Eclipse no longer working with 1.9.0-ea-b61

[Andreas Kohn]

You can actually download the bundle via Eclipses' orbit repository:
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20150124073747/repository/plugins/javax.xml_1.3.4.v201005080400.jar

The description for this bundle at
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20150124073747/
says "Part of and required for Xerces 2.9.0. The bundle corresponds to the
xml-apis.jar in the Xerces distribution.",

It "exports" these things:
javax.xml;version="1.3",
javax.xml.datatype;version="1.3",
javax.xml.namespace;version="1.3",
javax.xml.parsers;version="1.3",
javax.xml.transform;version="1.3",
javax.xml.transform.dom;version="1.3",
javax.xml.transform.sax;version="1.3",
javax.xml.transform.stream;version="1.3",
javax.xml.validation;version="1.3",
javax.xml.xpath;version="1.3",
org.apache.xmlcommons;version="1.3.4",
org.w3c.dom;version="3.0",
org.w3c.dom.bootstrap;version="3.0",
org.w3c.dom.css;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.events;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.html;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.ls;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.ranges;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.stylesheets;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.traversal;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.views;version="2.0",
org.w3c.dom.xpath;version="3.0",
org.xml.sax;version="2.0.2",
org.xml.sax.ext;version="2.0.2",
org.xml.sax.helpers;version="2.0.2"

With that said I did a small experiment: remove all classes from the
bundle, and only leave a (trimmed) META-INF/MANIFEST.MF. That didn't work,
however just by additionally keeping the org.w3c.dom.css classes eclipse
starts up again. :)

$ jar xf ~/modules/eclipse/plugins/javax.xml_1.3.4.v201005080400.jar
$ rm ~/modules/eclipse/plugins/javax.xml_1.3.4.v201005080400.jar
$ # remove stuff from META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
$ jar cvmf META-INF/MANIFEST.MF-trimmed
~/modules/eclipse/plugins/javax.xml_1.3.4.v201005080400.jar about* license/
org/apache/ plugin.properties org/w3c/dom/css

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, will update the eclipse bug
as well!
