    29 <h2>1. <a name="TargetOperatingEnvironments"></a>Target Operating Environments</h2>
       
    30 <p>In order to remain current, each Eclipse release targets reasonably current
       
    31   operating environments. </p>
       
    32 <p>Most of the Eclipse SDK is &quot;pure&quot; Java code and has no direct dependence
       
    33   on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the
       
    34   Java Platform itself. Portions of the Eclipse SDK (including the RCP base,
       
    35   SWT, OSGi and JDT core plug-ins) are targeted to specific classes of operating
       
    36   environments, requiring their source code to only reference facilities available
       
    37   in particular class libraries (e.g. J2ME Foundation 1.0, J2SE 1.3 and 1.4,
       
    38   etc.). </p>
       
    39 <p> In general, the 3.4 release of the Eclipse Project is developed on a mix
       
    40   of Java 1.4 and Java5 VMs. As such, the Eclipse Project SDK as a whole is targeted
       
    41   at both 1.4 and Java5 VMs, with full functionality available for 1.4 level
       
    42   development everywhere, and new Java5 specific capabilities available when
       
    43   running on a Java5 VM. Similarly, in cases where support has been added for
       
    44   Java6 specific features (e.g. JSR-199, JSR-269, etc.) Java6 VMs are required. </p>
       
    45 <p> <a href="#Appendix1">Appendix 1</a> contains a table that indicates the class
       
    46   library level required for each plug-in. </p>
       
    47 <p>There are many different implementations of the Java Platform running atop
       
    48   a variety of operating systems. We focus Eclipse SDK testing on a handful of
       
    49   popular combinations of operating system and Java Platform; these are our <em>reference
       
    50   platforms</em>. Eclipse undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments
       
    51   beyond the reference platforms we test, including those using Java6 VMs. However,
       
    52   since we do not systematically test them we cannot vouch for them. Problems
       
    53   encountered when running Eclipse on a non-reference platform that cannot be
       
    54   recreated on any reference platform will be given lower priority than problems
       
    55   with running Eclipse on a reference platform.</p>
       
    56 <p> The Eclipse SDK 3.4 is tested and validated on the following reference platforms</p>

   159 <p>Because Java 1.4.2 and Java5 based platforms are used for most Eclipse development,
       
   160   those platforms are listed here. Although there are teams doing some Java 6
       
   161   based development we have not included specific Java6 VMs, since they have
       
   162   not yet received the general level of testing we require. <i>We expect that
       
   163   Eclipse will work fine on other current Java VMs running on window systems
       
   164   supported by SWT, but can not flag these as reference platforms without significant
       
   165   community support for testing them.</i></p>
       
   166 <p>Similarly, although untested, the Eclipse SDK should work fine on other OSes
       
   167   that support the same window system. For Win32: NT, 2000, and Server 2003;
       
   168   SWT HTML viewer requires Internet Explorer 5 (or higher). For GTK on other
       
   169   Linux systems: version 2.2.1 of the GTK+ widget toolkit and associated libraries
       
   170   (GLib, Pango); SWT HTML viewer requires Mozilla 1.4GTK2. For Motif on Linux
       
   171   systems: Open Motif 2.1 (included); SWT HTML viewer requires Mozilla 1.4GTK2.</p>
       
   172 <p>SWT is also supported on the QNX Neutrino operating system, x86 processor,
       
   173   Photon window system, and <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/J9">IBM J9&trade; VM</a>.
       
   174   Eclipse 3.4 on Windows or Linux can be used to cross-develop QNX applications.
       
   175   (Eclipse 3.4 is unavailable on QNX because there is currently no 1.5 J2SE for
       
   176   QNX.)</p>
       
   177 <h4>Internationalization</h4>
       
   178 <p>The Eclipse SDK is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The
       
   179   user interface elements provided by the Eclipse SDK components, including dialogs
       
   180   and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the
       
   181   default resource bundles.</p>
       
   182 <p>Latin-1 and DBCS locales are supported by the Eclipse SDK on all reference platforms;
       
   183   BIDI locales are supported by the Eclipse SDK everywhere but on Motif.</p>
       
   184 <p>The Eclipse SDK supports GB 18030 (level 1), the Chinese code page standard,
       
   185   on Windows XP and 2000, Linux/GTK and the Macintosh.</p>
       
   186 <p>German and Japanese locales are tested.</p>

   196   is not supported. There is no guarantee that compliance with Eclipse SDK 3.4
       
   197   APIs would ensure compliance with Eclipse SDK 3.3 APIs. Refer to <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Evolving_Java-based_APIs"> <em>Evolving

   217   opened by Eclipse SDK 3.4 and upgraded to a 3.4 workspace. This includes both
       
   218   hidden metadata, which is localized to a particular workspace, as well as metadata
       
   219   files found within a workspace project (e.g., the .project file), which may
       
   220   propagate between workspaces via file copying or team repositories. Individual
       
   221   plug-ins developed for Eclipse SDK 3.4 should provide similar upwards compatibility
       
   222   for their hidden and visible workspace metadata created by earlier versions;
       
   223   3.4 plug-in developers are responsible for ensuring that their plug-ins recognize
       
   224   3.3, 3.2, 3.1, 3.0, 2.1, and 2.0 metadata and process it appropriately. User
       
   225   interface session state may be discarded when a workspace is upgraded. Downward
       
   226   workspace compatibility is not supported. A workspace created (or opened) by
       
   227   a product based on Eclipse 3.4 will be unusable with a product based an earlier

   230 <p><strong>Non-compliant usage of API's</strong>: All non-API methods and classes,
       
