Description Ben Aveling

The source forge eclipse plugin no longer starts.

I tend to get a whole stream of entries in the error log, mostly:

Plug-in net.sourceforge.eclipseccase was unable to load class
net.sourceforge.eclipseccase.ClearcaseProvider.

Plus some others as well.

Someone's started a thread at
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1262631&forum_id=167189

If there's something simple that needs to be done in the packaging, can it be
posted to sourceforge?

Thanks, Ben

moving to core runtime

No changes in M6 should break existing plug-ins, if they followed Eclipse API
rules. Could you provide the log for a session where the problem happens? Note
that in most cases, problems running with 3rd-party plug-ins should be reported
against the plug-in provider, not Eclipse.

Closing.  This is likely a problem in the third party plugin.  Please reopen if
there is evidence of a bug in Eclipse itself.
