Xtend IDE 2.21 editor doesn't open and can't build workspace [message #1856369]

I'm trying to setup the IDE for a legacy project that I have to maintain but I can't get the Xtend IDE 2.21 plugin to work correctly in Eclipse 2018-12. The Xtend editor doesn't open and I encounter errors when building the workspace. Unfortunately I don't really have the option to use any other versions of Eclipse or Xtend due to certain important plugins that are incompatible with later versions.

I've reproduced the issue on different machines with these steps:

1. Install Eclipse 2018-12 (Eclipse for Committers, JDK 8) using the Eclipse Installer
2. Add Updatesite http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/
3. Install 'Xtend IDE' version 2.21, restart Eclipse
4. Create a new Xtend project with an Xtend class (e.g. the Xtend Introductory Example)

When opening any .xtend files, it doesn't open the file in the Xtend editor but in the simple text editor and asks me to search for marketplace for extensions.

When building the project I get a popup dialog with following message:

> 'Building Workspace' encountered a problem.
> Errors occurred during the build.
> Error instantiating builder 'org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.xtextBuilder'.
> Plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared was unable to load class org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.internal.ExecutableExtensionFactory.
> org/eclipse/xtext/ui/guice/AbstractGuiceAwareExecutableExtensionFactory
> Plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared was unable to load class org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.internal.ExecutableExtensionFactory.
> org/eclipse/xtext/ui/guice/AbstractGuiceAwareExecutableExtensionFactory

My colleagues told me that this combination of Eclipse+Xtend versions used to work without problems. I've also tried with JDK 11 as well as with Eclipse 2018-12 for DSL developers, which has Xtend 2.16 preinstalled. The default installation works as expected but after upgrading to 2.21 I get the same errors.

The error message lead me to https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/1073549/ and https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-eclipse/issues/12 but it seems both cases are about launching products. In my case the issue occurs in my dev environment so the suggestion to change the order in the launch configuration doesn't work for me. I've tried to change the startup order in the bundles.info file but that didn't work.

Any ideas what I can do about this?

you need to provide a complete stacktrace for

Plug-in org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared was unable to load class org.eclipse.xtext.ui.shared.internal.ExecutableExtensionFactory.
> org/eclipse/xtext/ui/guice/AbstractGuiceAwareExecutableExtensionFactory

you can also check the osgi state of the different xtext bundles
using the "host osgi console"

ss xtext

and then

start <number>

for xtext stuff that is not active

Here's the osgi status. (Sorry I should have checked that before. I took a break from developing with Eclipse and OSGi and didn't remember about the console)

So nothing is active. I'm wondering here about the different Xtext 2.21 and Xbase 2.29 versions. Don't they need to match?
Also according to the Xtend release notes, Xtend 2.21 uses MWE(2) 2.11.2/1.5.2 but it seems I'm running later versions.

Starting the org.eclipse.xtext bundle gives me:

So org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core and org.eclipse.emf.mwe2.runtime require Java 11? I guess I need to downgrade to stay on Java 8.

Yes latest greates mwe needs java 11. So there is a guava version problem took you should pick the mwe version that matches Xtext 2.21 .(2.11.2/1.5.2)
And not the latest greatest

You should not use the composite update site but the dedicated for Xtext, Xpand and mwe

Thanks for the help! With the correct MWE versions the Xtend IDE plugin works fine now.

I had used the composite updatesite because that was linked at https://www.eclipse.org/xtend/download.html but I didn't realize that it might not work for older releases.

Using that one is only suitable when you use newest releases or use a target platform where you specify matching versions explicitly
