Is there a way to clear state and start from scratch? I've tried everything I can think of and really don't want to have to rebuild my workspace. (and potentially all my workspaces which were created with the other architecture?) I've tried adding SWT and its fragment to the workspace but that doesn't help. I even get compile errors when I try and create a new HelloWorld project which references SWT. With Eclipse shut down, you can try to delete the cached State. It is in Workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.pde.core There will be two folders named <string of digits>.target and <string of digits>.workspace. Alternatively, you could just delete the whole PDE metadata folder, but it would remove all your targets and other data. Thanks Curtis. Removing the digit-folders didn't work but deleting the whole folder and then re-creating my target platform worked. There isn't any realistic changes PDE will make here. Marking the bug as a readme and closing as WONTFIX. Agreed, this is a very corner case and I don't anticipate many people change architectures and keeping the same workspaces. Thanks for your help with the work-around. |
