Package: eclipse Version: 3.8.1-11 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? 1. `sudo apt install eclipse` 2. Launch Eclipse from the menu or from commandline. 3. I get 'An error has occurred.' There is a log generated: !SESSION Wed Apr 22 16:16:35 PDT 2020 ------------------------------------------ !ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2020-04-22 16:16:35.306 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:382) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:424) at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:357) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.invokeFramework(Main.java:626) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:584) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:1438) at org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:1414) * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? After Googling this error, it was suggested to explictly specify Java8 in eclipse.ini. * What was the outcome of this action? The problem is still the same. Additional Googling suggests this package is 1) very outdated, and 2) hopelessly broken. Eclipse Founation itself does not provide this for the armv7l architecture. * What outcome did you expect instead? A package provided in repos should work. It should probably be removed from the repos to save other users the frustration. -- System Information: Distributor ID: Raspbian Description: Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) Release: 10 Codename: buster Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 4.19.97-v7+ (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages eclipse depends on: ii eclipse-jdt 3.8.1-11 ii eclipse-pde 3.8.1-11 eclipse recommends no packages. eclipse suggests no packages.
