I just downloaded Eclipse today on OSX Mavericks, though I believe this machine has had it before and it was removed.
Every time I try to go File > New > Java Project (or through the toolbar), an error occurs, and nothing really happens.
I have tried rebooting, and removing/reinstalling Eclipse, no luck.

Any ideas?

Here it is:

eclipse.buildId=4.3.2.M20140221-1700
java.version=1.7.0_60
java.vendor=Oracle Corporation
BootLoader constants: OS=macosx, ARCH=x86_64, WS=cocoa, NL=en_US
Framework arguments: -product org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product -keyring /Users/rdeon/.eclipse_keyring -showlocation
Command-line arguments: -os macosx -ws cocoa -arch x86_64 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.standard.product -keyring /Users/rdeon/.eclipse_keyring -showlocation

Wow, looks like a broken JRE: DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() returns an instance that does not have an implementation for setFeature(), declared in the abstract class DocumentBuilderFactory. Shouldn't be possible...

See http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.debug.git/tree/org.eclipse.jdt.launching/launching/org/eclipse/jdt/internal/launching/PListParser.java#n100

Can you try a different JRE?

Ok, I actually found the problem. Mostly my own inexperience is the issue.
The problem was that I had a different Xerces Jar in my classpath, and it wasn't the version that Eclipse expected, and it was getting picked up when I clicked this button I guess.

It was for something unrelated, I had been using jar files packaged with a project, and in the course of troubleshooting some classpath issues I just dumped them all in the main classpath folder.

So there it is, if you come across something like this, check your classpath for "xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar", and remove it. That did it for me.

Thanks anyway, Stephan
