Description Casual J. Programmer 2008-01-06 00:28:41 UTC

eclipse starts, asks for the workspace to use, then triggers a bug buddy message.

Same behavior for normal user as well as root.

If a nonexisting workspace is chosen, it is created and eclipse starts normal.

bug buddy report on incident

The report states:
Backtrace was generated from '/usr/lib/Eclipse'
This is in error, there is no directory or file "Eclipse" in /usr/lib

Eclipse is installed in /usr/local/eclipse

and did work nicely until now.

Comment 3 Alberto Passalacqua 2008-04-20 23:12:02 UTC

Moving it to beta 1.

eclipse bugreport

Using opensuse 11.0 beta1 & eclipse-3.3-130 package.

Crash on first time execution of eclipse, I mean when there is no $HOME/.eclipse directory, after loading finishes.

Crash generates above attached reports. Once it crashes, it starts up without problem but doesn't ask workspace. It runs with $HOME/.eclipse as a workspace path so I have to manually change to workspace path mine everytime.

Deleting $HOME/.eclipse & running again can reproduce this bug.

Same in beta 2. Moving...

Comment 7 Casual J. Programmer 2008-05-04 08:46:38 UTC

This is a duplicate of Bug 293439, also it's been fixed in eclipse.org

also as a hint for people wanting to _use_ eclipse, install it directly from eclipse.org, there's no need for an openSuSE package, as far as I can see, as they have their own update and configuration service. Works nicely for me.

Comment 8 Alberto Passalacqua 2008-05-04 17:11:26 UTC

I don't see the point in providing a broken package and then asking the user to install it directly from the original source.

If a package is provided, in principle it should work out of the box. If it's broken it causes a damage to the distribution and its image, so better to drop it.

Alberto
