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

Question

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

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

On Windows:

Eclipse.exe -clean

On *nix:

./eclipse -clean

or if Eclipse is in your PATH

eclipse -clean

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