Eclipse wont start

Hey!

After installing eclipse with discover on a newly set up and updated Rolling 2016.01, i get only a little error message telling me
“An error has occurred. See the log file …”

The log file contains the following message:

Reinstalling eclipse doesn’t help.

Does anyone know the solution to get eclipse up and running?

Bye!

Which eclipse package do you have installed?
You can only have one:
eclipse-cpp
eclipse-ecj
eclipse-java
eclipse-php

Select the one that closely reflects your most needed language, then install the rest that you need through the Eclipse Marketplace or internal plugin manager.

Reference: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/eclipse

Thanks for the hint. Discover installed the following package:
eclipse-common

I think you still would need one of the other ones to get started.
I don’t use eclipse, so I’m not 100% sure.

Best solution is to install eclipse from the download from the Eclipse website.
