Update 28 May 2013:
I have found a work around for this. Though this is not always works MOST of the time it does. In Eclipse > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown uncheck the option "ClearCase Remote Client plug-in"
Every time I start the problem workspace, before doing anything (like click on any resource or click on project in project explorer) I connect to the ClearCase repository. This seems to calm down the error most of the time. Also, the Eclipse shortcut that I have on my desktop, has -clean option set in it. So when I start the eclipse my eclipse already starts with the clean up option. Though not sure if it has any bearing on the problem. However not sure if this will help in a situation when I am working offline; when I can not connect to the ClearCase repository.
Update 21 May 2013:
At this time it looks like there is no resolution for this except a CCRC plugin upgrade. For now marking VonC's answer as correct. Will update the post if I find a better solution.
I created a fresh new workspace and setup the workspace and so far I do not see any problems so far. Still not sure what was wrong with my workspace though.
==================================================
I have been having this problem for quite sometime on one of the workspace.
Error:
I am seeing the following error pop up with the error message; and will NOT go away.
An error has occurred. See error log for more details.
Could not initialize class com.ibm.rational.team.client.ui.model.common.ImageManager
Symptoms:
What I have tried so far:
System Info:
Windows 7 Enterprise Edition 64 bit.
Eclipse 3.7 Java EE developers
CCRC plugin Version: 7.1.0.0 , Build id: 7.1.1.03.00_2010C.D100803
Is there anything that can be done to resolve this. It's frustrating to work with such a broken plugin, that practically hinders ones work.
Any suggestion will be helpful.
This looks like PM38965 and there is no other solution than upgrading:
A fix is available in ClearCase versions 7.1.1.8, 7.1.2.5 and 8.0.0.1
You can see it listed in this release note:
Addresses a ClearCase issue where the ClearTeam Explorer produces a "
Could not initialize class com.ibm.rational.team.client.ui.model.common.ImageManager
" error intermittently when performing various operations.
The OP reports a workaround:
In Eclipse > Preferences > General > Startup and Shutdown
, uncheck the option "ClearCase Remote Client plug-in
"
Every time I start the problem workspace, before doing anything (like click on any resource or click on project in project explorer) I connect to the ClearCase repository.
This seems to calm down the error most of the time.Also, the Eclipse shortcut that I have on my desktop, has '
-clean
' option set in it. So when I start the eclipse my eclipse already starts with the clean up option.
Though not sure if it has any bearing on the problem. However not sure if this will help in a situation when I am working offline; when I can not connect to the ClearCase repository.
The '-clean
' being a local operation, it will have the same effect offline or online.
