[SOLVED] Yum update breaks eclipse-cdt

[weitjong]

After performing yum update today, it breaks eclipse-cdt in my F16 system. The C/C++ perspective loses most of its functionality. I cannot even open the C++ source code in its native editor. On the closer look, it may have impacted other perspective as well, e.g. epic for perl.

Anybody else experience the same thing? Checking the /var/log/yum.log, here are the list of eclipse packages that got updated today:
1:eclipse-swt-3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64
1:eclipse-rcp-3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64
1:eclipse-platform-3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64
1:eclipse-jdt-3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64
1:eclipse-pde-3.7.1-7.fc16.x86_64

Removed the ~/.eclipse and relaunch the eclipse to regenerate this file solves the problem.

Same here, no plugins available except CVS.... everything else gone.... deleting ~/.eclipse and restarting eclipse fixed the things...