   231   and certainly everything in a package with &quot;internal&quot; in its name,
       
   232   are considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment
       
   233   and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly depend
       
   234   on anything other than what is specified in the Eclipse SDK API are inherently
       
   235   unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility within a single
       
   236   release much less with earlier releases. Refer to <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-API%20use/eclipse-api-usage-rules.html"> <em>How

   270 <h3>3.1.1 <a name="I-General-Startup">General - Startup</a></h3>
       
   271 <h4>Installation/Configuration issues that can cause Eclipse to fail start</h4>
       
   272 <p>Here are some common problems that can cause Eclipse not to start:</p>
       
   273 <ul>
       
   274   <li>As shown <a href="#TargetOperatingEnvironments">above</a>, Eclipse 3.4 requires 
       
   275     at least a 1.4.2 VM. Perhaps an older version of the VM is being found in 
       
   276     your path. To explicitly specify which VM to run with, use the Eclipse <tt>-vm</tt> 
       
   277     command-line argument. (See also the <a href="#Running Eclipse">Running Eclipse</a> 
       
   278     section below.)</li>
       
   279   <li>
       
   280     Running Eclipse on Gentoo Linux may result in the following error message:
       
   281     <div style="margin-left: 40px;">
       
   282 <tt>* run-java-tool is not available for sun-jdk-1.6 on i686<br>* IMPORTANT: some Java tools are not available on some VMs on some architectures</tt>
       
   283     </div>
       
   284 
       
   285 If this occurs, start Eclipse by specifying a -vm argument, either
       
   286 specify the path to a java vm or use: <tt>eclipse -vm `java-config</tt>
       
   287 --java` (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176021">176021</a>)</li>
       
   288 <li>Eclipse must be installed to a clean directory and not installed over top of
       
   289 a previous installation. If you have done this then please re-install to a new
       
   290 directory. If your workspace is in a child directory of your old installation
       
   291 directory, then see the instructions below on "<a href="#upgrading">Upgrading Workspace from a
       
   292 Previous Release"</a>.</li>
       
   293 
       
   294 <li>Java sometimes has difficulty detecting whether a file system is writable. In
       
   295 particular, the method java.io.File.canWrite() appears to return true in
       
   296 unexpected cases (e.g., using Windows drive sharing where the share is a
       
   297 read-only Samba drive). The Eclipse runtime generally needs a writable
       
   298 configuration area and as a result of this problem, may erroneously detect the
       
   299 current configuration location as writable. The net result is that Eclipse will
       
   300 fail to start and depending on the circumstances, may fail to write a log file
       
   301 with any details. To work around this, we suggest users experiencing this
       
   302 problem set their configuration area explicitly using the <tt>-configuration</tt> command
       
   303 line argument. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67719">67719</a>)</li>
       
   304 </ul>
       
   305 
       
   306 <h4><b>Invalid characters in install directory prevents Eclipse from starting</b></h4>
       
   307 <p>Eclipse will fail to launch if installed in a directory whose path
       
   308 contains certain invalid characters, including :%#&lt;&gt;&quot;!. The
       
   309 workaround is to install Eclipse in a directory whose path does not contain
       
   310 invalid characters. (bugs <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3109">3109</a>

   313 <h4>Hanging during class loading when out of permanent generation memory</h4>
       
   314 <p>
       
   315 The Sun VM may hang indefinitely during class loading if it runs out of permanent
       
   316 generation memory.  This will cause CPU usage to stay at 100% until the process
       
   317 is ended.  See the section <a href="#Running Eclipse">Running Eclipse</a> for details
       
   318 on addressing this VM problem.

   320 
       
   321 <h3>3.1.2 <a name="I-General-GCJ">General - GCJ</a></h3>
       
   322 <p>GCJ is an effort by the GCC team to provide an open source Java compiler and
       
   323 runtime environment to interpret Java bytecode. Unfortunately, the GCJ runtime
       
   324 environment is not an environment that is often tested on by Eclipse
       
   325 developers.</p>
       
   326 
       
   327 <p>The most common problems surrounding GCJ are:</p>
       
   328 <ul>
       
   329 <li>Eclipse does not start at all</li>
       
   330 <li>Eclipse throws a 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin' that can be found in the logs (located in
       
   331 workspace/.metadata/.log)</li>
       
   332 </ul>
       
   333 
       
   334 <p>The workspace's log file is a good place to check to identify whether GCJ is
       
   335 being used or not. Every Eclipse log session should be prepended with
       
   336 information about the runtime environment that was used to run Eclipse. The log
       
   337 may include something like the following:</p>
       
   338 
       
   339 <code>java.fullversion=GNU libgcj 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5)</code>
       
   340 
       
   341 <p>If Eclipse does start, one can check which runtime environment is being used to
       
   342 run Eclipse by going to 'Help > About Eclipse SDK > Configuration Details'. The
       
   343 About Dialog itself can also provide other information, the build identifier
       
   344 can be of particular interest as it is tagged by some distributions. This allows the
       
   345 user to identify whether Eclipse was downloaded through the distribution's
       
   346 package management system or directly from the eclipse.org website.</p>
       
   347 
       
   348 Eg: <code>Build id: M20070212-1330 (Ubuntu version: 3.2.2-0ubuntu3)</code>
       
   349 
       
   350 <p>The two most common workarounds are:</p><ul>
       
   351 <li>download the Eclipse binary from eclipse.org directly</li>
       
   352 <li>run Eclipse using an alternate Java runtime environment</li></ul>
       
   353 
       
   354 <p>To download Eclipse, try one of the links below:</p><ul>
       
   355 <li><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/</a></li>
       
   356 <li><a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a></li></ul>
       
   357 
       
   358 It is imperative that 64-bit builds are downloaded and used if a 64-bit Java
       
   359 runtime environment has been installed. Below are two sample tarball names of
       
   360 version 3.4.0 of the Eclipse SDK packaged for 32-bit and 64-bit processors.
       
