    27 <h2>1. <a name="TargetOperatingEnvironments"></a>Target Operating Environments</h2>
       
    28 <p>In order to remain current, each Eclipse Project release targets reasonably current
       
    29   operating environments.</p>
       
    30 <p>Most of the Eclipse SDK is &quot;pure&quot; Java code and has no direct dependence
       
    31   on the underlying operating system. The chief dependence is therefore on the
       
    32   Java Platform itself. Portions are targeted to specific classes of operating
       
    33   environments, requiring their source code to only reference facilities available
       
    34   in particular class libraries (e.g. J2ME Foundation 1.0, J2SE 1.3 and 1.4,
       
    35   etc.).</p>
       
    36 
       
    37 <p>In general, the 3.5 release of the Eclipse Project is developed on a mix
       
    38   of Java 1.4, Java 5 and Java 6 VMs. As such, the Eclipse SDK as a whole
       
    39   is targeted at all modern, desktop Java VMs. Full functionality is available for
       
    40   1.4 level development everywhere, and extended development capabilities are made
       
    41   available on the VMs that support them.</p>
       
    42 <p><a href="#Appendix1">Appendix 1</a> contains a table that indicates the class
       
    43   library level required for each bundle.</p>
       
    44 <p>There are many different implementations of the Java Platform running atop
       
    45   a variety of operating systems. We focus our testing on a handful of
       
    46   popular combinations of operating system and Java Platform; these are our <em>reference
       
    47   platforms</em>. Eclipse undoubtedly runs fine in many operating environments
       
    48   beyond the reference platforms we test. However, since we do not systematically test
       
    49   them we cannot vouch for them. Problems encountered when running Eclipse on a
       
    50   non-reference platform that cannot be recreated on any reference platform will
       
    51   be given lower priority than problems with running Eclipse on a reference platform.</p>
       
    52 <p>Eclipse 3.5 is tested and validated on the following reference platforms</p>

   186 <h4>Internationalization</h4>
       
   187 <p>The Eclipse SDK is designed as the basis for internationalized products. The

   189   and error messages, are externalized. The English strings are provided as the
       
   190   default resource bundles.</p>
       
   191 
       
   192 <p>Latin-1 and DBCS locales are supported by the Eclipse SDK on all reference platforms;
       
   193   BIDI locales are supported by the Eclipse SDK everywhere but on Motif.</p>
       
   194 <p>The Eclipse SDK supports GB 18030 (level 1), the Chinese code page standard,
       
   195   on Windows XP and 2000, Linux/GTK and the Macintosh.</p>
       
   196 <p>German and Japanese locales are tested.</p>

   238   opened by Eclipse SDK 3.5 and upgraded to a 3.5 workspace. This includes both
       
   239   hidden metadata, which is localized to a particular workspace, as well as metadata
       
   240   files found within a workspace project (e.g., the .project file), which may
       
   241   propagate between workspaces via file copying or team repositories. Individual
       
   242   plug-ins developed for Eclipse SDK 3.5 should provide similar upwards compatibility
       
   243   for their hidden and visible workspace metadata created by earlier versions;
       
   244   3.5 plug-in developers are responsible for ensuring that their plug-ins recognize
       
   245   metadata from earlier versions and process it appropriately. User
       
   246   interface session state may be discarded when a workspace is upgraded. Downward
       
   247   workspace compatibility is not supported. A workspace created (or opened) by
       
   248   a product based on Eclipse 3.5 will be unusable with a product based on an earlier
       
   249   version of Eclipse. Visible metadata files created (or overwritten) by Eclipse
       
   250   3.5 will generally be unusable with earlier versions of Eclipse. </p>

   252 <p><strong>Non-compliant usage of API's</strong>: All non-API methods and classes,
       
   253   and certainly everything in a package with &quot;internal&quot; in its name,
       
   254   are considered implementation details which may vary between operating environment
       
   255   and are subject to change without notice. Client plug-ins that directly depend
       
   256   on anything other than what is specified in the Eclipse SDK API are inherently
       
   257   unsupportable and receive no guarantees about compatibility within a single
       
   258   release much less with earlier releases. Refer to

   293 <h4>Installation/Configuration issues that can cause Eclipse to fail start</h4>
       
   294 <p>Here are some common problems that can cause Eclipse not to start:</p>
       
   295 <ul>
       
   296   <li>As shown <a href="#TargetOperatingEnvironments">above</a>, Eclipse 3.5 requires 
       
