Re: [m2e-users] M2e disappearing?

["Manfred Moser" <manfred@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks to some troubleshooting help from Matthew Piggott I got this fixed. 

We enabled console output with -concolelog as part of the eclipse startup and found that I was starting eclipse with Java 7.

Since M2e needs Java 8 it did not start... so we configured a java8 vm in the eclipse ini file and all is good again.

Sure would be nice if the Eclipse IDE would report such startup issues in some more common place or something.
