Description Mike Wacker CLA 2011-05-17 01:24:32 EDT
Build Identifier: M20100211-1343

This has happened several times to me, now, and the results are quite catastrophic. When I open Eclipse, every window I had previously opened since I last exited displays errors, and Eclipse is basically unusuable. Trivial things like changing the focus to a different window triggers more errors, and I'm even unable to exit Eclipse normally as that too generates an error.

The PHP explorer window gives me this error:
Could not create the view: Plug-in org.eclipse.php.ui was unable to load class

A window with PHP source code open gives me this error:
Could not open the editor: The editor class could not be instantiated. This usually indicates a missing no-arg constructor or that the editor's class name was mistyped in plugin.xml.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure how I get into this bad state, but when I do, it repros every time I launch Eclipse.

hi Mike,
I saw :
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/php/internal/ui/editor/PHPStructuredEditor

I think you would better reinstall pdt.Thanks

Unfortunately, I've hit this issue several times over the course of my usage of PDT. I've completely nuked everything before to fix it, but I'm starting to get tired of hitting this issue and having to go through this process again.

FYI, this repro'd for me again today out of nowhere. Also, when I tried to uninstall PDT to fix it, true to form, I hit an error when I hit Yes to restart Eclipse, and had to use the System Monitor to kill the process.

Working correctly with recent version on all platforms. Marking as fixed.

Too old indeed. Closing