   297     at least a 1.4.2 VM. Perhaps an older version of the VM is being found in 
       
   298     your path. To explicitly specify which VM to run with, use the Eclipse <tt>-vm</tt> 
       
   299     command-line argument. (See also the <a href="#Running Eclipse">Running Eclipse</a> 
       
   300     section below.)</li>
       
   301   <li>
       
   302     Running Eclipse on Gentoo Linux may result in the following error message:
       
   303     <div style="margin-left: 40px;">
       
   304 <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>
       
   305     </div>
       
   306 
       
   307 If this occurs, start Eclipse by specifying a -vm argument, either
       
   308 specify the path to a java vm or use: <tt>eclipse -vm `java-config</tt>
       
   309 --java` (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=176021">176021</a>)</li>
       
   310 <li>Eclipse must be installed to a clean directory and not installed over top of
       
   311 a previous installation. If you have done this then please re-install to a new
       
   312 directory. If your workspace is in a child directory of your old installation
       
   313 directory, then see the instructions below on "<a href="#upgrading">Upgrading Workspace from a
       
   314 Previous Release"</a>.</li>
       
   315 
       
   316 <li>Java sometimes has difficulty detecting whether a file system is writable. In
       
   317 particular, the method java.io.File.canWrite() appears to return true in
       
   318 unexpected cases (e.g., using Windows drive sharing where the share is a
       
   319 read-only Samba drive). The Eclipse runtime generally needs a writable
       
   320 configuration area and as a result of this problem, may erroneously detect the
       
   321 current configuration location as writable. The net result is that Eclipse will
       
   322 fail to start and depending on the circumstances, may fail to write a log file
       
   323 with any details. To work around this, we suggest users experiencing this
       
   324 problem set their configuration area explicitly using the <tt>-configuration</tt> command
       
   325 line argument. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=67719">67719</a>)</li>

   327 
       
   328 <h4><b>Invalid characters in install directory prevents Eclipse from starting</b></h4>
       
   329 <p>Eclipse will fail to launch if installed in a directory whose path
       
   330 contains certain invalid characters, including :%#&lt;&gt;&quot;!. The
       
   331 workaround is to install Eclipse in a directory whose path does not contain
       
   332 invalid characters. (bugs <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=3109">3109</a>

   335 <h4>Hanging during class loading when out of permanent generation memory</h4>
       
   336 <p>
       
   337 The Sun VM may hang indefinitely during class loading if it runs out of permanent
       
   338 generation memory.  This will cause CPU usage to stay at 100% until the process
       
   339 is ended.  See the section <a href="#Running Eclipse">Running Eclipse</a> for details
       
   340 on addressing this VM problem.
       
   341 </p>
       
   342 
       
   343 <h3>3.1.2 <a name="I-General-GCJ">General - GCJ</a></h3>
       
   344 <p>GCJ is an effort by the GCC team to provide an open source Java compiler and
       
   345 runtime environment to interpret Java bytecode. Unfortunately, the GCJ runtime
       
   346 environment is not an environment that is often tested on by Eclipse developers.</p>
       
   347 
       
   348 <p>The most common problems surrounding GCJ are:</p>
       
   349 <ul>
       
   350 <li>Eclipse does not start at all</li>
       
   351 <li>Eclipse throws a 'java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.core.runtime.Plugin' that can be found in the logs (located in
       
   352 workspace/.metadata/.log)</li>	
       
   353 </ul>
       
   354 
       
   355 <p>The workspace's log file is a good place to check to identify whether GCJ is
       
   356 being used or not. Every Eclipse log session is prepended with
       
   357 information about the runtime environment that was used to run Eclipse. The log
       
   358 may include something like the following:</p>
       
   359 
       
   360 <code>java.fullversion=GNU libgcj 4.2.1 (Debian 4.2.1-5)</code>
       
   361 
       
   362 <p>If Eclipse does start, one can check which runtime environment is being used to
       
   363 run Eclipse by going to <b>Help &gt; About Eclipse SDK &gt; Installation Details &gt; Configuration</b>. The
       
   364 <b>About</b> dialog itself can also provide other information, the build identifier
       
   365 can be of particular interest as it is tagged by some distributions. This allows the
       
   366 user to identify whether Eclipse was downloaded through the distribution's
       
   367 package management system or directly from the eclipse.org website.</p>
       
   368 
       
   369 Eg: <code>Build id: M20070212-1330 (Ubuntu version: 3.2.2-0ubuntu3)</code>
       
   370 
       
   371 <p>The two most common workarounds are:</p><ul>
       
   372 <li>download the Eclipse binary from eclipse.org directly</li>
       
   373 <li>run Eclipse using an alternate Java runtime environment</li></ul>
       
   374 
       
   375 <p>To download Eclipse, try one of the links below:</p><ul>
       
   376 <li><a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/">http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/</a></li>
       
   377 <li><a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a></li></ul>
       
   378 
       
   379 It is imperative that 64-bit builds are downloaded and used if a 64-bit Java
       
   380 runtime environment has been installed. Below are two sample tarball names of
       
   381 version 3.5.0 of the Eclipse SDK packaged for 32-bit and 64-bit processors.
       
