Eclipse 2022-09 Icon in the dock has an error in it on MacBook M1

Question

Check the image, whenever I start Eclipse the logo gets that error after the software performs initial startup and deferred early start checks. Does anyone know how to fix this? I can't stand that error message.

Makes running Eclipse with a fresh workspace ( eclipse -data <workspace_dir>) a difference (...pace might mean workspace)? – Liva

Just looks like a "badge app icon" notification rather than an error. Look in the Notifications & Focus in the System Preferences to see if it can be disabled. – Minus

I don't see an option to disable dock badges for eclipse, can someone help me find it if there is an option like that @Minus – Clash

Answer 1

In Eclipse, open Preferences and navigate to General → Workspace. Disable the "Show workspace name" option; this will remove it from the window title, as you would expect, but also from the Dock icon.
