Hi,

Exactly which eclipse packages do you have installed? The output of:
  dpkg -l | grep eclipse
should do just fine.

What is the output of:
  find ~/.eclipse /usr/lib/jni/ -name '*swt*'
  find /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/ -name '*swt*'

Also you appear to have two versions of xulrunner installed; eclipse has been known to handle this very poorly. I doubt this is your current problem, but you could very well run into problems with that if this problem is solved.

Thank you in advance,
~Niels

Hello,
I have the same problem. Here's some information.

$ dpkg -l | grep eclipse
ii eclipse 3.5.2-5 Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
ii eclipse-jdt 3.5.2-5 Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT)
ii eclipse-pde 3.5.2-5 Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE)
ii eclipse-platform 3.5.2-5 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language
ii eclipse-platform-data 3.5.2-5 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language (data)
ii eclipse-plugin-cvs 3.5.2-5 Eclipse Team Integration (CVS support)
ii eclipse-rcp 3.5.2-5 Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)

$ find ~/.eclipse /usr/lib/jni/ -name '*swt*'
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-mozilla-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-atk-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-cairo-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-xulrunner-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-glx-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-gnome-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-pi-gtk-3555.so
/usr/lib/jni/libswt-awt-gtk-3555.so

$ find /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/ -name '*swt*'
it finds nothing.

It seems that eclipse is trying to load swt 3557, but only 3555 is present. I tried to make soft link but still failed.
By the way, I have only one version of xulrunner.

$ dpkg -l | grep xulrunner
ii xulrunner-1.9.2 1.9.2.8+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu1 XUL + XPCOM application runner

Thanks

Ok, I just upgrade eclipse to 3.5.2-6, and this problem seems fixed.

Now I got
$ find /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/ -name '*swt*'
/usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/145/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3557.so

/usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/145/1/.cp/libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3557.so

[Andreas Schildbach (schildbach)]

I can confirm that this has been fixed with 3.5.2-6. Thanks!

It happens to me since last eclipse update (yesterday or the day before yesterday). Currently I have version: 3.5.2-8ubuntu2.
I'm working on 11.04 (natty).
Problem is exactly as above, eclipse wantsswt-gtk-3557, but only -3555 present. As solution in here is upgrading eclipse - won't work for me now, as it's up to date.

When I want to start eclipse, it fails and generates it:

[Simon Charette (charettes)]

I'm having the same issue as Jan with fresh natty alpha 3 64 bit open jdk.

[Octavian Damiean (mainerror)]

I can confirm this also on Natty Alpha 3 64bit.

[Wouter Deconinck (wdconinc)]

I can confirm this problem as well. Attached are some diagnostics (as requested earlier).

[cedric (cedric)]

This also affects me on alpha3 32bits.

[Wouter Deconinck (wdconinc)]

See also bug 728825... which is confirmed and critical. New info is probably better added there.

[johnj (johnleejacobs)]

This is also affecting me on Natty Alpha 3, x86_64

[Krish (mail-me-in)]

Same here on Natty alpha 3.

[Henrique Rocha (hmrocha-fc)]

Also happens to me.
I've just installed Eclipse using apt-get install eclipse-jdt because I want to start looking into Android development.

[Henrique Rocha (hmrocha-fc)]

I forgot to add that I'm using a freshly updated natty alpha 3.

[Alejandro Piñeiro (apinheiro)]

I also had this problem using Ubuntu oneiric. I have this eclipse packages installed:

ii eclipse 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE
ii eclipse-jdt 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse Java Development Tools (JDT)
ii eclipse-pde 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse Plug-in Development Environment (PDE)
ii eclipse-platform 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language
ii eclipse-platform-data 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse platform without plug-ins to develop any language (data)
ii eclipse-plugin-cvs 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse Team Integration (CVS support)
ii eclipse-rcp 3.5.2-11ubuntu1 Eclipse Rich Client Platform (RCP)

And this java ones:

ii sun-java6-bin 6.26-1natty1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture dependent files)
ii sun-java6-demo 6.26-1natty1 Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6 demos and examples
ii sun-java6-jdk 6.26-1natty1 Sun Java(TM) Development Kit (JDK) 6
ii sun-java6-jre 6.26-1natty1 Sun Java(TM) Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 (architecture independent files)

On the .log I found this error message:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-pi-gtk-3557 or swt-pi-gtk in swt.library.path, java.library.path or the jar file

Doing a dpkg -S:
dpkg -S swt-pi-gtk*
eclipse-rcp: /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/145/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3557.so

*But*, if I do a find on /usr/lib:
find "/usr/lib" -name "libswt-pi-gtk*"
/usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/146/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3557.so

Notice that one says 145 and the other 146.

Should I re-open this bug or create a new one for Oneiric?

[Alejandro Piñeiro (apinheiro)]

Well, I can't re-open this bug, but just to comment that using eclipse directly from the official webpage is working properly

[John Hoebing (jlhsage)]

Same problem here on Oneiric alpha2 x86_64 updated as of today. I'm going
to remove all my eclipse selections in synaptic and try the official eclipse
webpage download. I think there should be an open bug on this issue.
