Public bug reported: After installing Eclipse (), trying to start yields a popup with the following message (example) : [beginning of message] An error has occurred. See the log file /home/arnaud/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1543766365512.log [end of message]
Each trial actually yields a different log file (with a different number in its name), but always with the same content, except for dates and hours in both first line which look like launch and error times respectively to me : [beginning of file] !SESSION Sun Dec 02 16:59:25 CET 2018 ------------------------------------------ !ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.launcher 4 0 2018-12-02 16:59:25.532 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter at java.base/java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:466) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:566) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:499) 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) [end of file] Installed JDK and JRE are default-jdk and defaut -jre respectively (currently openjdk-11-jdk and openjdk-11-jre, both for amd64), which satisfy the package depedencies. It seems the Ubuntu Eclipse package is not configured according to the installed JDK/JRE packages, not even the default one it depends on. Its installation procedure doesn't seem to try to configure Eclipse accordingly.
