Description Bob Jenkins CLA 2016-07-07 12:23:01 EDT 
If Eclipse Neon (version 4.6.0 / Build id 20160613-1800) is installed by selecting "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" in the installer if the user at a later time installs cdtdebug.sh the cdtdebug.sh script will not run and the log indicates a "java.lang.ClassNotFoundException" error.

Note that cdtdebug.sh works when the "eclipse-cpp-neon-R-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz" archive is manually extracted. cdtdebug.sh also works when the standalone debugger archive is used.

The problem seems to only occur when installing Eclipse via the "Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers" option in the installer.

Is this the same as bug 497512?

I don't think it is, this bug looks on quick inspection to be that the cdtdebug script makes assumptions about locations of jars relative to eclipse{.exe}, which are not true when a bundle pool is used.
