Eclipse 2020-06 - Decoration Calculation has encountered a problem [message #1828841]

I am using a completely new installation of Eclipse 2020-06. I installed the plug-ins for Subclipse, JBoss Tools, and Spring Tools 4.

I created a new directory, checked out the source code, and imported as existing Maven project. I have gotten many errors, with the most common being attributable to:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.core.internal.content.Activator.getFactory()Ljavax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory;

I am using JBoss' OpenJDK 1.8.0_252.

With Eclipse 2020-03, I was not seeing these errors. I have attached the Eclipse .log file. I have checked for, and installed, all available Eclipse updates.

Sounds like it something was relying on internal API and didn't test with 2020-06: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/FUSETOOLS-3343.

Your log also says "java.vendor=Oracle Corporation" and "java.version=1.8.0_201", so while unrelated, it's something you should get cleared up.

Thanks. I updated the eclipse.ini to point tot the correct JDK. While it still says "Oracle Corpoation", the version number is now the same as the OpenJDK I have installed.

I deleted the Eclipse .log file and then launched Eclipse again. There are a lot more errors in the log file than last time. I still get the error in Eclipse IDE but I am able to dismiss it without further errors. I have attached the new .log file, if that helps anyone.

After trying to actually _use_ Eclipse, I have discovered many things just do not work. They are come from the java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.core.internal.content.Activator.getFactory()Ljavax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory.

I am going back to Eclipse 2020-03.

I moved back to Eclipse 2020-03, ran "Check for Updates" and installed whatever updates were available. When restarting Eclipse the same issue with "org.eclipse.core.internal.content.Activator.getFactory()Ljavax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory;" came back.

I installed a clean copy of Eclipse 2020-03, installed the plug-ins and imported my project. Everything ran fine. When I ran the "Check for Updates" again and restarted, again the error returned.

I can confidently state that the issue is neither with Eclipse 2020-03 or 2020-06. I grabbed a screenshot of the updates that were to be applied to Eclipse 2020-03 in the hopes are helping someone here figure out which plug-in or update is causing this issue. See attached pic.

Nitin -

I have figured out the problem, and it has nothing to do with Fuse!

Extracting a refresh copy of Eclipse 2020-03 comes with org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.7.600.v20200127-1609.jar file.

Running "Check for Updates" on that version will download org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.7.700v20200517-1644.jar file.

Using FernFlower to decompile the Activator class clearly shows that SaxParserFactory was removed from the later version. I have attached the two decompiled source files.

Many other things are depending on this class to provide the Sax factory. I get errors from many other plug-ins (Maven, JBoss, SVN) referring to this same class file missing expected methods.

This issue is completely within the Eclipse code itself. Eclipse 2020-06 comes with the newer org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.7.700v20200517-1644.jar file, which is why it does not work on that version of Eclipse.

I pulled Activator.class out of the org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.7.600.v20200127-1609.jar library and placed it in the org.eclipse.core.contenttype_3.7.700v20200517-1644.jar library. I have the impression that this error has disappeared.

I pointed to Fuse because your log contained:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.core.internal.content.Activator.getFactory()Ljavax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory;
at org.fusesource.ide.foundation.core.xml.namespace.FindNamespaceHandlerSupport.parseContents(FindNamespaceHandlerSupport.java:67)
at org.fusesource.ide.foundation.core.xml.namespace.NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.fillContentProperties(NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.java:106)
at org.fusesource.ide.foundation.core.xml.namespace.NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.checkCriteria(NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.java:45)
at org.fusesource.ide.foundation.core.xml.namespace.NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.describe(NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.java:77)
at org.fusesource.ide.foundation.core.xml.namespace.NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.describe(NamespaceXmlContentDescriberSupport.java:64)

...which shows Fuse code accessing a method on a class that is not public API. Internal classes are free to change however they like. It appears properly fixed through FUSETOOLS-3318, the compile-time version of the problem.

That same root cause *java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.eclipse.core.internal.content.Activator.getFactory()Ljavax/xml/parsers/SAXParserFactory;" is happening on more classes than just Fuse. I can get an error in Eclipse doing a number of things, none of them related to Fuse. For example, I tried to build with Maven and got the error. I try to run a server and get the error. The stacktrace always contains the same reference to the missing getFactory() method. The log file I sent just happened to be caused by the Decorator, which lead to Fuse.

The workaround in the message from Павло is not viable for an organization to do, and would be overwritten anytime there is a future update. I have spent way too much time on the error already. My solution is using Eclipse 2020-03 and NEVER update it. Hopefully, someone somewhere will finally figure this out and fix things.

Is there a fix for this yet? I'm still snagging on this error and thinking of rolling back to the previous version.

It needs to be fixed by the clients that are using internal classes that are not API. Surely this was never the best nor proper way to get a SAX factory when javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newInstance() will do the trick properly...

Hopefully you're opening bug reports for those other stack traces on their components.
