Public bug reported:
I have installed eclipse, using
snap install eclipse --classic
After a reboot, eclipse now has this error:
$ eclipse
snap-confine has elevated permissions and is not confined but should be.
Refusing to continue to avoid permission escalation attacks
There is a work-around, but it's quite ugly:
sudo apt purge snapd snap-confine && sudo apt install -y snapd
snap install eclipse --classic
