Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

Hi I have exact the same problem. I thought it was related to java update, but not. It was firefox update. I solved the problem by removing firefox. Check out my post here http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46435 But I still don't know what caused that double entry in library path.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

I have the same problem.  I tried editing eclipse.ini and setting java.library.path explicitly to remove the double entry for firefox (as per this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=46435) but that didn't help. eg:

-Djava.library.path=/opt/java/jre/lib/i386/client:/opt/java/jre/lib/i386:/usr/lib/firefox-2.0.0.13:/usr/java/packages/lib/i386:/lib:/usr/lib

I even tried removing the entry in the path for firefox all together and eclipse will still freeze.  So it seems the double entry in java.library.path doesn't matter (?)  Removing firefox all together (pacman -R firefox) does keep eclipse from freezing but that's not really a solution.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

Well given multiple have "reported" this, it is time someone filed a bug report.  I can't remember seeing one...

Edit: I meant can't remember seeing one - i.e. exactly the opposite of what I wrote!  big_smile

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

But launch eclipse by typing /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse and eclipse do give different java.library.path, and the latter without double entry works with no freeze. I'm not sure if it's related to firefox update, but the 2.0.0.12 didn't produce the same problem.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

Just a quick update... you can downgrade firefox to get around this issue.

[josh@simba ~]$ cd /var/cache/pacman/pkg/
[josh@simba pkg]$ ls firefox-2.0.0.1*
firefox-2.0.0.12-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz  firefox-2.0.0.13-1-i686.pkg.tar.gz
[josh@simba pkg]$ sudo pacman -U firefox-2.0.0.12-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz

Or just use firefox3 instead as a "workaround", which is way more usable and faster than ff2. wink

Using eclipse in extra? I'd believe it has nothing to do with eclipse versions. Try remove firefox-2.0.0.13 completely.

I did sudo pacman -R firefox and no success , then downgraded to 2.0.0.12 then downgraded jre to 1.6u3 . I have eclipse from eclipse.org , now waiting to finish build of eclipse-java-europa from aur ,     if no success then probably will run virualbox and try eclipse under win , for now . need to work smile

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

for innusius:
I had the same problem today, downgrade of firefox didnt solved it. Neither did upgrade to ff3b.
I solved it by downgrading xulrunner. I hope it will help you too.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

innusius,

This is a long shot, but running eclipse in the java debugger "might" provide some insight.

From your eclipse directory, run:

jdb -classpath plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20080118.jar

Once in jdb, start eclipse with:

run org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

Not xulrunner or firefox bug I think!

For eclipse env,the java.library.path has same firefox/xulrunner path.

java.library.path depands LD_LIBRARY_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH include firefox/xulrunner path.

so,before running eclipse,export LD_LIBRARY_PATH without firefox/xulrunner path will solved this problem.

I use a .sh file to startup eclipse.

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/java/jre/lib/i386/client::/opt/java/jre/lib/i386
./eclipse

I installed xulrunner and firefox.

Needn't remove/downgrade xulrunner and firefox. Those are BASE package for GUI.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/eclipse     # doesn't work without this...
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/java/jre/lib/i386/client::/opt/java/jre/lib/i386
./eclipse

This works for me, but not quite. I can't use help: "Help error: Couldn't open a Web browser because there are none configured", which is a lie smile . I use Firefox. Any suggestions?

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

What version of Firefox?  Did you downgrade to 2.0.0.12?  If not, try that.  It's quick and painless to try that out.

Re: Eclipse Freeze [SOLVED]

Firefox has now upgraded to 2.0.0.14, which also experiences this problem, and I still have no workable solution other than downgrading to FF 2.0.0.12.

So I've opened Eclipse bug #227792 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=227792) for this problem.
