I want to use Papyrus RT on Ubuntu for college.
I've installed Java JRE and build-essentials
Downloaded the All-One RCP package.
Unpacked it at my homedrive.
At the first launch, it created the workspace folder and then it stopped with an error to look into the .metadata/.log file

I've attached the logfile.
Does this sound as a known issue?

Hi,

It seems that you have not the good JRE (there is no javax) because I see in your log : Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: javax.annotation.PreDestroy cannot be found by org.eclipse.e4.core.di_1.6.100.v20170421-1418

Another post have dicussed baout this problem: https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1090046/ may be it can help you.
Best Regard,
Patrick

Hi

The instability of Java is causing considerable trouble for Eclipse.

Java 9 introduced modules and so broke the simple classpath concept so that some packages are not found by legacy code. The referenced message demonstrates the bad things that happen when you use Java 9+ on a version of Eclipse that lacks the relevant adaptations.

The location of javax.annotation seems to change in Java 10 and be removed in Java 11 again causing breakages that are currently the topic of https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=539038 for Eclipse 2018-12.

Eclipse 2018-09 has a last minute workaround to avoid a Tycho breakage: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=538564

"eclipse.buildId=unknown" suggests that you are using a development version of Eclipse that might not have the Bug 538564 fix.

If you have a reproducible problem on an official release, please raise/contribute to a Bugzilla.

If you really want to use Java 9+ make sure you use the latest Eclipse. Much the simplest solution is to use Java 8.

Regards

Ed Willink
