Hello everybody,
a few days ago, my Eclipse installation (which had worked fine for some months before that) stopped working. Eclipse will start, but only to the end of its initialization routine. The splash screen does not disappear.
I realize this is no Eclipse support list, and hence will just point to my more detailed error description on Eclipse's newsgroups [1]. However, I'm out of ideas at the moment regarding possible causes for that error. So I'd like to ask here whether anyone thinks that any updates to Arch that appeared in the last three weeks or so might cause problems with Java programs in general, or more specifically with SWT. Perhaps someone even noticed the same problem?
I'd be thankful for all hints.
I'm using eclipse on arch64 running the sun-jre every day (I hope this some hope you'll get your problem sorted ^^) Please download a fresh eclipse from eclipse.org. What jre are you using? Does it crash even if you start a new workspace? If Eclipse crashes, it writes a log into the dir you started eclipse from. Starting it via mouse click means $HOME is the this dir. Please look into the log file. A problem I had was http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.arch.general/15891/focus=15892 maybe this is your issue too. -- Maik
