Eclipse Europe 3.3.1 hangs on "Loading Workbench"

tiraeth · 2008-05-22 17:06:52

Hi there,

At first, if you think that a solution for my problem is on the forums, you're wrong - nothing works.

Let me explain what's the matter:

1. I've installed jre and jdk packages from official repos via pacman.
2. I have Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.14 and xulrunner 1.8.1.13_2008040213 - both from pacman.
3. I've downloaded Eclipse Europe 3.3.1 Plafrom X86 GTK (without any plugins, just 40MB package with Eclipse itself).

When I run the editor, it hangs on "Loading Workbench", close to 90% of progress bar. The CPU Monitor shows me 100% CPU Usage and the only thing I can do is to close the process of Eclipse.

First of all, I thought that it's - as everyone said here - Firefox and xulrunner. I couldn't downgrade xulrunner, but removing Firefox and/or upgrading to Firefox 3 doesn't work. After that, I tried a few kinds of Eclipse - 3.3.1 from repos, 3.3.1 from eclipse.org and 3.2.2 from eclipse.org. Neither different versions nor Java Runtime-Environment from java.sun.com (jre1.6.0_06) works.

I'm really confused about that. On my old arch installation, Eclipse worked fine. On my new (the same machine, just the OS reinstallation) - it doesn't.

Sorry for my language, and please - help me.

Cheers!

EDIT:

Finally works! I removed xulrunner (and all it dependencies e.g. epiphany) and eclipse works. Wow, I'm impressed that xulrunner cause this.

So, my question is: Can I work without xulrunner or is it necessary for something?

Cheers!

Xulrunner is useful if you develop some applications in XUL (for mozilla for example) ! But I don't think you do that.

BTW, removing xulrunner was a solution proposed in the forum, wasn't it ?

I have Xulrunner installed and it works with eclipse but I use the standalone Java "package" from official website. I think it is the best way to install since eclipse is just a standard Java application, no need of Arch package.

Anyway, it works I need Eclipse to my work, and I was very scaried of Eclipse hanging.

Just as you said, I will not use Xulrunner - I'm not a Mozilla Developer Hehe... But, I have to correct - downgrading xulrunner was the solution

I'm such a noob

I have the same problem and I remove the xulrunner and dependences but still freezes.
Any idea ???
tks

@douglas_moreno: What versions of Firefox, JRE, Eclipse itself? For example, in my situation, the newest Nightly Build (3.4RC1) of Eclipse doesn't work (hangs on "Loading...") but 3.3.1 from repository works fine.

I also have the same problem, I need eclipse and epiphany (my default browser). I have installed eclipse from the repositories.
Any help? I really need eclipse to work

Bapman · 2008-05-26 15:20:53

Do you have Xulrunner installed ? If so, did you downgrade it ?

As I said, I now prefer using eclipse official packages directly from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/. It's easy, unpack and launch !

Try it:
1. Run console
2. Type eclipse
3. After start: in menu Window -> Preferences, next General -> Startup and Shutdown. Switch off "Prompt for workspace on startup"

Next close app and console, try to start in X-menu.

I found a solution:

That solved my problem (as I don't need the embedded browser). I put this line in my eclipse.ini:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/dev/null

hi!

i had the same problem: eclipse freezed when loading the workbench or after a few minutes of work.
removing xulrunner didn't help, but the following shell skript solved it:

#!/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

Use this whenever you start eclipse.
