| Eclipse Project SDK R3.1 - SWT Release Notes | +
The SWT Browser widget uses a platform-specific web browser to render HTML. +The org.eclipse.swt.SWTError exception ("No more handles") is thrown +on platforms that don't meet the requirements for running the Browser widget. +Supported platforms and prerequisites are listed on the SWT FAQ item + +"Which platforms are supported by the SWT Browser?".
+ +With some versions of Synergy from Telelogic, Eclipse will crash when you try to open a file
+dialog. This is due to a problem with the CMExplorer.dll. The workaround is to
+upgrade to Synergy 6.4 (or higher) or to run "regsvr32 /u CMExplorer.dll" and
+reboot (note that this will disable Active CM).
+(bug 87798)
With Acrobat Reader 6 or 7, some users have experienced an unresponsive user +interface for up to two minutes when closing a browser which is displaying a PDF document. +The workaround is to disable displaying PDF in the browser. In Adobe Reader +select Edit > Preferences... > Internet and uncheck 'Display PDF in browser'. +(bug 56184)
+ +Some users who have installed Service Pack 2 on Windows XP have experienced +crashes while using editors in Eclipse. The workaround is to place a working version +of Windows\System32\USP10.DLL in the Eclipse startup directory or uninstall +Service Pack 2. +(bug 56390)
+ +Some versions of RedHat Linux such as Fedora Core 3 and Enterprise Linux WS +release 4 use a new technology called IIIM (Intranet/Internet Input Method +Framework) to replace the old XIM (X input method). When running on these +new systems, Eclipse will crash if you attempt to enter any DBCS character. The +workaround is to use a XIM based input method such as chinput. This problem +may be fixed in newer releases of RedHat. +(bug 89722)
+ +The Linux-motif build of Eclipse does not launch properly when run on a +computer with Xinerama (provides support for dual head monitors) and a UTF-8 +locale. The workaround for this problem is to change the locale to a non-UTF-8 +value, or to disable Xinerama. +(bug 38843) +
+ +Users of the Bluecurve theme shipped with RedHat Linux 9 may experience problems running Eclipse. +These problems may include crashes or reduced performance. We recommend changing to a different theme. +(bugs 38305, +67906, +37683, +58738)
+ +If the application that is supplying the clipboard material is unresponsive, +the paste operation hangs Eclipse for several minutes. This situation can be +encountered when copying from an Eclipse target workbench, suspending the target +workbench at a breakpoint and pasting into the hosting Eclipse workbench. +(bug 44915)
+ +When configured for the simplified Chinese locale, it is not possible to +drag data between applications running on the Motif window system. This is a +known limitation of the Open Motif library. +(bug 29777)
+ +There is a known AIX graphics bug affecting certain levels of AIX +releases. Ensure that the AIX install includes the necessary service updates as +described in the "Install notes/requirements for Eclipse on AIX" +attachment to the Eclipse bug report. +(bug 34524)
+ +Typically, in Gnome Linux installs running with 8-bit visuals (i.e. 256 +color mode), before the Eclipse application is started there are no free colors. +This may mean that Eclipse is unable to allocate the default widget background +color, causing it to display a white background. The functionality, however, is +otherwise unaffected.
+ +On Windows NT only, you should avoid creating items in a List
+or ComboBox with strings longer than 1000 characters. Doing so may
+result in a General Protection Fault. This has been fixed in more recent
+versions of Windows.
When using Linux GTK 2.2.1, there are some scenarios where the CPU usage +goes to 100% for no good reason. When this occurs, resizing or closing the +dialog seems to return the CPU usage to normal. +(bug 35443)
+ +When using Linux Motif and GB18030 IME "chinput", Eclipse can +crash if the IME client window is left open when the parent window is disposed. +(bug 32045)
+ +On QNX Photon and IBM AIX, the SWT library will not be found when running +with an IBM J9 1.5 VM. This is a bug in the IBM J9 class library in version 1.5. +You can workaround this problem by adding the SWT library directory to your +LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable.
+ +When retrieving the SWT Motif fragment into an Eclipse workspace, the
+permissions of the native libraries are reset. This creates a problem on HP-UX
+because shared libraries need to have execute permission. Attempting to
+self-host with this fragment throws an UnsatisfiedLinkError...Permission Denied
+error. You must manually change the permissions to make these libraries
+accessible (assume the workspace is at /workspace):

cd /workspace/org.eclipse.swt.motif/os/hpux/PA_RISC
