A DevStyle Update stopped Eclispe launching.
Last week, on Friday, eclipse automatically started and completed the devStyle update.
After update completion, I turned off pc.
Now after trying to open the eclipse, its failing again and again by showing following log
java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: url

Also I have figured out that com.genuitec.eclipse.webclipse.evergreen.prefs file also changed last week, after update. Its content is as below

Can anybody let me know how to revert changes without opening the eclispe (as its throwing error) or any fix ?
We're sorry you ran into this rather disruptive problem - this issue affects Eclipse Neon users who have the DevStyle Icon Designer installed.
You need to delete the com.genuitec.eclipse.theming.icon.designer_1.11.0.201906121516 plugin - please see this post for further details and specific instructions on the fix. Again, sincere apologies for the inconvenience caused.
