OpenJDK for Eclipse in Lucid has SIGSEGV on Startup

[John Spitzer]

 The hs_err_pid2608.log created on crash on Startup of eclipse under Lucid is attached.

[Semmy Purewal (semmy-purewal)]

I was unable to confirm this bug. I installed openjdk 6 (6b18-1.8-0ubuntu1) and Eclipse Galileo (standard version, not the Enterprise-Edition). I able to create and run Hello World application with no crashes.

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

Hi,
I am not surprised as I have both CFEclipse and the Android SDK
plugins installed on my version of Eclipse Galileo as well as the
latest Alwin Garside's PPA Yogarine for Eclipse itself. I suspect
there is some sort of interaction happening leading to an unexpected
state in OpenJDK.
Cheers,
John
PS. I also have the Subversion plugin installed as well.

Hi, John!

Thanks for the additional information. I've added the Yogarine PPA using the instructions found here:

https://launchpad.net/~yogarine/+archive/eclipse

Can you tell me which of those plugins (if any) you installed via Yogarine, and which ones you installed through Eclipse? Also, did you install Eclipse ubuntu package, or did you directly download it from the eclipse website?

Thanks,

-Semmy

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

Hi Semmy,
Under Ubuntu 9.10 I could not get Eclipse going in the normal way so I
installed it via Yogarine PPA and then added the CFEclipse &
Subversion & Android Plugins via Eclipse itself. Prior to this I was
unable to add these plugins to Eclipse at all. Everything went along
swimmingly until I upgraded to Lucid when Eclipse would just die soon
after loading and before I could use the toolbar. I then added the
most recent Yogarine PPA for Eclipse and started Eclipse from the
command line where I got the hs_err_pid2608.log failure notice which I
passed on to you,
Hope this is of assistance,
Cheers,
John

Hi Semmy,
Any news about this one? I hope it has not gone into the too hard
basket as I have been limping along using gedit, the command line &
FireFox which is suboptimal.
I should also mention I have 2 Eclipse workspaces - one for the
Android SDK and one for the CFEclipse stuff under a remote SVN server
- the latter being active.
I work for a very busy CF Shop, but if necessary I suppose I will have
resolve this issue myself in my own time. The other developers here
all use some form of Windows. I worked on an early distributed system
using Unix System5R4 and have only recently ~6 months been using
Linux/Ubuntu in anger after a sporadic interest in Linux over the
years since. Everything was good until the Lucid upgrade. Having
access to the source does mean you can resolve issues oneself as a
last resort, but the complexity of modern Linux systems ask for a
steep learning curve - so much for Linux for humans!
Cheers,
John

Hi,
I have just done the eclipse update among others in the latest Lucid

Hi,
I have been able to reproduce the problem on a clean instance of
eclipse on lucid by removing the main plugins - cfeclipse & android so
that eclipse stays up. Just go to Help -> Help Contents and eclipse
then crashes at the same point in libmozjs.so !
Hope this helps finding a quick solution to the problem,
Cheers,
John

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

It appears to be the same issue as Bug 290075 .

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

The fix suggested in Bug 290075 makes the Help -> Help Contents issue in eclipse go away.

[Sawyer Pangborn (abandonedhero)]

I had the same issue, and determined that if Firefox 3.7 from the mozilla-daily PPA is installed, it causes issues. I removed Firefox 3.7 and everything goes back to normal. This could be related to having multiple xulrunner versions installed that are conflicting.

Firefox 3.7 ships with xulrunner-1.9.3, where Eclipse uses xulrunner-1.9.2.

It sucks that I can't use Firefox 3.7 for testing, but at least I have a stable development environment now.

[John Spitzer (john-spitzer)]

Thanks for that. I am still on Firefox 3.6.3 so I don't have your problem yet.
BTW Doesn't this remind you of "DLL Hell"? Perhaps Ubuntu should have
the concept of Assemblies like .Net.
