Can't Run Simulator

Question

I haven\'t been coding for a little while, and so I fired up Eclipse, updated the plugin and Eclipse, and now when I try to launch the simulator I get an exception:

Answer 1

Update: I have a workaround which I don't fully understand. Right click the Simulator*.launch file and select Run As -> Run Configurations. There select the simulator entry and select classpath:

In the bootstrap entries remove the JRE System Library and press run. Once you do that running and debugging should work as before.

Below is my (still applicable at this time) answer.

I was able to reproduce this and it happens on a Mac too. This looks like an Eclipse bug and I've filed an issue here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=526441 Feel free to upvote/comment on the issue so we might get a faster resolution on this.

I'm trying to find a workaround but I'm not really sure where to begin right now as this is pretty deep in the JVM/IDE. I added eclipse tags to the question hoping someone from the eclipse community has a better idea.
