After I do Extension Workshop 1.3 Setup the Eclipse Workspace for Server SDK Development, eclipse will get an error if I restart it.  This happens right after I change the Target Platform to the installed RTC-SDK-Server.  I do not get an error when I do this, but if I exit out of eclipse and then try to open the workspace again, I get the following error in he Plug-ins View "Plug-in 'org.eclipse.pde.ui' was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.views.plugins,PluginsView".  Then I can no longer look at my source code and cannot create new plugins.  It also gives an error 'An internal error occurred during: "Initializing Java Tooling".
java.lang.NullPointerException'.   

This only happens after I change the target platform to the rtc-sdk-server download.

Full Error:
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Plug-in "org.eclipse.pde.ui" was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.pde.internal.ui.views.plugins.PluginsView".

Never seen that. You do not provide any info about versions, RTC, Eclipse,....

I have tried in Eclipse Mars and Oxygen. They both run into the same problem.

 I am using RTC 6.0.5
I am using a Linux machine Red Hat 6

How about following the workshop and use a vanilla RTC plain zip client for a start?

I can’t get the workshop setup tool to. Work on red hat. Might have to recompile/rebuild on Linux. It would be possible to import the project source code just as eclipse projects into the eclipse workspace.

I am currently waiting for approval to get the most recent eclipse version and hopefully that will solve the error.

Also, I just got the WorkshopSetup.sh to work. I used the following:


$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp $PLAIN_JAVA/:./ com.ibm.js.rtcext.serversetup.ServerSetup $REPOSITORY $USERID $PASSWORD $* 
Everything has to be exactly that, make sure no spaces are out of place.

I tried all permutations, including yours, I reviewed with peers. No luck. 


I will fix the base script to what you show above, even if it does not work on my Red Hat VM for some reason, but I have wasted too much time with this. The error messages are pointless. I searched the usual sites. I have the choice of two symptooms that do not help. I give up. The workshop is developed and tested on Windows. Unix support is best effort.
