Installing AJDT I got a Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEditor

Question

After I install the AJDT 2.2.3 on Rational Software Archtect, every Editor displays the error: Plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.ui was unable to load class org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.javaeditor.CompilationUnitEditor I am using the Rational Software Architect 9 with Eclipse 4.2.2. Used the link (http://download.eclipse.org/tools/ajdt/42/update) to install the AJDT. Searching on the web I found this:http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/74968/), but removing the Data Tools did not work for me. I also updated the Data Tools to 1.10.2, and yet not working.

Can anybody help me?

Adding more info: I was searching for the installed JRE in preferences, but when I click Preferences -> Java I got an error: "An error has occurred when creating this preference page." And when I try the "Installed JRE's I got a popup: "Unable to create the selected preference page. An error occurred while automatically activating bundle org.eclipse.jdt.debug.ui(1537)" Another thing I am not sure if it is clear. The Editors I was mentioning were the Java File Editor, The Package Explorer, the Java View. I tryed to open an .xml file and it seems to work fine.

Here is a picture of the Eclipse error tab: dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/71227599/ajdt.PNG

Here is the details stack :

Answer 1

Another fix for this problem (as I have seen myself) can be to delete the following file and restart eclipse:

.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core/variablesAndContainers.dat

This path start in the %workspace% directory.

Answer 2

I had the same problem when installing AJDT on Rational Software Architect 9. I also tried to remove the Data Tools but this did not worked.

I fixed this by following the instructions provided here for the same problem on RAD: https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/community/forums/html/topic?id=77777777-0000-0000-0000-000014816025

In resume:

1. From a command line, issuing the command to destroy the shared cache as follows, while RSA is NOT running:

   "C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP\jdk\bin\java.exe" -Xshareclasses:destroyAll

2. Restart RSA
