Eclipse unable to resolve plugin org.eclipse.wst.server.ui

Question

I tried using Eclipse after not using it for some time and I get this error:

    !MESSAGE Unable to resolve plug-in "platform:/plugin/org.eclipse.wst.server.ui/icons/cview16/servers_view.gif".

The .log includes quite a few similar messages. I have checked the plugins folder and it seems all of the files in it are missing. I have been unable to find these files anywhere, even on a fresh installation.

I've looked all over Google and StackOverflow and I still have no answer, especially when the last time I started up Eclipse, I did not have this error and I have never touched this folder in the past.

More of the error log is here http://pastebin.com/kiejQThE

Answer 1

I was having a very similar problem. In my case, Java was displaying an error about a different .gif file in wst.

I tried greg-449's advice (greg-449 Feb 25 '14 at 8:16) of installing org.eclipse.wst .

That solved the problem of the missing .gif file.
