Eclipse error after installing any new plugins [message #1726863]

Hopefully someone can help.

I have the problem with all 3 Eclipse versions I tried so far, Mars1, Mars2 and Neon and on 3 different laptops (3 laptops are same specs: Alienware M18xR2, Win7Pro64, 32GB ddr4, dual sli nVidia 4GB, 512GB SSD primary drives and 1TB secondary drives). Installed JDK 64, JRE 64 and Eclipse 64 (all three Eclipse versions above give me the same problem). Then run the Ooomph install, do an update first. Everything runs fine. It updates and installs latest version. I select the first option Eclipse for Java Developper, it installs correctly and configures correctly. Start Eclipse, everything runs fine. Everything is functional to this point.

Then I open the "Install New Software" to add some addons/plugins from the repositories. Look through the repositories and select what I need. The first few times I selected everything I required (BIRT, Database etc...). Downloaded and installed and restarted. Error See Logfile xxxxxxxxxx.log. Deleted everything and reinstalled. Selected only a few addons/plugins, same thing. Deleted and reinstalled everything again, selected only one addon/plugin, same thing. Error see log file. I don't get an error code that I can see, just error dialog box pointing to the .log file.

I attached the last error log, can't see what I'm missing. Thanks for any help

Edit to add: I've also tried the 32 bit versions (JDK, JRE, Eclipse) as well with same results, and gone through the "install, delete, clean and reinstall" process over 30 times so far before posting this note

Hi Chris,

I've tried it on my Win7 box but cannot reproduce your problem. What is the add-on feature you're trying to install and
from where are you installing it?

Cheers

thanks for the reply Eike, Let me redo the whole thing again and grab screen captures of the whole process and repost. Might take a while and a few posts to get the whole picture of what I'm talking about. Cheers

ok, first off I'm an Eclipse newbie. I'm trying to migrate the company from the VisualStudio tantacles. Now I redid everything exactly as i did 30 times before. The only different result I haven't seen before is the error message. All the previous ones gave me a path to error log with a xxxxxx.log. Now I get what's in the screenshots .jpg attached as well as the new .log file also attached.

see attached jpeg with numbered screenshots, sorry if it's a bit messy.

1. Opened Installer, ran the updates, everything was fine
2. Opened the settings, installed the latest updates, restarted the installer as asked
3. After restarting, I clicked the first option, Eclipse IDE for Java Developper.
4. Dialog of available JVMs, selected JRE 8.14 x64 (tried JDK 8.14 as well, not working)
5. Installed with success and restarted
6. first dialog after starting Eclipse to set the workspace path. Eclipse starts and runs fine.
7. Help>Install New Software... dialog opens
8. Installs the new plugins, in this case I only selected the Business intelligence one, accept the license agreement, it downloads and installs.
9. It asks to restart. Click yes. Everything doing great so far...
10. Then Poof! Error dialog < Error> see log file

Like I said, 3 different laptops, no lack of hardware capacity, same thing. I also included the eclipse.ini file, not sure if that would help

Thanks

I see one suspicious thing in your screen shots: you're using the Eclipse installation folder (shown in step 3) as the workspace location (step 6). I'm not sure if that's supposed to be supported or not, but it's definitely not something I'd try.
In case you didn't realize, Eclipse uses the concept of workspaces, which are logical containers for projects and separate from the Eclipse installation itself. A user can (typically does) have multiple workspaces that can be opened by an installation of Eclipse. By overlaying them together you might be causing some file system conflicts that result in the bizarre errors you're getting.

For reference, here's how I typically organize my Java and Eclipse installations and workspaces:

/java
    jdk/
        1.7/
        1.8/
    Eclipse/
        Luna/
            eclipse.exe
            ...other eclipse-installation folders and files...
        Mars/
             eclipse.exe
            ...other eclipse-installation folders and files...
       workspaces/
            workspace1-whatever/
            workspace2-something-else/
            ...other workspaces...
