Hi,

Please help to resolve this issue.

That looks like quite an old installation and it is running on Java 14. But the latest version needs Java 17. You'd probably be best to install a new version.

Thanks for the advice.

The error itself really does suggest that some bundle with corrupt metadata in the MANIFEST has been installed. I would create a new installation rather than try to fight this battle.

A quick google search suggests this happens far too often.

It has happened to me in two days and required a new install each time. There are other ide's out there that don't crash every day....

It worked for a day and next day, kapput.

As a new user, you have lost me. Life is to short to fight with software and have people tell me I need to troubleshoot it...

A quick Google search isn't going to find postings from people like me for whom this doesn't happen, but your choices are your own. If you do want to troubleshoot,
please do append some of the error messages that are showing up in the log files, or try a prepackaged download, and only a download, from
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages .
