See "Unable to locate secure storage module (org.eclipse.equinox.security.windowspasswordprovider)" on 64-bit RTC eclipse client (256878).
A summary of the problem is that Eclipse uses a default location on your machine that is the same for all your Eclipse installs. So if you have installed and used 32-bit Eclipse, then your secure storage requires the 32-bit plugins to access. When you try to use a 64-bit Eclipse, it will try to read that secure storage and will fail because it is using the 64-bit plugins to read the storage. The solution is to tell your Eclipse to use a different secure storage area. You can do this by running Eclipse with the following option: -eclipse.keyring <file_path> where <file_path> is the location of the file which you wish to use as your new secure storage area. |
