Got error after installing new LTS 2023-12 eclipse and newest vrapper version

Did you install from the Eclipse marketplace (from within Eclipse)? Could you try installing from the unstable update site instead? The unstable update site has newer changes, I'm curious if it'll work.
http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/update-site/unstable

I've seen people post this kind of stacktrace before, e.g. #841, but I think we have never really figured out why this happens.

The last comment in that issue ticket also states that they tried with the latest unstable version 0.75.

I interpret the stacktrace like this ....

The Genuitec tooling is installed. It is a tool that implements dark theme in Eclipse.
From the stacktrace it seems this is trying to use reflection to call "setCSSForeground" which is not existing.
I do not understand if vrapper's CLable should have it. The base class does not have it either.

@KhoaLee I propose to report a problem report at Genuitec

On the other hand, the vrapper CLable class mentions styling and it uses the same name as the base class to avoid e4 dependency. Is this still a concern, the e4 dependency?

@KhoaLee there is already https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/conflicts-with-vrapper/
you might give it a bump up

If it was decided to jump to Java 17 compatibility and hence block out Eclipse 3.x versions anyway then I can't see why. Just depend on an E4 bundle which is slightly older than the latest one, otherwise people cannot use Vrapper if they're running a few Eclipse versions behind.
