This error happen cause you deleted the config.ini file while you deleted the plugins. So, when it can not find configuration in config.ini when eclipse lauching, then it use default configuration which is not fit with your os. The following steps solve you problem:

Delete setting in configuration folder.
create a new config.ini file.
copy following setting and save:

osgi.splashPath = platform:/base/plugins/org.eclipse.platform  
osgi.bundles=org.eclipse.equinox.common@2:start, org.eclipse.update.configurator@3:start, org.eclipse.core.runtime@start  
eclipse.product=org.eclipse.sdk.ide  
[email protected]/workspace  
eof=eof

restart eclipse.

If none of the above answers works for you  try the following  Get the  org eclipse equinox simpleconfigurator  and the  org eclipse update  folders found under the  eclipse configuration  from a working Eclipse instance  can be the stock Eclipse downloaded from their website  and replace them in your Eclipse installation directory  This fixed it for me

I have had the same problem  and here s how I solved it  I added the plugin  org eclipse core runtime  in the  plugins  section on the  configuration  tab of the  product editor  I set it s start level to default and auto-start to true  I removed other plugins  My reasoning was this  Eclipse is complaining that the org eclipse core runtime isn t started  so let s make sure that it does start  and that it s the only plugin that s starting   My application ran fine after I did this  I then inspected the config ini to see what changed  and saw that org eclipse core runtime was now changed to org eclipse core runtime start  This is consistent with BalusC s suggestion  I just did it from the  product editor

I tried all the answers above  but none of them worked for me  so I was forced to try something else  I just removed the whole package with settings org eclipse Java and it worked fine  starts again like before and even keeps all settings like color themes and others  Worked like charm  On Linux or Mac go to  home  your user name   var app and run the following command   rm -r org eclipse Java  On Windows just find the same directory and move it to Trash  After this is done  the settings and the errors are deleted  so Eclipse will start and re-create them with the proper settings  When Eclipse starts it will ask for the workspace directory  When specified  everything works like before

Adding to a well-populated page   I had this come up when I tried to move the eclipse installation to a different location on my drive   I tried grepping for the old directory path in the package  thinking perhaps I could fix it with sed  but the path was written in multiple formats and even found in binary files   I gave up  made a fresh install  and re-installed my plugins      Here s a question about moving an eclipse installation  but it didn t give me enough to make it work

The  configuration config ini file should contain org eclipse core runtime start in the commaseparated osgi bundles property  Here is the default osgi bundles property  maybe it was  accidently  changed during some upgrade   osgi bundles org eclipse equinox common 2 start org eclipse update configurator 3 start org eclipse core runtime start   You can if necessary override it by setting it as VM argument in  eclipse ini   -Dosgi bundles org eclipse equinox common 2 start org eclipse update configurator 3 start org eclipse core runtime start

User · Answer

The accepted answer above is correct  except for it s not completely clear   You need to add the following line to the bottom of the eclipse ini file   -Dosgi bundles org eclipse equinox common 2 start org eclipse update configurator 3 start org eclipse core runtime

For me  what eventually did the trick was adding -clean at the start of eclipse ini

Adding my two cents for those searching for  Ensure that the org eclipse core runtime bundle is resolved and started     Adding  arbitrary  bundles to the list of bundles just because it seems that they are missing is not always the best solution  Sometimes it can get quite frustrating  because those new plugins might depend on other missing bundles  which need even more bundles and so on      So  before adding a new dependency to the list of required bundles  make sure you understand why the bundle is needed  the debugger is your friend      This question here doesn t provide enough information to make this a valid answer in all cases  but if you encounter the message that the org eclipse core runtime is missing  try setting the eclipse application launchDefault system property to false  especially if you try to run an application which is not an  eclipse application   but maybe just a headless runtime on top of equinox    This link might come in handy  http   help eclipse org indigo index jsp topic  2Forg eclipse platform doc isv 2Freference 2Fmisc 2Fruntime-options html  look for the eclipse application launchDefault system property