   361 
       
   362 <pre>eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk.tar.gz (32-bit)
       
   363 eclipse-SDK-3.4-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz (64-bit)</pre>
       
   364 
       
   365 <p>To run Eclipse with an alternate Java runtime environment, the path to the Java
       
   366 virtual machine's binary must be identified. With an Eclipse installation from
       
   367 the distribution, altering the $PATH variable to include the path to the
       
   368 alternate Java runtime environment is often not enough as the Eclipse that
       
   369 Linux distributions package often performs a scan internally to pick up GCJ by
       
   370 itself whilst ignoring what's on the $PATH. An example of the terminal's output
       
   371 is shown below:</p>
       
   372 
       
   373 <code>searching for compatible vm...<br>
       
   374   testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea...not found<br>
       
   375   testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found</code>
       
   376 
       
   377 <p>Once the path to the virtual machine's binary has been identified, try running
       
   378 Eclipse with the following command:</p>
       
   379 
       
   380 <code>./eclipse -vm /path/to/jre/bin/java</code>
       
   381 
       
   382 <p>For an actual example, it might look something like the following:</p>
       
   383 
       
   384 <code>./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/sun-java-6/bin/java<br>
       
   385 ./eclipse -vm /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java</code>
       
   386 
       
   387 <p>If this seems to solve the problem, it is likely that the problem really was
       
   388 related to the use of GCJ as the Java runtime for running Eclipse. The
       
   389 eclipse.ini file located within Eclipse's folder can be altered to
       
   390 automatically pass this argument to Eclipse at startup. An example of its
       
   391 content is presented below:</p>
       
   392 
       
   393 <code>-showsplash<br>
       
   394 org.eclipse.platform<br>
       
   395 --launcher.XXMaxPermSize<br>
       
   396 256m<br>
       
   397 -vm<br>
       
   398 /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java<br>
       
   399 -vmargs<br>
       
   400 -Xms40m<br>
       
   401 -Xmx512m</code>
       
   402 
       
   403 <p>Note that every argument must be on its own line. More information about the
       
   404 eclipse.ini file can be found at <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini</a>.</p>
       
   405 
       
   406 <p>If problems persists after downloading an installation of Eclipse from
       
   407 eclipse.org and using a supported Java runtime environment (a list of which may be found <a href="#TargetOperatingEnvironments">above</a>), 
       
   408 you can seek further assistance through the <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/">newsgroups</a>,

   413 <h3>3.1.3 <a name="I-General-UNC">General - UNC Paths</a></h3>
       
   414 <p>Eclipse 3.4.0 does not properly handle installation in a directory using 
       
   415 Universal Naming Convention (UNC) paths. Limited uses of the platform will
       
   416 work in this environment, but there are known bugs with starting workspaces on
       
   417 a UNC location, or upgrading software installed in a UNC location
       
   418 (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=235629">235629</a>,
       
   419 bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=207103">207103</a>).
       
   420 The platform is not well tested in such an environment.</p>
       
   421 
       
   422 <h3>3.1.3 <a name="I-General-64bitJava">General - 64-bit Java HotSpot(TM) VM</a></h3>
       
   423 <p>
       
   424 There is a known issue with the 64-bit Java HotSpot(TM) 1.6.0 VM compiler which causes eclipse to 
       
   425 crash (see Sun bug <a href="http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6614100">http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6614100</a>,
       
   426 and Eclipse bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=214092">214092</a>).
       
   427 The crash usually occurs within a VM CompilerThread when attempting to compile the method org.eclipse.core.internal.dtree.DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith.
       
   428 </p>
       
   429 
       
   430 <p>
       
   431 To work around the issue you can exclude the method org.eclipse.core.internal.dtree.DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith from being compiled with the following
       
   432 VM argument:
       
   433 </p>
       
   434 
       
   435 <code>

   437 </code>
       
   438 
       
   439 <p>
       
   440 This VM argument can be placed in the eclipse.ini file after the -vmargs line like the following:
       
   441 </p>

   467 <h4>Installing plug-ins by unzipping them into the plugins directory</h4>
       
   468 <p>If you have installed new plug-ins and they aren't showing up when you run,
       
   469 then perhaps you unzipped them into your "plugins" directory and your
       
   470 configuration might need to be refreshed. This can be accomplished by starting

   472 
       
   473 <h4>XML files with UTF-8 byte order mark fail to have content type detected</h4>
       
   474 <p>Eclipse will fail to detect the proper content type for XML files that have a
       
   475 UTF-8 byte order mark if Crimson is the XML parser (as it is on Sun 1.4 JREs,
       
   476 but not on Sun 1.5 JREs). This
       
   477 problem will prevent actions normally available when files of the affected
       
   478 content types are selected from being presented to the user. The workaround is
       
   479 to ensure the default XML parser supports UTF-8 BOMs (such as Xerces does). (bug

   481 <h4>No branding with old config.ini</h4>
       
   482 <p>If you have an old config.ini file and use it with a new Eclipse build, you
       
   483 may not get the correct product branding. This is because the id of the standard
       
