eclipse still doesn't start on Ubuntu 18.04 all patches applied.

Is this going to be fixed at all?

[Kevin Matthews]

Hi Michael,

Where do you see that Eclipse 4.8 is the default on Ubuntu-Software?

As far as I can tell, Eclipse 3.8.1 is the default for Ubuntu Bionic (18.04 
LTS).
See here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/eclipse

I didn't notice an entry for Eclipse in bionic-updates, either:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/allpackages

I have had success installing Eclipse manually, but I think the issue is
that the package manager installs software that doesn't run.

Thanks for your help.

[Michael Gorriz]

I guess you guys need explicitly Eclipse 3.8 . Just go to Ubuntu-
Software, deinstall 3.8 and install Eclipse 4.8 (Photon) which is the
default package on the Ubuntu-Software.

[Makis Livadas via ubuntu-bugs]

On Raspberry-Pi and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS no simple work around for me here.
Only work around on Pi is to use the Rasbian interface. So this should
be a critical bug for 18.04 LTS.

Silly me! There is a simple work around:

Download Eclipse Installer on https://eclipse.org/downloads and install it as 
non root.

[Jef]

Sorry to be another metoo, but the purpose of 18.04.1 LTS is to ensure this 
does not happen. The problem has been found in march, we are in august.
I use my computer for java development using eclipse. This issue is not even 
mentioned on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BionicBeaver/ReleaseNotes.

I understand that bugs hapen and may be hard to fix, but I can not
understand the communication around this issue. Maybe it is a bit
myopic, but why did 18.04.1 went out before fixing (or at least having a
work around for) this issue.

I don't understand how things as critical as this are not being fixed
immediately?  Netbeans also fails to start.  This is a java problem in
both cases.

[Bug 1754886] Re: Eclipse fails to start on fresh 18.04 installation

[gimfoxhound]

Let's summarize the situation!
Yesterday I was happy to pass from Kubuntu 14.04 -where everything were fine- 
to Kubuntu 18.04. Today I tried to simply access to another windows desktop. 
Impossible! Because of 'too much security'! I set up MySQL workbench with MySQL 
server, with the Workbench client I tried to access to mysql server -port 3306- 
 impossible yet!
I tried to set up Amule, just for the fun, KAD is blocked! 
I tried to set up and launch Netbeans, bad idea! It did not work! Netbeans 
failed to launch. After I set up Eclipse, and I tried to launch Eclipse I 
retrieved this kind of  beautiful message 'An Error has occured! etc...' 
the same message shown above. I foresaw to install Weblogic and Websphere, but 
...it seems to be a bad idea, regarding my "Hot" experience since yesterday! 
What the hell did U do ? Is Kubuntu 18.04 be an O/S ?
Why didn't you warn us that Kubuntu 18.04 is only made for connecting funny 
smartphones, and tablets with Desktops ? But mostly not for other things!

I left the world of Microsoft since 2006. I don't want to be back! Since 2008 I 
only know the world of  Ubuntu/Kubuntu. Yes indeed, in the past there were some 
bugs. It is normal! But at this scale I could never imagine! It seems to be and 
indictment!
What should I do now ?

[Bug 1754886] Re: Eclipse fails to start on fresh 18.04 installation

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Based on duplicate bug 1777421 it seems the underlying cause might be
that the package org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor is not installed into
/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/.

[Bug 1754886] Re: Eclipse fails to start on fresh 18.04 installation

[vital]

Have the same problem.
Seems root cause is a broken dependcy:

eclipse-platform version is 3.8.1-11 it depends on eclipse-rcp version
3.8.1-11 which in turn depends on libequinox-osgi-java (>= 3.9.1).

But eclipse-platform-data expects libequinox-osgi-java version 3.8.1-11:

$ apt-cache --recurse  depends eclipse-platform | less

  Depends: eclipse-rcp
eclipse-rcp

Thanks for taking your time to report this issue and help making Ubuntu
better.

I can confirm this issue, eclipse 3.8.1-11 fails to start when I attempt
to run it on Ubuntu bionic. Based on the error message, I found a
corresponding bug report in Debian, so I have attached a bug watch.

Btw, when reporting bugs in the future please use apport by using
'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. This adds version
numbers and additional information automatically, making it easier to
process bug reports. You can learn more about this functionality at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
