Eclipse (Ganymede) does not start on Open SUSE 11.0

Dear all
Greetings from atul… A few days back, I just installed Open SUSE and I am loving it :wink:
Eclipse is what I am having problem with…
I start Eclipse, the splash screen appears and then it just hangs… I tried with Eclipse java and Eclipse Cpp… I observed the same behaviour.

I have sun jdk 1.6 on the box (installed from the openSuse disk)...

Any pointers -

TIA atul

Dear all
I did some more investigation… the .log in my workspace has this error…

java.lang.RuntimeException: Widget disposed too early!
at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPartReference$1.widgetDisposed(WorkbenchPartReference.java:171)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:117)
at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:84)
…

any idea how to work around this?

– thx atul

So if you have your workspace already this means you have opened Eclipse before this error occured?

Have you set your JAVA_HOME correctly?

What project have you set up that is the cause of this error, or have you set one up yet?

Hi!
Try to start your Eclipse with:


eclipse -clean

.
Good luck

My Eclipse(Ganymede) still freezes on OpenSuse 11.0. I have jdk 6 too.I defined the Java_Home like export JAVA_HOME="/home/smuwanga/software/jdk1.6.0_11"

I also tried the another option of installing the gtk(which is eclipse 3.3) from the openSUSE DVD through Yast. It installed successfully. Where can I find this installation so that I can start eclipse?

Thanking,
Simon P.

You can diagnose the problem by querying the installed packages from the command line:
> rpm -qa | grep -i firefox
If the query result indicates a firefox package 3.0 beta, you will need to install an updated firefox package.
> rpm -qa | grep -i xulrunner
If the query result indicates a xulrunner package 1.9.0 beta, you will need to install an updated xulrunner package.

and then try with eclipse -clean

In my OpenSuse 11.2 64 bits, i have the same problem.

My solution: Download Eclipse Galileo Packages (based on Eclipse 3.5 SR1) in Eclipse Downloads

Hi all,

I had the same problem with an eclipse-based application: IBM’s Data Studio.

After quite a while googling around, I found a fix quite simple, indeed: append one line to eclipse’s .ini file (in this case ‘datastudio.ini’) :

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner

The versions involved are:

  • OpenSuse 11.3 - kde interface
  • Firefox 3.6.6 (bundled in opensuse 11.3)
  • org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.4.0.v20080512

Et voila!

Cheers - Artejera
