Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface" when using Checkstyle Plugin

Question

Hi guys,

I am trying to use the eclipse-cs plugin on Rational Software Architect 7.0.0.4.

I recently uninstalled the older beta2 version and installed beta3. The plug-in itself works as was previously configured. But whenever I attempt to re-configure the check rules via Windows->Preferences->Checkstyle, I get the following error:

Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.jface".

This occurs when I click the configure button and attempt to reconfigure a specific selected check rule on the UI.

Has anyone ever encountered this issue before and how can it be fixed?

The full error listing and stack trace is shown below:

Answer 1

My simple guess would be that the version of Eclipse that RSA 7.0 is based on is missing some methods that your version of check style is wanting. RSA 7.5 uses Eclipse 3.4, and I've been very happy with it.

Answer 2

I am facing the same issue

Answer 3

Maybe raising this issue at the eclipse-cs project directly is more helpful than discussing it here.

Answer 4

Try so start Eclipse from the console/terminal with the -clean option.

Windows: Eclipse.exe -clean

UNIX: ./eclipse -clean

This will clear your plug-ins cache, maybe it solves the issue.

Answer 5

Thanks MAINERROR! My problem is solved!
