Eclipse editor won't open

My Eclipse cannot show the editor window.

Error:

Could not open the editor: The editor class could not be instantiated. This usually indicates a missing no-arg constructor or that the editor's class name was mistyped in plugin.xml.

Notes:

  • I'm using different Eclipse (and not plug-ins) for C++ and Python - and they work flawlessly, it's just the java eclipse that is causing troubles.
  • I've already tried re-installing eclipse, and even reinstalling java. any idea?
  • It has no troubles displaying the project file, it's "just" the *.java and *.class files that cannot be opened.

EDIT 2:
I changed the workspace and it fixed the problem (for the new workspace at least) but still - no idea why it happened. (though I am still curious, so I leave this question open).

Here was simple. Right-click in the class and choose the / open with / Java Editor, or Generic Text Editor option.

Aqui foi simples. Clique na classe com o botão direito e escolha a opção / open com / Editor Java, ou Editor de Texto Genérico.

When I faced this issue. I simple updated the eclipse and it resolve the problem.

A solution which worked for me (after first unsuccessfully trying the other more accurate steps listed above) was to do as below:

  1. Close Eclipse and delete all the contents of {Workspace}.metadata.plugins folder.
  2. Open Eclipse. It does not show any projects.
  3. Import the projects into the workspace by going to the File menu, clicking import and continuing with steps.

The issue gets resolved this way. However, a drawback is that you have to import the projects again after the steps.

I faced the same issue. It was basically caused by a version mismatch of the jadclipse jar. Initially I had jadclipse_3.2.1.jar but then I updated to net.sf.jadclipse_3.3.0.jar. Resolved the issue.
