java.lang.LinkageError：读取类字节时出错：org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.application.ui.menu.impl.MenuImpl

Question

I was working in Eclipse and my computer suddenly crashed. I rebooted my computer and tried to open Eclipse again but I get now the following error when I try to open Eclipse: "Unable to open Eclipse, see log file C:..."

The log file gives me this info:

How can I solve this (if possible without removing and reinstalling Eclipse)?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

It looks like at least one of the Eclipse plugin jars has been damaged ( org.eclipse.e4.ui.model.workbench_1.2.0.v20160229-1459.jar to be specific).

Since you don't know what else has been damaged reinstalling Eclipse is the safest option.
