Error when installing plugin in Eclipse

Question

When I try to install a plugin in Eclipse I get these error messages

Registry event dispatcher

Error notifying registry change listener.
Error notifying registry change listener.
Invalid registry object
Error notifying registry change listener.
Invalid registry object
Error notifying registry change listener.
Invalid registry object
Error notifying registry change listener.
Invalid registry object
Error notifying registry change listener.
Invalid registry object

Has someone an idea what the cause of this problem could be? Thanks

Edit:

I see the Eclipse .log file has also a lot of new stack traces

The first one is

Edit2:

When I restart Eclipse I get a "install connectors" window, but when I select a connector and click on "Finish" nothing happens and there appears an "Unhandled event loop exception" in the Eclipse log

Edit3:

I tried Subclipse instead of Subversive but that gives these errors

Is there a possibility that the installed Eclipse version conflicts with another installed Eclipse version or with Zend Studio?

Answer 1

It's problem with x64 Java.

With x64 java you need to use JavaHL with x64 support

This is official FAQ http://subclipse.tigris.org/wiki/JavaHL#head-0ae839721445e3f59d10a128ec9439d4f4988d5f

I have same installation and it works after steps from FAQ

Edit: You may also need to edit your PATH variable (in Windows at least) to include the bin folder from the SlikSVN install that is recommended in the subclipse FAQ listed above.

Answer 2

If you are installing Subclipse plugin for SVN in eclipse on windows7 64 bit. Make sure you do not install JavaHL as part of the plugin install options. You need to separately install SilkSVN install outside the eclipse. Steps are here, First install SilkSVN, than install Subclipse plugin install withouth JavaHL plugin checked.
