Hi,

I'm using Eclipse 2020-06 and updated to the latest version of the SAP Development Tools plugin.

After the update I see now the following error message when I start Eclipse.

In the Eclipse logfile .log I see the following error message:

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 0 2020-07-15 17:02:45.692
!MESSAGE init exec providers default locations
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2020-07-15 17:02:45.692
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "GRUNT default location".

at org.eclipse.core.runtime.jobs.Job$2.run(Job.java:185)

Please fix it.

Kind regards

Eclipse does not show any available update for the SAP Develpoment Tools but I still get the error message when starting Eclipse 2020-06.

Which version of the SAP Development Tools actually fixes this error exactly?

Hello! I was facing this same issue after a eclipse update, and after removed the SAP Cloud Business Application Tools got a fix.

The step by step:

1. Help > Install new software.
2. Select the Hana Tools repository (I Don't think this is really necessary, but I did it when got the fix)
3. Click on the link "What is already installed"
4. In the new window that shows off, search for "SAP Cloud Business Application Tools", select it (make sure you are selecting the root folder) and click on Uninstall

It worked for me, hope it can help.

Obs: I dont use it to connect in a Cloud System, so I did not tried to reinstall it.
