OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 15+36-1562, mixed mode, sharing)


A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Bringing up the latest eclipse for C++ gives the error in the Synopsis.  When brought up with Open-jdk 14, it works fine.

Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers (includes Incubating components)
Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0)
Build id: 20200910-1200

Java version: 15


STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Bring up eclipse with this jvm.

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
eclipse would come up without giving the error.
ACTUAL -
An internal error occurred during: "Load QML Analyzer".
Cannot invoke "javax.script.ScriptEngine.getContext()" because "this.engine" is null


CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
Go back to jdk-14

FREQUENCY : always
Comments
This is not a bug. Nashorn has been removed from the JDK in release 15. Starting with release 15, there are no pre-configured JavaScript engine available. One must configure it before use. https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8236933

The observation on Windows 10: Downloaded Eclipse Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version: 2020-09 (4.17.0) Could not observe the error as described in the report. It is probably an issue of Eclipse. Moved to JDK for more comments.
