I recently installed/updated eclipse environment. When I try to compile the code I'm getting the error as:

Unhandled event loop exception

Can any one help me on this?

Answer 1

Ok please follow the following steps:

• First close your eclipse.
• Go to your Eclipse Folder
• You will find the "Features" & "Plugins" folders in it.
• Open the "Features" folder and search for the "org.eclipse.ui" folder or .jar file. If found then cut it & paste on desktop.
• Open the "Plugins" Folder and search for the "org.eclipse.ui" folder or .jar file. If found then cut it & paste on desktop.

Now start your eclipse & try to compile.

It's possible that while updating it has downloaded the wrong updates.
