Can you run "rm -rf ~/.eclipse" and try again?

[Stefan Fleiter (stefan-fleiter)]

That does indeed work.
But it is no satisfying solution to have to do this.
Eclipse settings accumulate over time and it does cause quite some work to get them back
to the desired state.

But many thanks nonetheless especially for giving support.
That is very much appreciated!

After Eclipse upgrade, eclipse cannot start.

After removing ~/.eclipse directory, eclipse starts up. After some time, JVM hangs with backtrace in attachement.

And nearly same for Sun JDK

[Hans-Dominik (hdm-mail)]

same to me, although tried rm .elipse and workspace but didn't help anything. even reinstalled complete Java env. sunava and removed all other java versions.

getting eclipse from eclipse.org and tried to use this although doesn't work correctly. eclipse udate didn't find any http update sites even the web links are ok

[Hans-Dominik (hdm-mail)]

--> eclipse -clean -degug -consolelog

ends with an empty smal window

see log attached

[Louis Simard (louis-simard-deactivatedaccount)]

I have an identical log to the bug reporter's; renaming .eclipse to another name (per comment #2) did make Eclipse work, but lost settings. The window for the appearance of this bug seems to be 2009-10-07 - 2009-10-11.

I'd mark this Confirmed, but I don't know why it's marked Incomplete instead; care to shed some light into this, Benjamin?

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Due to my question I set the status to Incomplete. After answering the question the status can be set back to it's previous value.

[Niels Thykier (niels-thykier)]

Hi

Can you please re-try this again with eclipse 3.5.1-0ubuntu3 - again you may have to rename/remove ~/.eclipse (again yes) for it to work.

@djaara: Your crash appears to be different from the original one; though I suspect the solution is the same. Your eclipse uses libraries from two different versions of xulrunner (namely 1.9 and 1.9.1), which is probably the source of your crash. Though if you still experience this problem after this, please file a separate bug.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels

[Hans-Dominik (hdm-mail)]

works now fine for me !

unless I'm not able to use the 'Help -> Install New Software' functionality

I've got a pop-up which tells "Cannot complete the request. This installation hast not been configured properly for Software Updates"

Thanks for your support !

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

@Hans-Dominik: That is fixed in 3.5.1-0ubuntu3.

[Hans-Dominik (hdm-mail)]

don't know if confusing or helpful

I downloaded eclipse-cpp-galileo-SR1-linux-gtk.tar.gz provided by eclipse.org.

at 'Help -> Install New Software' choosing a update address and wait until download of update information finished, there is no context shown in the "Name/Version" edit field. if I resize the Install Window all the "available Software" Pakages are shown.

although some Push-buttons dont work with a mouse click but work by pressing tab and then using space bar.

trying same in Ubuntu 9.4 works perfect.

[djaara (djaara)]

@Niels Thykier:

after todays update it seems to work, thanks.

[Niels Thykier (niels-thykier)]

Alright.

It looks like all the problems here are solved (possible in a later version) or are reported as separate bug. Closing this as fixed.

@Stefan Fleiter: We are trying to minimize the need for "rm'ing" ~/.eclipse, we do not particularly like that neither.

~Niels

Hi,

Just to tell this bug has been mentionned on android-sdk page :

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4406

but i dont think this is very informative since eclipse works fine (for me at least),
also w/ android-sdk if installed outside eclipse...

Regards

BTW thanx to the eclipse packagers that release was so awaited

[Moritz Winter (winter-moritz)]

The problem with the ignored mouseclicks affecting Hans-Dominik (2009-10-16) also affects me

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

You experience bug #443004, which was already fixed in the Ubuntu package.

[EzNet (zeroezezero)]

Thank you! Removing .eclipse and WORKSPACE/.metadata made Eclipse work again!
