Getting lots of compilation errors settting up DBeaver in Eclipse

[RedTailedHawk]

Just cloned the project and imported into Eclipse via pom.xml files, but getting lots of compilation errors.

I'm a newbie to Eclipse RCP, so perhaps I'm missing a plugin?

Thanks for any help.

FYI, I just installed the Eclipse SDK, but still getting build errors.

FWIW, I reinstalled Eclipse as Eclipse IDE for RCP and RAP Developers and rebuilt the workspace, but still getting 4200+ compilation errors.

Accordingly to step 14 from this instruction https://github.com/dbeaver/dbeaver/wiki/Develop-in-Eclipse

If some modules build will fail (they will be marked with red cross) - update Maven project

Thanks @uslss, I just needed to add those two dependencies mentioned in the Eclipse Development section. Appreciate the help!

OK, I get a clean build now, but when I try to debug the app I see the DBeaver splash screen, but then it says "The application could not start."

The Eclipse console shows a bunch of ClassNotFoundException messages. For example:

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.swt.SWTError cannot be found by org.eclipse.ui.workbench_3.119.0.v20200521-1247

I went to the Run Configuration and checked Add Required Plug-ins, but that didn't seem to help.

Figured I would update all of the Maven projects, but that's giving lots of errors. :-(

I actually just started from scratch on this (with Eclipse 2020-09) and got it to work. Looks like I just needed to root the workspace properly. i.e. I needed to import from the folder above the one that contained the root pom.xml, and not import from the folder that contained it.
