Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 While updating a Helios distribution to the Service Release 1, the update requests to restart the workspace. After that, the application wont launch anymore. It doesn't launch when you double click Eclipse.app either. The reason is that the file Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse is missing the executable flag. After you assign the flag using chmod +x eclipse the .app launches again. I could this reproduce with my Java, J2EE and RCP distrib. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Helios Release 2. Update to Helios Service 1 using the Help->Check for Updates 3. Let the update manager restart the application 4. .app doesn't launch anymore
Are you running 32 or 64 bit? I just tried the Java EPP for Helios and it successfully updated and the eclipse exe had the correct executable flag set after update.

I just tried the Java EPP 64-bit, it works for me.
That's strange, Thomas. I checked it three more times: 1. I downloaded eclipse-java-helios-macosx-cocoa-x86_64.tar.gz (Build id: 20100617-1415) 2. I unpacked and launched by double clicking Eclipse.app 3. Help -> Check for Updates ... 4. ...next ... next ... accept ... Finish ... Restart? yes 5. Doesn't launch anymore System is a MacMini 2GHz, OS X 10.6.4, German. java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02-279-10M3065) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 16.3-b01-279, mixed mode)
I'm going to move to p2 for comment. If anything touches the permissions of file on update it would be p2. I have basically the same environment except I am still running the older Leopard MaxOS 10.5.8.
Additional info. I took a look into the Konsole application and found the following which occured during the update: 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/public/technology/epp/epp_build/36/eclipse.S-3.6RC4-201006031500/artifacts.xml (No such file or directory) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at java.io.FileOutputStream.open(Native Method) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:179) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at java.io.FileOutputStream.<init>(FileOutputStream.java:131) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepository.save(SimpleArtifactRepository.java:951) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepository.save(SimpleArtifactRepository.java:932) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepository.<init>(SimpleArtifactRepository.java:322) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.simple.SimpleArtifactRepositoryFactory.create(SimpleArtifactRepositoryFactory.java:129) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepositoryManager.factoryCreate(ArtifactRepositoryManager.java:60) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.repository.helpers.AbstractRepositoryManager.doCreateRepository(AbstractRepositoryManager.java:284) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.artifact.repository.ArtifactRepositoryManager.createRepository(ArtifactRepositoryManager.java:48) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.Util.getBundlePoolRepository(Util.java:87) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.touchpoint.eclipse.EclipseMarkSetProvider.getMarkSets(EclipseMarkSetProvider.java:41) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.garbagecollector.GarbageCollector$ParameterizedSafeRunnable.run(GarbageCollector.java:69) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.core.runtime.SafeRunner.run(SafeRunner.java:42) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.garbagecollector.GarbageCollector.contributeMarkSets(GarbageCollector.java:97) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.garbagecollector.GarbageCollector.traverseRegisteredProfiles(GarbageCollector.java:225) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.garbagecollector.GarbageCollector.runGC(GarbageCollector.java:163) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.garbagecollector.GarbageCollector.notify(GarbageCollector.java:148) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.core.ProvisioningEventBus.dispatchEvent(ProvisioningEventBus.java:108) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.EventManager.dispatchEvent(EventManager.java:227) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.eventmgr.ListenerQueue.dispatchEventSynchronous(ListenerQueue.java:149) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.core.ProvisioningEventBus.publishEvent(ProvisioningEventBus.java:85) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.Engine.perform(Engine.java:94) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.Engine.perform(Engine.java:44) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations.ProvisioningSession.performProvisioningPlan(ProvisioningSession.java:174) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations.ProfileModificationJob.runModal(ProfileModificationJob.java:79) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.operations.ProvisioningJob.run(ProvisioningJob.java:177) 21.10.10 07:42:18 [0x0-0x259259].org.eclipse.eclipse[15956] at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54)
Hi I just had about the same problem. I was testing, if I'm able to update my demo(really small) eclipse product(containing RCP, PDE). It was no problem with the x86 32bit version. But with the x86_64 bit version, the exe (e.g. eclipse.exe) file was missing after updating my product. Regards, Alain.
I think i found the reason which has absolutly nothing to do with Eclipse: I had an environment.plist file in the .MacOS directory which overrode the PATH variable, but missed some directories that are usually set, e.g. /usr/sbin (contains chown) and /bin (contains rm and chmod). After adding those directories to the PATH in the environment.plist the update succeeds. Sorry for the false alarm, i'm closing the ticket.
