Application "org.eclim.application" could not be found in the registry

[robin92]

I've successfully compiled eclim with the following command:

ant \
-Declipse.home=/usr/lib/eclipse \
-Declipse.local=$HOME/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.5.0_155965261_linux_gtk_x86_64/ \
-Dvim.files=$HOME/.vim/bundle/vim-eclim

However launching eclimd is not possible

$ ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.5.0_155965261_linux_gtk_x86_64/eclimd

It looks like module org.eclim.application is not found. I don't use eclipse at all thus I am unable to fix this issue by myself. Any ideas?

[kminh]

I'm having this issue as well, right after updating to Eclipse 4.5.1. My log is a little shorter:

Perhaps reverting to eclipse 4.5.0 for now?

[toddwildey]

I cannot install eclim using Eclipse 4.5.1.

[vii]

the local install on eclipse 4.5.0 does not work for me with the same error

[mooreniemi]

On OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 with same error.

[sudeepdino008]

anything?

[emmanueltouzery]

If that can help, I had this issue on fedora linux with the eclipse that comes from the fedora repo. I installed eclipse from a .tar.gz from eclipse.org (not the installer but the extractable archive) and it worked the first time (after wiping my ~/.eclipse).

[isheff]

Similar error on Ubuntu 18.04. I have been able to run eclimd in the past, but suddenly, I get this error.
