Thanks for all who commented for my question.I tried your answers but I can resolve that issue by removing this folder from my .plugin folder,

 .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi.

Thanks

I faced similar problem while running Eclipse neon with Java 9(latest). I used to get error in .metadata.log . Class not found exception.

Checked in eclipse forum and they had a know error with Java 9. Work around was to use java 8. I tried that and it worked for me. Fix should be out anytime soon.

There are other work around but i did not need it since my project required java 8 anyhow.

When you try to add plugins via Eclipse IDE (Help->install new software) the problem occurs.

I suggest you to get the relevant plugin using there official website or in IDE (Help ->Eclipse market place).
