folder : 
    ~/.eclipse
    I renamed 
    org.eclipse.platform_3.6.1_272132065
    to 
    org.eclipse.platform_3.6.1_272132065_bak

  3. Start Eclipse-IDE to generate a new 
    org.eclipse.platform_3.6.1_272132065
    folder
  4. Exit Eclipse-IDE
  5. Move the folders 
    ..._bak/features
    and 
    ..._bak/plugins
    to the newly created folder
  6. Start Eclipse-IDE (Plug-Ins get loaded again)

Of course, using this approach some settings (Workspace-Locations, Update-Sites,..) are lost. But I did not have to reinstall all my Plug-Ins...
