Hi Folks,
Something odd happened recently. I was using Eclipse and MyEclipse on Friday and on Monday the MyEclipse perspective went missing.

System Info:
Fedora Core 2 Upgraded from Core 1 (On tuesday)
Eclipse Ver. 3.0 M7
MyEclipse 3.7.1 (not in Fetures Directory)
I did a fresh Install of Eclipse for MyEclipse.
Plugins:
JFaceDbs 2.2.1
AnyEdit .7
XMLBuddy 2.0.2
MemoryManger 1.0
Umlet 1.0
CommonJ 2.0
SlimeUML 1.3.1
Quantum 2.3
DBEdit 1.0.1

I have 8 Plugins that are like org.eclipse.pde
Java 1.4.2_04
App Server JBoss 2.4 (I’m not sure) with same Java version.
I found no log file at all.

I recently received a new machine with 2 Gb Ram and put Fedora Core 1 on it. I tared up my Home and Opt directories from the Old machine and put them on the new machine. Then I wiped the Old machine clean. It worked for about the first week and then MyEclipse isn’t there any more.

Will I need to Re-install MyEclispe?

Thanks,

-Ray

Ray,
That does sound strange.
Also your log file is located at: ~/workspace/.metadata/.log, if you could grab the last 2 or 3 entries starting with “!SESSION——–” and paste them here, that would be great.

Hi Folks,
I can’t see it anywhere.

I’ll just upgrade to 3.0M8.

Anyway, here’s the last couple of sessions…

Ray,
Things don’t look so good in those stack traces, those are core Eclipse errors not even ME errors. You might try moving your workspace directory someplace, and restarting Eclipse to let it recreate it, then copy your project folders back and reimport them (don’t forget to export any settings you want).

Upgrading between dev builds like that and just keeping the same workspace dir can be risky. A lot changes/gets corrupt between M builds.

Hi Riyad,

I did as you said, and I got to my second project and It locked up. The whole system locked up. I’m checking if the system is the problem or Eclipse.

Thanks,

Oh geez… when you say locked up, do you mean froze, or blue screened? If it blue screened, AND you have an ATI graphics card, then you will need to update your ATI graphics drivers as there is a known problem with ATI drivers and certain versions of 1.4 blue screening the computer on Windows due to Direct3D acceleration of Swing/Java2D.

Not that Eclipse is using Swing, but it could be the same problem triggered in another fashion…

I got my signals crossed, getting overwhelmed by posts currently.

When the system locks does a ALT-CTRL-BACKSPACE do anything? Can you SSH into the machine atleast or is it hard-core locked? If it is, I’d download and run memtest86 for a while to see if its bad ram. You can also try stressing the system with Seti@Home overnight to see if that’s the problem too (faulty CPU/Mobo).

I’ll try to ssh into the box and see if its the box.

I don’t have Seti here.

Thaks for your time.

I can’t ssh into the box either. I use an app called Metabind, a mapper/parser, It seems to cause this lock up everytime I start it.
I remove a couple of plugins from eclipse and it seems to be working better.

Thanks for your time.

I’m glad you are up and running now.

It seems to be a hard drive address failure that is causing all of this…. I have it fixed, now we start over and see.

Thanks for your time.

O.k. this answer is a little bit late by now but I encountered exactly the same behaviour on eclipse 2.1.* by upgrading from Redhat 9 linux to fedora core 2, namely the missing perspective chooser on eclipse’s left window border. And I can’t upgrade since the jfacedbc plugin in it’s free version is only working until 3.0M7 were the problem in question ist still present. I suspect it is due to changes in the gtk implementation. As a workaround you may copy /usr/lib from an “old” system to e.g. /usr/lib/eclipse/oldlib. Then after”export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/eclipse/oldlib:” and restarting eclipse in this environment the problem disappears. To get the old GTK libraries working correctly you also have to copy some necessary files, e.g. in my case of an old system mounted to /mnt/root:

cp -a /mnt/root/usr/lib/pango/1.1.0/ /usr/lib/pango
cp /mnt/root/etc/pango/pango.modules /etc/pango/

Clearly this “solution” is ugly. It may be possible to fiddle out the minimal set of old libraries being required to get the beast working. But it doesn’t seem to be straightforward (linker errors, segfaults) to find it.

Martin,
Thank you for posting your workaround for other users. I’ve just gotten used to clicking on the 1-px wide buttons 😀

hi all

i also had the problem with the 1px wide buttons in the perspective chooser.
found a description and a solution here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=152140

i downgraded gtk+ from 2.4.1 to 2.2.4-r1 and now the buttons are as they’re supposed to be. all back to normal 😉

hth
cheers