   484 Eclipse product changed. Users in shared install scenarios may end up in this
       
   485 situation as previous builds of Eclipse automatically generated config.ini files

   487 update the eclipse.product line to read eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide.</p>

   489 <h4>Problems with
       
   490 classloaders in created threads</h4>
       
   491 <p>There is a known issue with trying to load classes from a newly-created
       
   492 thread using a class loader different from the plug-in class loader. The result
       
   493 will be a <code>ClassNotFoundException</code>. As a workaround, do the
       
   494 following:</p>
       
   495 <ol>
       
   496   <li>Create a thread in which to run your code.</li>
       
   497   <li>Send yourThread.setContextClassLoader(yourClassLoader); // you can find
       
   498     your classloader by grabbing a class it loaded (YourPluginClass.class.getClassLoader())</li>
       
   499   <li>Run your code in the newly created thread.</li>
       
   500 </ol>
       
   501 <p>If you set the context class loader for the current thread, you are
       
   502 competing with other users of the thread (all of Eclipse), so the results will
       
   503 be unpredictable. However, there should be no problem in practice provided you
       
   504 reset the context class loader back to its original value when your use in the
       
   505 current thread is&nbsp;complete. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8907">8907</a>)</p>

   513 <h4>Potential Problems Converting Plug-in Manifests</h4>
       
   514 <p>If your plug-in ships with a plug-in manifest and not an OSGi bundle manifest,
       
   515 is shipped as a JAR file, and contains a nested JAR file then there may be
       
   516 problems in the automatic generation of the bundle manifest file. The packages
       
   517 defined in the nested JAR may not be exported correctly in the <tt>Export-packages</tt>
       
   518 
       
   519 bundle manifest header. To work around this you should ship your plug-in with a
       
   520 bundle manifest. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=97689">97689</a>)</p>

   528 Removing the org.eclipse.update.configurator plug-in from the set of plug-ins to
       
   529 an existing configuration can cause the configuration to become invalid.  This
       
   530 can result in extra plug-ins installed in the target application that are not
       
   531 resolved.  To work around this, after the org.eclipse.update.configurator
       
   532 plug-in has been removed, the target configuration area should be cleared before
       
   533 launching. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85835">85835</a>)</p>

   535 <h4>Issues with JNI that use FindClass</h4>
       
   536 <p>
       
   537 There may be issues when using a JNI implementation that uses FindClass 
       
   538 in a function where the JNIEnv pointer is not available, such as in a C 
       
   539 callback (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=125250">125250</a>).  The reason is that FindClass, in this case, uses the application
       
   540 class loader to find the class.
       
   541 If the desired class is in the classpath used for the application classloader
       
   542 (e.g. defined by the VM argument -cp &lt;classpath&gt;), as it would typically be in 
       
   543 a stand-alone application, there is no problem.  However, under
       
   544 Eclipse, the application classloader does not have access to classes 
       
   545 contained in plug-ins.  Eclipse uses its own class loader to find classes 
       
   546 contained in plug-ins.
       
   547 </p>
       
   548 <p>
       
   549 The proper plug-in class loader is used by FindClass in JNI functions which are 
       
   550 passed the JNIEnv pointer, but not when you have to use AttachCurrentThread to get the 
       
   551 JNIEnv pointer.  In this case the application classloader is used.
       
   552 </p>
       
   553 <p>
       
   554 For example, the following will fail because AttachCurrentThread is used to 
       
   555 get the JNIEnv pointer:</p>
       
   556 <pre>
       
   557 static JavaVM* jvm;  // Global variable
       
   558 
       
   559 void myCallback(void) {
       
   560     JNIEnv* env;
       
   561     jvm->AttachCurrentThread((void**)&amp;env, NULL);
       
   562     // Fails if some/class is not in the application classloader:
       
   563     jclass cls = env->FindClass(&quot;some/class&quot;);
       
   564     jmethodID methodID = env->GetMethodID(cls, &quot;methodName&quot;,
       
   565       &quot;(Ljava/lang/String;)V or whatever signature&quot;);
       
   566     env->CallVoidMethod(callback, methodID, ...);
       
   567     jvm->DetachCurrentThread();
       
   568   }
       
   569 }
       
   570 </pre>
       
   571 <p>
       
   572 A solution is to cache the method ID, for example:
       
   573 </p>
       
   574 <pre>
       
   575 static jmethodID mid;  // Global variable
       
   576 
       
   577 JNIEXPORT jint JNICALL JNI_OnLoad(JavaVM *vm, void *reserved) {
       
   578 ...
       
   579   // Store the JavaVM pointer
       
   580     jvm = vm;
       
   581 
       
   582   // Find the class and store the method ID
       
   583   // Will use the class loader that loaded the JNI library
       
   584     jclass cls = env->FindClass(className&quot;some/class&quot;);
       
   585     if(!cls) goto ERR;
       
   586 
       
   587     mid = env->GetMethodID(cls, &quot;methodName&quot;,
       
   588       &quot;(Ljava/lang/String;)V or whatever signature&quot;);
       
   589     if(!mid) goto ERR;
       
   590 ...
       
   591 }
       
   592 
       
   593 void myCallback(void) {
       
   594     JNIEnv* env;
       
   595     jvm->AttachCurrentThread((void**)&amp;env, NULL);
       
   596     env->CallVoidMethod(callback, mid, ...);
       
   597      // Handle error ...
       
