FYI – I logged ticket https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=472259 with Eclipse.org for investigation.
El Capitan beta 3 seems to break all Eclipse-based tooling. Although Apple release notes state “Some versions of Eclipse may hang during use.”, this is not correct and so far all versions of Eclipse I have tested hang at startup – i.e. you are unable to actually use the application to begin with.
Hopefully this is only a beta related bug or something Eclipse.org can fix.
@Genuitec – you can easily reproduce this by just running the Online installer on El Capitan beta 3 – the installer just freezes and the UI becomes unresponsive.Gerd,
Thank you for pointing to the issue. As MyEclipse is based on Eclipse, you are seeing the issue with MyEclipse. We will keep a watch on the bug for the fix.

MyEclipse SupportNo problem, the same issue occurs btw also on the public beta released today. Since I was brave enough to update my work laptop, I had to now switch to IntelliJ which seems to be the only functioning IDE at the moment.
Gerd,
Just a quick note that there are steps available for downgrading to DP 2 — essentially install DP 1 from the App Store overwriting DP 3 (no need to reinstall OS), then you can upgrade to DP 2 avoiding DP 3.
Yes, a very frustrating issue. This also causes Eclipse RCP applications and others to break. The good news is that this will be fixed on the Apple side and does not require a new Eclipse or MyEclipse release to fix.
For better or worse, Apple did detect this before releasing DP 3 and include it on their release notes indicating Eclipse would break — though far down in the fine print and I myself am stuck in a broken state as well! Well, short of doing development under Parallels temporarily.

Just to confirm that I tried reverting to DP2 and MyEclipse starts up fine.
I guess this is beta software and shouldn’t be relied on to be stable. 😉
Beta 4 fixes the issue and everything is working fine. Sometimes the package explorer does not redraw, but this seems to be another known problem, but not a major issue.
@mods – could you please fix my embarrassing typo in the title (only noticed it now)
