Answer 1

The key message is

Require-Capability: osgi.ee; filter:="(&(osgi.ee=JavaSE)(version=11))"

This is saying that Eclipse must be run using Java 11 or later.

• ghostrider: Ok thanks and where do I specify the version? in eclipse.ini in the -vm section?
• greg-449: Yes, the -vm in the eclipse.ini. Most of the current Eclipse downloads include a Java 15 built in.
• David M. Karr: Wouldn't this have failed well before this point? It sounds like this person was able to start up Eclipse, and then attempt to install a plugin. They shouldn't have been able to do that if they were not running it with Java 11.
• greg-449: @DavidM.Karr It is the plug-in they installed that needs Java 11, different plug-ins can require different levels of Java. You can install plug-ins that need a newer version of Java than the one you are running, but they will give this error when they are started.
• greg-449: @DavidM.Karr You might be thinking of the -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=11 entry in the eclipse.ini which lets the startup code do a quick check on the Java version