   598     jvm->DetachCurrentThread();
       
   599   }
       
   600 }

   749 
       
   750 <p><strong>Note</strong>: the bug report associated with this problem has been fixed. If you run Eclipse with JDK 1.5 or greater you should not have to use the workaround stated below any longer. However, the problem still exists when running Eclipse with JDK 1.4.x or lower, so in this case  the workaround is still required . </p>
       
   751 <p>The &quot;Text file encoding&quot; value displayed in the Preferences
       
   752   dialog under &quot;Editors&quot; may be wrong on platforms running Windows XP
       
   753 (or 2000) when the user locale and system locale differ.&nbsp;</p>
       
   754 <p>Example of the manifestation of the bug: A Japanese user using Japanese
       
   755 Windows 2000 works in New York, United States. The user has selected English
       
   756 (United States) as the user locale. The &quot;Text file encoding&quot; value
       
   757 displayed by Eclipse is incorrect: &quot;Cp1252&quot; (English). It should
       
   758 display the system locale &quot;MS932&quot; (Japanese).</p>
       
   759 <p>Workaround: The user can modify the user locale so that user locale and
       
   760 system locale are identical. In the example above, this means the user should
       
   761 set Japanese as the user locale. Then restart Eclipse. The &quot;Text file
       
   762 encoding&quot; value will then be correct: &quot;MS932&quot; (Japanese).</p>

   926 check is done at runtime to determine whether the workaround should be used or not.
       
   927 However, Debian backported the GTK+ focus fix into their libgtk+2.0 (2.6.4-2) package,
       
   928 so the SWT workaround and GTK+ fix are both incorrectly applied in this context.
       
   929 </p><p>
       
   930 To work around this problem, either get the Debian unstable version of GTK+, compile your

  1003 <h4> CVS server compatibility</h4>
       
  1004 <p>The CVS plug-in parses messages returned from the CVS server. If the format
       
  1005 of these messages is not as expected, some of the plug-in's functionality may be
       
  1006 missing. The CVS plug-in is compatible with all stable 1.11.X builds of the CVS
       
  1007 server, and should be compatible with future releases in that stream unless text
       
  1008 message formats change (the last tested server was 1.11.22). As for the 1.12.X
       
  1009 feature releases of CVS, the Eclipse CVS client has been tested with builds up
       
  1010 to 1.12.13. However, future releases could easily break the Eclipse CVS client.
       
  1011 Basic functionality, such as Checkout, Commit, and Update, should always work,
       
  1012 but there may be problems with more advanced commands such as Synchronizing and

  1161 <p>If a debug session suspends on a <code>java.lang.StackOverflowError</code>

  1163 retrieve any debug information from the target JVM. As well, the debugger may
       
  1164 not be able to reliably interact with the target JVM past this point. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=19217">19217</a>)</p>
       
  1165 <h4> Evaluation limitation</h4>
       
  1166 <p>The debugger uses threads in the target JVM to perform evaluations (both
       
  1167 explicit evaluations that the user requests, and implicit evaluations such as <code>toString()</code>
       
  1168 invocations in the <b>Variables</b> view). The Java Debug Interface (JDI)
       
  1169 requires that the thread in which an evaluation is performed be suspended by a
       
  1170 user event (that is, a breakpoint or step request). Evaluations cannot be
       
  1171 performed on threads suspended by the suspend action. As well, when a breakpoint
       
  1172 is configured to suspend the JVM rather than just the individual thread, the
       
  1173 threads which did not encounter the breakpoint are not in a valid state to
       
  1174 perform an evaluation. When an evaluation is attempted in a thread that is not
       
  1175 in a valid state to perform an evaluation, an error message will appear to the
       
  1176 effect of &quot;Thread must be suspended by step or breakpoint to perform method
       
  1177 invocation&quot;. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34440">34440</a>)</p>
       
  1178 
       
  1179 <h4> Missing debug attributes</h4>
       
  1180 The debugger requires that class files be compiled with debug attributes if
       
  1181 it is to be able to display line numbers and local variables. Quite often, class
       
  1182 libraries (for example, &quot;<code>rt.jar</code>&quot;) are compiled without
       
  1183 complete debug attributes, and thus local variables and method arguments for
       
  1184 those classes are not visible in the debugger.
       
  1185 <h4> Using Hot Code Replace</h4>
       
  1186 <p>Hot code replace is supported on JDK 1.4.x VMs, and IBM J9 VMs. The debugger
       
  1187 will attempt to replace all class files that change in the workspace as the user
       
  1188 edits and builds source code. However, hot code replace is limited to changes
       
  1189 that a particular virtual machine implementation supports. For example, changes
       
  1190 within existing methods may be supported, but the addition or removal of members
       
  1191 may not be.</p>
       
  1192 <p>Note that hot code replace and stepping on JDK 1.4.0 VMs was unreliable. The
       
  1193 underlying VM problems were fixed in JDK 1.4.1, and later.</p>
       
  1194 <h4> Scrapbook</h4>
       
  1195 Setting a breakpoint inside a scrapbook page is not supported.
       
  1196 
       
  1197 <p>When a snippet is run in the scrapbook which directly or indirectly calls <code>System.exit(int)</code>,
       
  1198 the evaluation cannot be completed, and will result in a stack trace for a <code>com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException</code>
       
  1199 being displayed in the scrapbook editor.</p>
       
  1200 <p>Terminating a scrapbook page while it is performing an evaluation results
       
  1201 in a <code>com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException</code> being displayed in the
       
  1202 scrapbook editor.</p>
       
  1203 <h4> Debugging over slow
       
  1204 connections</h4>
       
  1205 A global Java debug preference specifies the debugger timeout, which is the
       
  1206 maximum amount of time the debugger waits for a response from the target VM
       
  1207 after making a request of that VM. Slow connections may require that this value
       
  1208 be increased. The timeout value can be edited from the <b>Java &gt; Debug </b>preference
       
  1209 page. Changing the timeout value only effects subsequently launched VM, not VMs
       
  1210 that are already running.
       
