An internal error occurred during: "AppXray Indexing..."

Question

I installed Oracle WebLogic Tools for Eclipse Luna and now I get the error in the title at startup. I've attached the Eclipse log below.

Solution 1

Try turning off AppXray assuming that you do not need it.

Window -> Preferences -> AppXray

Check the "Disable AppXray" checkbox.

Lastly click "Apply".

Solution 2

In the newer versions of Eclipse to turn off AppXray the path is

window -> Preferences -> Oracle ->AppXray

In my version it was Window -> Preferences -> Oracle -> AppXray. Still, plus one for giving me a helpful answer :)

Thanks for actually taking the time to copy my own comment into an answer, and actually helping me help myself, two years later ;)
