Can't create Java-Project [message #1442158]

Eclipse User

Hi,

I just downloaded eclipse for my mac but I can't manage to just create a simple new java project.

I tried all kind of different settings, but it just doesn't work.

My OS X: 10.9.5

1.
With just Java from Apple and Eclipse Luna Ecplipse won't start:
An error has occured: See the log file
/Applications/eclipse/configuration/1412962052052.log.

2.
With JDK 7 or JDK 8 and Eclipse Luna or Kepler, nothing happens when I try to create new Java Project.
First when I closed eclipse I would get an error message mentioning
... org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl.getXmlStandalone()Z ...

3.
Then I found those articles
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=432118
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/781657/
and tried to manually delete org.apache.xerces.dom-Files and also Mylyn-Files in the plugin-folder.

After that I won't get the error message whenclosing eclipse anymore but still nothing happens when pressing the button to create a new javaproject.

Creating just a simple project (not java) will work fine.

Could anyone please give me a hint, how I can fix this problem?

Thank you very much in advance!

I tried again, Kepler, JDK 7. May be someone can help when seeing this error log (there was more e.g. some unknown host exception, but I guess that this is the core part of my problem):

Which Eclipse file did you download? Which version of Java is it you're using to launch Eclipse? Stick with one combination until this is solved.

Have you tried not running it from /Applications? Do you have anything resembling another copy of Xerces in /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/lib/ext or /System/Library/Java/Extensions, or referenced in a CLASSPATH environment variable?

Hi! Thanks for your reply!

I downloaded: eclipse-standard-kepler-SR2-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz
Java Version: 1.7.0_67

Now I have also tried running it not from /Applications, instead I tried to run it directly from Downloads. Same behavior.

I hope, I checked the folders and classpath correctly. If so, there are no copies of Xerces. This is how I checked:
To all the following locations I navigated using the Finder and looked for files that had something like "Xerces" in the name:
1. /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Home/lib/ext
2. /System/Library/Java/Extensions

I typed "echo $PATH" in the terminal and got:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/texbin

The last mentioned folder "/usr/texbin" doesn't exist. Besides that I used the Finder again to navigate to all the folders and looked for anything like Xerces:
1. /usr/bin
2. /bin
3. /usr/sbin
4. /sbin
5. /usr/local/bin

I coudn't find a file with the name "Xerces" in it at any of those places. Would it help if i posted the contents of all those folders?

Could it be a problem that the folder /usr/texbin in the classpath doesn't exist?