  1211 
       
  1212 <h4> Updating of inspected values</h4>
       
  1213 When inspecting the result of an evaluated expression in the debugger, it is
       
  1214 important to note that the result displayed is the result of that expression at
       
  1215 the time it was evaluated. For example, when inspecting a simple integer counter
       
  1216 (primitive data type), the value displayed in the Expressions view is the value
       
  1217 when the expression was evaluated. As the counter is changed in the running
       
  1218 program, the inspected result will not change (since the view is not displaying
       
  1219 the value bound to a variable - it is displaying the value of an expression, and
       
  1220 the value of a primitive data type cannot change). However, if an expression
       
  1221 results in an object, fields of that object will be updated in the inspector as

  1223 can change).
       
  1224 <h4> Stepping over native methods
       
  1225 that perform I/O</h4>
       
  1226 When the debugger steps over native methods that perform I/O to <code>System.out</code>
       
  1227 or <code>System.err</code>, the output may not appear immediately unless the
       
  1228 native performs a flush on the output buffer.

  1231 Terminating a launch, debug target, or system process associated with a debug
       
  1232 target running on the IBM 1.3 JVM on the Linux platform does not work when the
       
  1233 associated debug target has a suspended thread. To remove such debug targets
       
  1234 from the debug UI, select <b>Terminate and Remove</b> from the debug view's
       
  1235 pop-up menu (or use the shortcut &quot;delete&quot; key). Associated system
       
  1236 processes in the OS may not be properly cleaned up. If a debug target has no
       
  1237 suspended threads, termination works properly. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1631">1631</a>)

  1255 <p>When a non-source page of the feature manifest editor is used, PDE will convert
       
  1256 changes back into XML by regenerating the file. Although the overall content and

  1258 <h4>PDE will not unzip source zips of some plug-ins</h4>
       
  1259 <p>In the plug-in import wizard, when you choose to import plug-ins as
       
  1260 &quot;projects with source folders&quot;, PDE will not unzip the source for the
       
  1261 org.apache.ant, org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry, org.eclipse.osgi.util and org.eclipse.osgi.services. This is
       
  1262 because the source ZIPs contains code that will not compile when unzipped as it
       
  1263 requires additional JARs that are not part of the SDK. To avoid the creation of
       
  1264 plug-in projects that won't compile, PDE will import these plug-ins as binary
       
  1265 and attach source, so you would still be able to read the source, you just won't
       
  1266 be able to modify it. Also, PDE will not unzip the source for the
       
  1267 org.eclipse.swt plug-ins. In this case, it is because, when shipped, the swt
       
  1268 code is spread across a plug-in and a fragment, and when unzipped, it will
       
  1269 require circular dependencies between the plug-in and fragment projects. These
       
  1270 circular dependencies are at minimum marked as warnings by the JDT compiler and
       
  1271 may result in unpredictable build behavior. Therefore, PDE always imports
       
  1272 org.eclipse.swt as binary with source attached. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66314">66314</a>)</p>

  1281 versions to coexist if the only thing they contribute is run-time libraries.
       
  1282 However, PDE cannot handle these plug-ins because it creates project names using

  1303 <h4>Target Platform only sees installed plug-ins</h4>
       
  1304 <p>With the new p2 provisioning system in 3.4, PDE introduced a preference to control how target platforms are built. 
       
  1305 By default, this preference is on if your target equals your host, otherwise it's off. When this preference is enabled, PDE attempts to
       
  1306 read a target platform's configuration and build the target platform based in the target's list of installed plug-ins. If a configuration
       
  1307 can't be found (a bundles.info or platform.xml file), PDE will simply manually scan the target directory and populate the target platform's
       
  1308 list of plug-ins.

  1318 <h2>4. <a name="Running Eclipse">Running Eclipse</a></h2>
       
  1319 <p>After installing the Eclipse SDK in a directory, you can start the Workbench
       
  1320 by running the Eclipse executable included with the release (you also need a 1.4.2
       
  1321 JRE, not included with the Eclipse SDK). On Windows, the executable file is called <samp>eclipse.exe</samp>,
       
  1322 and is located in the <code>eclipse</code> sub-directory of the install. If
       
  1323 installed at <code>c:\eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32</code>, the executable is <code>c:\eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exe</code>.
       
  1324 
       
  1325 <b>Note:</b> Set-up on most other operating environments is analogous. Special
       
  1326 instructions for Mac OS X are listed <a href="#macosx">below</a>.</p>
       
  1327 
       
  1328 <h3>Allocating enough memory and solving OutOfMemoryErrors</h3>
       
  1329 <p>By default, Eclipse will allocate up to 256 megabytes of Java heap memory. This should
       
  1330 be ample for all typical development tasks. However, depending on the JRE
       
  1331 that you are running, the number of additional plug-ins you are using, and
       
  1332 the number of files you will be working with, you could conceivably have to increase this amount. 
       
  1333 Eclipse allows you to pass arguments directly to the Java VM using the
       
  1334 <code>-vmargs</code> command line argument, which must follow all other Eclipse specific arguments.
       
  1335 Thus, to increase the available heap memory, you would typically use:</p>
       
  1336 <blockquote>
       
  1337   <p><code>eclipse -vmargs -Xmx&lt;memory size&gt;</code></p>
       
  1338 </blockquote>
       
  1339 <p>with the <code>&lt;memory size&gt;</code> value set to greater than
       
  1340 &quot;256M&quot; (256 megabytes -- the default). 
       
