Problems with the Eclipse PLCnext Plugin and CentOS

Hi, We’ve observed an error while using Eclipse C/C++ 2019.12 and the PLCnext Plugin in combination with CentOS. PLCnext SDK version 2019.12 showed an interesting error: An internal error occurred during: “Check PLCnext command line tool availability”.

Could not find satisfiable constructor in com.phoenixcontact.plcnext.commonImpl.DIHost but this is a little bit confusing since the actual error might be something different. This is hinted by version 2020.0 which complains about Java 9 not being istalled (we are running Java 8 on default). Best regards,
Michael Krön


Hi Michael, The solution to the Java 9 issue is described here, but in case that is not possible for you, and if you really want to use Eclipse to build your C++ projects, then you will be limited to building for firmware versions earlier than 2020.0. I am not aware that there is a PLCnext SDK version 2019.12 … do you mind me asking where you got this? That might help us to track down the problem. ~ Martin.
