eclipse stopped working correctly all of the sudden

Hi!

Since a couple of hours ago I've been facing problems with eclipse and can't really figured them out. I even deleted the old eclipse I was working with (including workspace) and recreated it from its tgz. I still see the same problems.

When I go into the eclipse preferences frame I can see different errors in different parts of the settings.

When trying to see Java->Debug:

Code:

Unable to create the selected preference page



An error occurred while automatically activating

bundle org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui (146).

If I click on "Show error log", I see a empty "Error Log" frame.

If I go into Java->Installed JREs, I see the exact same type of message. Why is it happening? What can I do to get some verbose output from eclipse to see what's going on?

I'm working on eclipse 4.2.0 on kubuntu 12.04 i386 (updated as of this afternoon).

Code:

$ which java

/usr/bin/java

$ java -version

java version "1.6.0_24"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.11.4) (6b24-1.11.4-1ubuntu0.12.04.1)

OpenJDK Server VM (build 20.0-b12, mixed mode)

Greetings,

I have a question with regards to this: Can you try to run it against an (oracle/sun)-jdk and see if it still behaves erratically? I was checking the Gentoo bugzilla, I am seeing a number of issues with 4.2.0 and all of them that I have seen so far have been using OpenJDK. I'm just trying to cut down the possible sources of the issues.

HTH. Let us know.

Sounds like a simple test. Setting JAVA_HOME would suffice?

Code:

$ export JAVA_HOME=~/Descargas/java/jdk1.5.0_22/

$ ~/Descargas/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse

Same thing.

How can I get debugging output from eclipse? I checked and --debug does nothing. I read somewhere that adding -Xdebug to eclipse.ini would do... but I saw nothing coming out of it. What are other possibilities?

I created another user and started eclipse from it.... it was the same problem.... it's starting to point to a software upgrade on ubuntu that broke this thing.

-debug (single -) showed up some output.... however, nothing when the error shows up.

Code:

$ ~/Descargas/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse -debug

All of that when eclipse was starting up..... nothing else till I closed it.

Ok... found something else here: http://help.eclipse.org/juno/topic/o...62%75%67%22%20

Let's see where this takes me to.

Ok.... thanks to the output from it and to the link I'll post later, I was able to solve this by adding this to eclipse.ini:

Code:

-Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU

Link where I got the tip from? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1...timezone-issue
