After I had Eclipse update itself (from 2020-12 to 2021-06) I can now not open the eGit "Repositories View" any longer. :-(
Since access to Git is a requirement I now need to retrograde. Terrific!

The upgrade itself went smoothly, i.e. no error message or warnings or anything suspicious...

Any idea anyone, what could cause this? Any fix/workaround?

This is the error I am getting:

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in "org.eclipse.egit.ui" was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.egit.ui.internal.repository.RepositoriesView".

Hi

I suspect that there i a more revealing problem further down the stack trace.

My best guess is that there is a Java version incompatibility. Were you using Java >= 11 before you upgraded? How do you specify your Java version? Perhaps a manual Eclipse.ini edit got reverted.

Regards

Ed Willink

Hi Ed
yes, I was apparently using Java 14 (the one that had come with the eclipse installation).

I compared the eclipse.ini of my last backup with the broken installation and interestingly they are absolute identical.
The VM plugin directory (first two lines) exists in both.

-vm
plugins/org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.win32.x86_64_14.0.2.v20200815-0932/jre/bin
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.6.0.v20200915-1508.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.2.0.v20200915-1442
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
-showsplash
org.eclipse.epp.package.common
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.appendVmargs
-vmargs
-Xverify:none
-Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU
-javaagent:U:\eclipse\eclipse-jee\lombok.jar
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=11
-Dosgi.instance.area.default=@user.home/eclipse-workspace
-Dsun.java.command=Eclipse
-XX:+UseG1GC
-XX:+UseStringDeduplication
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=11
-Dosgi.dataAreaRequiresExplicitInit=true
-Xms512m
-Xmx5120m
--add-modules=ALL-SYSTEM
-Dsun.lang.ClassLoader.allowArraySyntax=true

and in fact the content of ...\plugins\org.eclipse.justj.openjdk.hotspot.jre.full.win32.x86_64_14.0.2.v20200815-0932 is bitwise identical (checked with a compare tool).

I have kept the broken version and restored my working copy, so if anyone needs info or diffs of the two I can provide that.

BTW: small correction of my initial append: I upgraded from 2021-03 (not 2020-12) to 2021-06.

Hi

Ok, sorry, you've exhausted my simplistic helpfulness. I do recall discussion of upgrade problems on cross-project-dev, but did not pay much attention since in 15 years I have never upgraded an Eclipse installation. It's one of those areas where I am encouraged in my current practices by problems that do not affect me.

Ouch! Do I read your comment as suggesting that you upgraded from a built-in Java 14 to another built-in Java 14? Built-in Java is very new technology for Eclipse. I can see an opportunity for filesystem/registry confusion.

Perhaps a better informed committer may pick up the thread.

Regards

Ed Willink

In case anybody else is stumbling over this thread: My old, restored version v21-03 at some point decided to upgrade itself to v21-09 (instead of v21-06 as before), only this time eGit kept working after the upgrade. No more missing classes!
So - issue apparently resolved with v21-09!
