It was time to upgrade Eclipse.

And as usual getting Eclipse with Kotlin plugin working is a nightmare.

In case anybody has the same issue, then here is my recipe.

1) download Eclipse 2022-9 Java edition
2) install (just unzip)
3) do not install AspectJ plugin (that used to be required, but now
it kills the installation)
4) open Eclipse marketplace in browser, find Kotlin plugin and drop
and drag install widget to Eclipse workspace (marketplace inside
Eclipse can't find the Kotlin plugin)
5) complete installation
6) ignore the error messages and exit
7) delete the
<workspaceroot>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi
8) open Eclipse again and it seems to work
