Eclipse Oxygen Linux no longer starts after installing Windowbuilder [message #1780941]

I have recently started using Eclipse and wish to install Windowbuilder. I followed the instructions and everything seemed to be OK, but now Eclipse displays an error on invocation and will not start.

The log entry shows:

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core.ProvisionException: No repository found at file:/usr/share/eclipse/droplets/cdt/.

This was correct. As a wild guess, I created the missing directory, but still cannot start Eclipse.

I have Googled my specific error without getting any hits.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Doug

Stupid me for not reading the forum stickies. I was using the Eclipse version supplied by the Fedora repositories. Downloaded the 'official' version, wrestled with it a bit and ended up with a working version with windowbuilder installed. Now I need to read the doco to understand how to use it, but that is relatively easy. Sorry for wasting your time.
