Upgrade Eclipse from 2021-12 (4.22) to 2022-03 (4.23) failed [message #1850890]

After checking for updates in Eclipse 2021-12 the new version 2022-03 was offered for installation, so I gave it a try.

However, after the upgrade finished without any errors, the new version doesn't start.

The log file /my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/1647524672922.log shows that some required jars are missing, for example:

/my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/358/data/431355561/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.common_3.16.0.v20220211-2322.jar
/my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/358/data/431355561/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi_3.17.200.v20220215-2237.jar
/my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/358/data/431355561/plugins/org.eclipse.osgi.compatibility.state_1.2.600.v20220207-1403.jar
/my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/358/data/431355561/plugins/org.eclipse.e4.tools.emf.ui_4.7.200.v20220114-0046.jar
/my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/358/data/431355561/plugins/org.eclipse.e4.ui.workbench.swt_0.16.400.v20220222-1128.jar

...and many more.

I can confirm that these files are nowhere on my hard disk.

What might have gone wrong?

I use Ubuntu 20.04.4 LTS and Adoptium JDK 11.

All previous platform upgrades since 2020-03 succeeded without a problem, if you don't count that stale folders like jee-2020-03 remain and that 2021-12 was installed in jee-2021-06.

I had backed up the eclipse folder before trying the upgrade, so I managed to revert to 2021-12.

Now 2022-03 is marked as installed somewhere, so it isn't offered for installation any more.

What can I do to retry the upgrade and how can I avoid the errors?

I don't want to do a fresh installation because I don't want to reinstall all my plugins and redo all my configurations.

The actual plugins will be installed to /my-eclipse-folder/jee-2021-06/eclipse/plugins/, or perhaps in the bundle pool if you installed with the installer. The folder configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/ is some kind of managed cache. The configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info should indicate where the bundles are actually physically located.

I'd first try starting with -clean so that a full new bundle table is built from scratch. You might try -debug as well, for more details information about what is going on during startup. Also try with -data <fresh-new-workspace> to be sure it's not dying because of some problem opening the existing workspace.

You mean, run

eclipse -clean

?

When I do (with or without any command line options), the process immediately dies with this error:

I assume the installation was in the middle of something critical when it failed, so now even the basic runtime classes can't be found.

I'd better try to start the upgrade entirely new, but I don't know how to convince eclipse that the upgrade is there to be installed. I assume I'd have to poke around in .p2 but maybe I sohuldn't.

This looks similar to Bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579338

Would you be able to confirm that your problem is similar (have a look at the config.ini file) and comment in the bug? Would you be able to provide additional data so the root cause can be tracked down?

I am not sure, but it is likely the same problem.

When I compare my config.ini (attached) with that of bug 579338, they look pretty much the same.
The osgi_bundles reference has one more '../', probably because my eclipse installation directory is one level deeper than theirs.

osgi.bundles=reference\:file\:../../../../../../../../../.p2/pool/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator_1.4.0.v20210315-2228.jar@1\:start

Effectively, osgi_bundles points from ~/eclipse/jee-2021-06/eclipse/configuration to 5 directory levels above where .p2 is actually located (~/).

The file org.eclipse.osgi_3.17.200... referenced as osgi.framework.extensions in config.ini is nowhere on my file system, only older versions 3.17.0... and 3.17.100...

However, I didn't notice any message about a missing certificate during installation.

I'll try to come up with more information soon. I have kept all files from the failed upgrade (I guess).

Is there anything specific that I should look for?

I guess the certificate error is not related.

What we would be looking for is why the new bundles are not downloaded, or not moved to the correct location. The insertion of the relative path seems related. For now we are completely in the dark of what happened and without a reproduction scenario nothing can be fixed. Please add any additional information to the Bug report.
