Eclipse + Kotlin plug-in = "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/eclipse/jdt/internal/ui/javaeditor/CompilationUnitEditor"?

Eclipse

Anyone have success using Eclipse 2018-12 RC1 (or other version) for Kotlin development? If so, what JVM, Eclipse and kotlin plug-in versions do you use?

I tried the following combination but only had limited success:

  • Eclipse 2018-12 RC1 (buildId=4.10.0.I20181129-0330)
  • JVM (11.0.1)
  • Kotlin plugin (0.8.11.v20181207-0928)

Eclipse seems to run fine on JVM 11 but Kotlin plug-in gives errors when creating a new Kotlin project:

Errors occurred during the build.
Errors running builder 'KotlinBuilder' on project 'KotTest'.
org/eclipse/jdt/internal/ui/javaeditor/CompilationUnitEditor

Thanks

From the Eclipse log:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 4 75 2018-12-15 15:46:27.368

I have the same problem with the release version of Eclipse and no solution.

Same problem here with the newest version of Eclipse. Messages in the task tracker state that the nightly build of the plugin works. Has the fixed version a planned release date?
