Xtext v2.32.0: com.google.inject: Missing Constraint: Import-Package: sun.misc; version="0.0.0"

[maxkratz]

Similar to #2717, Xtext v2.32.0 breaks Eclipse Modeling in version 2023-06.
This means that the default installation of the latest stable Eclipse Modeling with the latest stable release of Xtext is currently broken.

Steps to reproduce:

• Download Eclipse Modeling version 2023-06, e.g., from here: https://ftp.fau.de/eclipse/technology/epp/downloads/release/2023-06/R/
• Install Xtext v2.32.0, e.g., from this update site: http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/tmf/xtext/updates/composite/releases/
• Try to start a runtime Eclipse and see the error message:

@maxkratz Can you confirm that the problem is no longer reproducible when you start from 2023-09 ?

Yes, I can confirm that the problem is not reproducible in Eclipse Modeling 2023-09.

If I understand this page correctly, the 2023-09 release is planned for the 13th of September, so the problem will be fixed in two days :).

Thank you for the report and the timely evaluation of 2023-09 to confirm the fix! I'll close this issue.

Yes, I can only confirm this.

I also use Eclipse-Modelling 2023-09 with the Xtext 2.32 in the TP and since the the mentioned fix in PDE was available the error vanished as expected. With 2023-09 pre M3 and Xtext 2.32 nightly builds I encountered it, so it should be really fixed.

That's correct.
You can always find Milestones and Release-Candidates of future releases here under the first entry:
https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/
There is also a latest Product-Version stream for Oomph.

In general testing future release before they are released is more than welcome in order to find regressions as early as possible.