  1341 </p>
       
  1342 <p>
       
  1343 When using a Sun VM, you may also need to increase the size of the permanent
       
  1344 generation memory.  The default maximum is 64 megabytes, but more may
       
  1345 be needed depending on your plug-in configuration and use.  When the VM runs
       
  1346 out of permanent generation memory, it may crash or hang during class loading.
       
  1347 This failure is less common when using Sun JRE version 1.5.0_07 or greater.
       
  1348 The maximum permanent generation size is increased using the -XX:MaxPermSize=&lt;memory size&gt; argument:</p>
       
  1349 <blockquote>
       
  1350   <p><code>eclipse -vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=&lt;memory size&gt;</code></p>
       
  1351 </blockquote>
       
  1352 <p>This argument may not be available for all VM versions and platforms; consult your VM documentation
       
  1353 for more details.
       
  1354 </p>
       
  1355 <p>
       
  1356 Note that setting memory sizes to be larger than the amount of available physical
       
  1357 memory on your machine will cause Java to &quot;thrash&quot; as it copies objects
       
  1358 back and forth to virtual memory, which will severely degrade your performance.
       
  1359 </p>
       
  1360 <h3>Selecting a workspace</h3>
       
  1361 <p>When the Workbench is launched, the first thing you see is a 
       
  1362 dialog that allows you to select where the workspace will be located. The
       
  1363 workspace is the directory where your work will be stored.
       
  1364 If you do not specify otherwise, Eclipse creates the workspace in your
       
  1365 user directory.
       
  1366 This workspace directory is used as the default content area for your projects
       
  1367 as well as for holding any required metadata. For shared or multi-workspace
       
  1368 installs you must explicitly specify the location for your workspace using the
       
  1369 dialog (or via the &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot; command line argument).</p>
       
  1370 <h3>Specifying the Java virtual machine</h3>
       
  1371 <p>Here is a typical Eclipse command line:&nbsp;</p>
       
  1372 
       
  1373 <blockquote>
       
  1374   <p><code>eclipse -vm c:\jdk1.4.2\jre\bin\javaw</code></p>
       
  1375 </blockquote>
       
  1376 <p><i>Tip:</i> It's generally a good idea to explicitly specify which Java VM to
       
  1377 use when running Eclipse. This is achieved with the &quot;<code>-vm</code>&quot;
       
  1378 command line argument as illustrated above. If you don't use &quot;<code>-vm</code>&quot;,
       
  1379 Eclipse will look on the O/S path. When you install other Java-based products,
       
  1380 they may change your path and could result in a different Java VM being used
       
  1381 when you next launch Eclipse.</p>
       
  1382 <p>To create a Windows shortcut to an installed Eclipse:</p>
       
  1383 <ol>
       
  1384   <li>Navigate to <code>eclipse.exe</code> in Windows Explorer and use Create
       
  1385     Shortcut on the content menu.</li>
       
  1386   <li>Select the shortcut and edit its Properties. In the Target: field append
       
  1387     the command line arguments.</li>
       
  1388 </ol>
       
  1389 <p>Opening this shortcut launches Eclipse. (You can drag the shortcut to the 
       
  1390 Windows Desktop if you want to keep it in easy reach.)</p>
       
  1391 
       
  1392 <h3><a name="macosx">Mac OS X</a></h3>
       
  1393 <p>On Mac OS X, you start Eclipse by double clicking the Eclipse application. If you need to 
       
  1394 pass arguments to Eclipse, you'll have to edit the <code>eclipse.ini</code> file
       
  1395 inside the Eclipse application bundle: select the Eclipse application bundle icon while holding down the Control Key.
       
  1396 This will present you with a popup menu. Select &quot;Show Package Contents&quot; in the popup menu.
       
  1397 Locate <code>eclipse.ini</code> file in the <code>Contents/MacOS</code> sub-folder and open it with your favorite text editor to edit the command line options.
       
  1398 </p>
       
  1399 
       
  1400 <p>
       
  1401 On MacOS X you can only launch a UI program more then once if you have separate
       
  1402 copies of the program on disk. The reason for this behavior is that every UI
       
  1403 application on Mac can open multiple documents, so typically there is no need
       
  1404 to open a program twice. Since Eclipse cannot open more than one workspace, this means you have to make
       
  1405 a copy of the Eclipse install if you want to open more then one workspace at
       
  1406 the same time (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139319">139319</a>).
       
  1407 </p>
       
  1408 
       
  1409 <p>If you need to launch Eclipse from the command line, you can use the symbolic link &quot;eclipse&quot; in the
       
  1410 top-level eclipse folder. It refers to the eclipse executable inside the application bundle and takes
       
  1411 the same arguments as &quot;eclipse.exe&quot; on other platforms. 
       
  1412 </p>
       
  1413 <p>On Mac OS X 10.4 and later, you may notice a slow down when working with significant
       
  1414 numbers of resources if you allow Spotlight to index your workspace. To prevent this, start
       
  1415 System Preferences, select the Spotlight icon, then the Privacy tab, then click the Add button
       
  1416 (&quot;+&quot;) and find your workspace directory in the dialog that appears.</p>
       
  1417 <h3><a name="SharedInstall">Shared Install</a></h3>
       
  1418 <p>The startup speed of a shared install can be improved if proper cache information is stored in the shared 
       
  1419 install area. To achieve this, after unzipping Eclipse distribution, run Eclipse once with the &quot;-initialize&quot; 
       
  1420 option from an account that has a write access to the install directory.</p>

  1428   <li>Find the workspace directory used by your old version of Eclipse.
       
