Eclipse Keeps Crashing

If Eclipse keeps crashing on start, try removing the ~/.eclipse folder and restart Eclipse. It’s not necessary to remove the workspace folder.

If it’s still not working, try removing all Java packages (including JDK) then reinstall Eclipse.

Missing JRE System Library

The following error message may appear after upgrading Java:

The container 'JRE System Library [...]' references non existing library '...'

To fix the problem, try restarting Eclipse.

If the problem persists, try the following steps:

  • Right-click on the project and open Properties.

  • Select Java Build Path → Libraries.

  • Select JRE System Library.

  • Click Remove.

  • Click Add Library…​.

  • Select JRE System Library.

  • Select Workspace default JRE.

  • Click Finish.

  • Click Apply and Close.
