Following some reboots and updates this morning I am now unable to start the Eclipse IDE. This was working before the upgrade. I have the C++ developer support added to Eclipse. To the best of my memory (and ability to interrogate apt) it is all installed from the Ubuntu repositories. When I click the Eclipse launcher pinned to my side bat I get an error message from Eclipse that reads: An error has occurred.