  1429     Typically this is located inside the directory in which Eclipse was
       
  1430     installed in a sub-directory called &quot;<code>workspace</code>&quot;. If
       
  1431     you are using a shortcut or script to launch Eclipse, then it will be under
       
  1432     the current working directory of that shortcut or script in a sub-directory
       
  1433     called &quot;workspace&quot;. For Windows users, this is specified by the
       
  1434     &quot;Start in:&quot; argument in your shortcut properties.</li>
       
  1435   <li>Copy this workspace directory to a new, empty location outside of any
       
  1436     Eclipse install directory.</li>
       
  1437   <li>Install the new version of Eclipse in a new location, separate from any
       
  1438     old version of Eclipse.</li>
       
  1439 
       
  1440   <li>If you had installed additional features and plug-ins into your old
       
  1441     Eclipse, you should re-install them in the new Eclipse.</li>
       
  1442   <li>Start this new version of Eclipse and select
       
  1443     this location using the workspace chooser dialog at startup (or use &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot;
       
  1444     command line argument to pre-select the workspace location).</li>
       
  1445 </ol>
       
  1446 <h3>Users who do use &quot;-data&quot;</h3>
       
  1447 <p>If you were previously using the &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot; argument to
       
  1448 start Eclipse, your upgrade path is much easier:</p>
       
  1449 
       
  1450 <ol>
       
  1451   <li>Optionally copy your workspace directory to a new, empty location outside of any
       
  1452     Eclipse install directory as a backup.</li>
       
  1453   <li>Install the new version of Eclipse in a new location, separate from any
       
  1454     old versions of Eclipse.</li>
       
  1455   <li>If you had installed additional features and plug-ins into your old
       
  1456     Eclipse, you should re-install them in the new Eclipse.</li>
       
  1457   <li>Start this new version of Eclipse and select this location using the workspace chooser dialog at
       
  1458     startup (or use &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot;

  1478 with shared metadata. However, when some developers are working in Eclipse 3.4
       
  1479 while others are working in Eclipse 3.3, there are no such guarantees.
       
  1480 This section provides advice for what to do and not to do. It addresses the
       
  1481 specific issues with the Eclipse SDK.</p>
       
  1482 
       
  1483 <p>The typical failure mode is noticed by the 3.4 user. 3.4 metadata is lost
       
  1484 when a 3.3 user saves changes and then commits the updated metadata files to the
       
  1485 repository. Here's how things typically go awry:</p>
       
  1486 <ul>
       
  1487   <li>A user working in Eclipse 3.4 creates or modifies a project in a way that
       
  1488     results in changes to a shared metadata file that rely on 3.4-specific
       
  1489     information. The user then commits the updated project files, including the
       
  1490     shared metadata file, to the shared repository.</li>
       
  1491   <li>Another user working in Eclipse 3.3 shares this project from the same
       
  1492     repository. The 3.4-specific information in the shared metadata file is not
       
  1493     understood by Eclipse 3.3, and is generally discarded or ignored without
       
  1494     warning. The user modifies the project in a way that results in changes to
       
  1495     the shared metadata file, causing the shared metadata file to be rewritten
       
  1496     without any of the 3.4-specific information. The user commits the updated
       
  1497     project files, including the shared metadata file, to the shared repository.
       
  1498     The user is generally unaware that shared information has just been lost as
       
  1499     a result of their actions.</li>
       
  1500   <li>A user working in Eclipse 3.4 picks up the changes to a project from the
       
  1501     shared repository, including the updated shared metadata file. The user may
       
  1502     be unaware that they have just taken a retrograde step until later when
       
  1503     things start to malfunction.</li>
       
  1504 </ul>
       
  1505 <p>Here are some things to watch out for when sharing projects between
       
  1506 Eclipse 3.4 and Eclipse 3.1 or earlier:</p>
       
  1507 <ul>
       
  1508   <li><b>Linked resources in the .project file</b><br>
       
  1509   Eclipse 3.4 supports creating linked resources at arbitrary depth within a project,
       
  1510   and supports creating linked resources referring to other file systems. Neither of
       
  1511   these scenarios are supported in Eclipse 3.1 or earlier.  If such linked resources
       
  1512   are created in 3.4, and the project is subsequently loaded into an Eclipse 3.1
       
  1513   or earlier workspace, these links will not be recognized.  Recommendation:
       
  1514   avoid creating links at arbitrary depth or to other file systems where project
       
  1515   compatibility with Eclipse 3.1 or earlier is required.</li>
       
  1516 </ul>
       
  1517 <h4>Using Eclipse 3.4 to develop plug-ins that work in Eclipse 3.3</h4>
       
  1518 <p>It is also possible (and reasonable) to use Eclipse 3.4 to develop a plug-in 
       
  1519   intended to work in Eclipse 3.3 or earlier. Use the <b>Plug-in Development &gt; 
       
  1520   Target Platform </b>preference page to locate non-workspace plug-ins in an Eclipse 
       
  1521   3.3 install. This ensures that the code for your plug-in is being compiled and 
       
  1522   tested against Eclipse 3.3 APIs, extension points, and plug-ins. (The above 
       
  1523   list of concerns do not apply since they affect the layout and interpretation 
       
  1524   of files in the plug-in <i>project</i> but none affect the actual deployed form 
       
  1525   of the plug-in.)</p>
