Eclipse: Referenced classpath provider does not exist


In my attempt to lighten my eclipse, I uninstalled some plugins.

After that I can't run my projects anymore. I get this error:

Referenced classpath provider does not exist: org.eclipse.m2e.launchconfig.classpathProvider

How can I recover from this?

I don't remember which plugins I removed.

I am using Eclipse Indigo.


Solution

  • A simple solution to get your launch configurations running again, is to right click on your project within the IDE and then choose Configure -> Convert to Maven Project. This fixes the broken launch configuration and also brings back the "Maven" context menu entry for the project.
