Classpath Scanning issues prevent editor from opening

[iantmoore]

from Andrew Lee via google groups.

A developers is having issues with using the eclipse plugin and I think it is to do with classpath scanning. (stacktrace below)

This is preventing the editor from opening. I have experienced other strange errors around class loading too where it scans and loads surprising jars and it's a bit hard to work out why.

For instance, I had version 2.{something} of groovy and the eclipse plugin crashed because it tried to load a class in the groovy jar that had been compiled with java 1.7, when we run eclipse using java 1.6 (which granted was a bit of a mistake and this was fine once I downgraded the jar).

It would be great if the plugin was a bit more resilient around issues like this. Or maybe even in the future, if it was possible to specify paths to exclude/include from scanning (a bit like the jbehave plugin does).

Cheers,

Andy.
