3.5.2-2ubuntu3 version breaks p2 update, plugins

[Adrian Wilkins]

Binary package hint: eclipse

1) Ubuntu Lucid up to date as of 2010-04-20 0830

2) eclipse-3.5.2-2ubuntu3 + it's associated package constellation, + java-6-openjdk (no Oracle JVM on the machine).

After upgrading to 3.5.2-2ubuntu3 the following error occurs, various plugins (like Mylyn) no longer work, the software update has reverted to the "old" style, which also no longer works (producing errors as in #530414).

3.5.2-2ubuntu2 seemed to be working ok .. the changelog says you just added a hook for apport which doesn't seem like it should have caused this.

i can confirm this exception,

Using Sun's 'Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02)'

[Jean-Philippe LECHÊNE (jphlechene)]

Hello,

 Same situation here : the JBoss Tools AS plugins does not work anymore with this version. (using OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

[Nick Maynard (nick-maynard)]

Also seeing this, using IBM SDK 6.0.
Downgrading to 3.5.2-2ubuntu2 doesn't appear to work, but of course it's possible I've got that process wrong.

Please fix this ASAP - I can't do any work!

[Nick Maynard (nick-maynard)]

Assigning this to Benjamin as he checked in the new package version.

[Adrian Wilkins (adrian-wilkins)]

Happily the eclipse.org distribution unpacked to your home folder seems to work well, so I can at least work. The GTK bugs that plagued the previous version seem to have been corrected either in Eclipse or in Lucid.

Mildly annoying that I had to reinstall my plugins, but never mind.

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

I unassign me. The change from 3.5.2-2ubuntu2 to 3.5.2-2ubuntu3 (the added apport hook) shouldn't cause this bug. It's probably caused by something else.

I do not experience your problems. Can you rename/remove ~/.eclipse (this will remove all your plugins) and install the plugins step by step. Does this lead to this error message again?

[Clemens Hupka (clemens)]

Same problem here. Removing ~/.eclipse didn't help. Will try to purge the whole Eclipse-installation tomorrow... Would be awful to have an LTS without Eclipse...

[Clemens Hupka (clemens)]

Seems to be a duplicate of Bug #566131

[Nick Maynard (nick-maynard)]

Not sure of the duplicate status - that bug mentions that Eclipse still works regardless of the error. Whereas the submitters here seem to have a non-functioning Eclipse.

Does anyone know if the previous version, 3.5.2_2ubuntu2, still works? If it does, the problem isn't environmental and I wonder if backing out 3.5.2_2ubuntu3 might be the quickest fix before LTS release. I can't seem to get hold of 3.5.2_2ubuntu2 any more.

Personally I now have a version of 3.5.2 downloaded from eclipse.org and running - have given up on the Ubuntu package until ths bug is fixed.
