I tried to reinstall JavaFX and SceneBuilder but it changed nothing.
Reinstalling Eclipse Software also wasnt helping.

It looks like e(fx)clipse hasn't been updated for 2022-12, which removed some DataBinding APIs.
You can open an issue at https://github.com/eclipse-efx/efxclipse-eclipse/issues, but if you can work up a pull request to fix it, that'll probably move things along far more quickly.

I found a workaround to this problem.
Create a new JavaFX Project
Eclipse Project Creation Wizard Selection Screen
Rename the FXMLDocument to something unique
JavaFX Project Navigator Display
Right-click and copy the .FXML file from the bogus project you just created
Right-click in your real project and paste the .FXML file into the actual project
New .FXML file is in the original JavaFX Project
Delete the bogus JavaFX Project to clean up
Nod sagely and pat yourself on the back

I had the same problem, it was because I was using eclipse 12-2022. Just downgrade it to eclispe 09-2022.

I am on mac, followed installation instructions from official page: https://www.objectaid.com/install-objectaid
Eclipse version:
Eclipse IDE for Enterprise Java and Web Developers (includes
Incubating components)
Version: 2021-06 (4.20.0) Build id: 20210612-2011

It seems that ObjectAid is no longer maintained. I got this error running on JDK17.
There is a workaround:
Download xstream 1.4.18 jar
Locate the com.objectaid.uml_1.2.4.jar file and open it (with the zip tool of your choice)
Delete the xstream-1.3.1.jar file inside the lib directory. Add the xstream-1.4.18.jar to the lib directory.
Open the file META-INF/MANIFEST.MF and replace line lib/xstream-1.3.1.jar with lib/xstream-1.4.18.jar.
Add to your eclipse.ini the following vmargs: --add-opens=java.base/java.lang=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.util=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.base/java.text=ALL-UNNAMED --add-opens=java.desktop/java.awt.font=ALL-UNNAMED
Restart Eclipse with -clean to ensure the OSGI cache is purged.

Working with Eclipse 2022-09 and Java 17, I faced similar issues as described initially. For that I just followed the points 1 .- 4., but worked on an "installation archive" of ObjectAID.
Instead of editing the eclipse.ini, I simply uninstalled the 'old' ObjectAID and re-installed it from that edited "installation archive". That worked!

Checkstyles + Gradle throwing Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: given name COMPACT_CTOR_DEF

I've recently added the checkstyle plugin to the project for static code analysis. But after updating the google-style.xml from the latest master, I've started receiving the below exception :

The xml file that is being used : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/master/src/main/resources/google_checks.xml
The configuration for my checkstyle plugin is as below :
checkstyle {
toolVersion = '8.35'
configFile = file("$projectDir/google_checks.xml")
showViolations = true
ignoreFailures = false
}
The gradle version I'm using :
------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 5.6.2

Build time: 2019-09-05 16:13:54 UTC
Revision: 55a5e53d855db8fc7b0e494412fc624051a8e781
Kotlin: 1.3.41
Groovy: 2.5.4
Ant: Apache Ant(TM) version 1.9.14 compiled on March 12 2019
JVM: 11.0.4 (Oracle Corporation 11.0.4+10-LTS)
OS: Mac OS X 10.14.6 x86_64
Any help or pointers to as what could be causing the issue?

The problem here is that you are using google_checks file from master branch, which means the latest version, and it may have things which will be supported only in next release.
It is mentioned in docs
ATTENTION: Links to config and test in following table reference to latest (not released yet) config. Config might be slightly different from what we have in latest release. Please always use config that is embedded to jar or use a custom version copied from one that matches your checkstyle version.
This is exactly your case, since token COMPACT_CTOR_DEF was added after 8.35 release.
Best practice here is to use embedded google style, which is tested and working fine.
Update (from my comment to this answer):
To find google_checks.xml for some checkstyle version without searching in jar file do following (will not work for very old checkstyle versions)
Open releases page
Scroll to release you are interested in and click on "checkstyle-<your_version>" link above commit hash. It will open code at this commit.
Navigate to src/main/resources/ there you can see google_checks.xml file.

To find google_checks.xml for some checkstyle version without searching in jar file
Find your release https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/releases
Click on tag name for this release, for example https://github.com/checkstyle/checkstyle/tree/checkstyle-8.40
Click in "Go to file" button and search for google_checks.xml.
Use raw format of file.
