FrameworkEvent ERROR when restarting Eclipse after running CICS Explorer SDK

Troubleshooting


Problem

You have installed the CICS Transaction Server for z/OS (CICS TS) Explorer SDK in an Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE). When you first start Eclipse, you are able to generate the sample Java™ resources. But, you are never able to initialize Eclipse again after you shut down Eclipse. To run the SDK again, you have to install it into a new Eclipse.

Symptom

You see this Eclipse pop-up telling you that "An error has occurred. See the log file ...":



These are the messages at the beginning of the log file referenced in the Eclipse pop-up (D:\EclipseJuno\eclipse\configuration\1349299335321.log):
