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).

Subject:        [cross-project-issues-dev] Intalling with java 6 cannot recover
Sent by:        cross-project-issues-dev-boun...@eclipse.org



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
