What does "Could not initialize class com.ibm.icu.impl.JavaTimeZone" mean?

Question

"An error has occurred. See error log for more details. Could not initialize class com.ibm.icu.impl.JavaTimeZone"

Answer 1

Have look at: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=600288. This workaround solved the issue for me.

Specifically, add -Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU to eclipse.ini (or in my case it was eclipse-php.ini).

Thanks due to to "Luca" / Luca Tettamanti for posting that.
