Solution is to upgrade SonarLint for Eclipse plugin to 7.2.1

References in SonarSouce community:

• Error message Unable to load plugin bundleentry at opening a file in eclipse
• SonarLint for Eclipse 7.2.0.42510 fails

If your Eclipse installation path contains some space (ex: C:\Program files\ ), the solution is to downgrade SonarLint for Eclipse plugin to 7.1 or upgrade to 7.3 :

• Unable to load plugin …/sonar-secrets-plugin-1.1.0.36766.jar when Eclipse is installed in a directory with a whitespace
• SLE-501
