Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Intalling with java 6 cannot recover
I think -clean is a placebo. It's our go to answer, but does it actually do anything any more? It certainly never fixes anything any more.

Sadly I did launch with –clean and it didn’t help.

 

Since it should be fixed in M7, we’ll try to reproduce on another machine to make sure it is not my environment.

This sounds like https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=432485

But that should have been fixed in M7.  I am curious if launching with -clean fixes the issue.  I would start with a bug against Equinox Framework if it is what I suspect (somehow the framework is not forcing a refresh of the system bundle to update its capabilities to include the Java 7 execution environment).

Hi,

I'm testing installing CDT on RC3.  CDT requires Java 7.
My system switched to java 6 under my feet, so I ended up installing CDT using java 6.
The install worked but when running, most CDT plugins didn't start and I got some errors due to java 6.
I then switched back to java 7 and ran the already installed version.
Surprisingly, things still failed but no errors reported.

So, it looks like installing plugins that require a newer java than what is running is non-recoverable.

Is this a bug I should report? If so, to what component?

Thanks

Marc
