IBM MobileFirst Platform Studio is broken after updating to version 7.0.0.00-20150402-2001

I updated my IBM MobileFirst Platform Studio to the newest version 7.0.0.00-20150402-2001 via Eclipse > Help > Check for Updates. With the result that MobileFirst is no longer running. I am missing the MFPF special Run commands, in “About Eclipse” MobileFirst is missing, and .metadata.log contains tons of errors, starting with

Even the uninstall fails with No action found for: com.worklight.studio.plugin.Clean.

How can I fix my MFPF installation?

Solution

  • With fatal errors like the one described, while I am not sure why that happened, the best course of action is to use a fresh instance of Eclipse with a new workspace and then re-install the MFP Studio plug-in from the Eclipse Marketplace.