   382 
       
   383 <pre>eclipse-SDK-3.5-linux-gtk.tar.gz (32-bit)
       
   384 eclipse-SDK-3.5-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz (64-bit)</pre>
       
   385 
       
   386 <p>To run Eclipse with an alternate Java runtime environment, the path to the Java
       
   387 virtual machine's binary must be identified. With an Eclipse installation from
       
   388 the distribution, altering the $PATH variable to include the path to the
       
   389 alternate Java runtime environment is often not enough as the Eclipse that
       
   390 Linux distributions package often performs a scan internally to pick up GCJ by
       
   391 itself whilst ignoring what's on the $PATH. An example of the terminal's output
       
   392 is shown below:</p>
       
   393 
       
   394 <code>searching for compatible vm...<br>
       
   395   testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea...not found<br>
       
   396   testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...found</code>
       
   397 
       
   398 <p>Once the path to the virtual machine's binary has been identified, try running
       
   399 Eclipse with the following command:</p>
       
   400 
       
   401 <code>./eclipse -vm /path/to/jre/bin/java</code>
       
   402 
       
   403 <p>For an actual example, it might look something like the following:</p>
       
   404 
       
   405 <code>./eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/sun-java-6/bin/java<br>
       
   406 ./eclipse -vm /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java</code>
       
   407 
       
   408 <p>If this seems to solve the problem, it is likely that the problem really was
       
   409 related to the use of GCJ as the Java runtime for running Eclipse. The
       
   410 eclipse.ini file located within Eclipse's folder can be altered to
       
   411 automatically pass this argument to Eclipse at startup. An example of its
       
   412 content is presented below:</p>
       
   413 
       
   414 <code>-showsplash<br>
       
   415 org.eclipse.platform<br>
       
   416 --launcher.XXMaxPermSize<br>
       
   417 256m<br>
       
   418 -vm<br>
       
   419 /opt/sun-jdk-1.6.0.02/bin/java<br>
       
   420 -vmargs<br>
       
   421 -Xms40m<br>
       
   422 -Xmx512m</code>
       
   423 
       
   424 <p>Note that every argument must be on its own line. More information about the
       
   425 eclipse.ini file can be found at <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini">http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini</a>.</p>
       
   426 
       
   427 <p>If problems persists after downloading an installation of Eclipse from
       
   428 eclipse.org and using a supported Java runtime environment (a list of which may be found <a href="#TargetOperatingEnvironments">above</a>),

   435 <p>
       
   436 There is a known issue with the Java HotSpot(TM) 1.6.0 VM compiler which causes eclipse to 
       
   437 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>,

   439 The crash usually occurs within a VM CompilerThread when attempting to compile the method org.eclipse.core.internal.dtree.DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith.
       
   440 </p>
       
   441 <p>
       
   442 This problem has been addressed in Sun Java 6 update 11, so the simplest resolution is
       
   443 to obtain the latest JRE release for your platform.
       
   444 To work around the issue you can exclude the method org.eclipse.core.internal.dtree.DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith from being compiled with the following
       
   445 VM argument:
       
   446 </p>

   451 
       
   452 <p>
       
   453 This VM argument can be placed in the eclipse.ini file after the -vmargs line like the following:

   488 <h4>XML files with UTF-8 byte order mark fail to have content type detected</h4>
       
   489 <p>Eclipse will fail to detect the proper content type for XML files that have a
       
   490 UTF-8 byte order mark if Crimson is the XML parser (as it is on Sun 1.4 JREs,
       
   491 but not on Sun 1.5 JREs). This
       
   492 problem will prevent actions normally available when files of the affected

   496 <h4>No branding with old config.ini</h4>
       
   497 <p>If you have an old config.ini file and use it with a new Eclipse build, you
       
   498 may not get the correct product branding. This is because the id of the standard
       
   499 Eclipse product changed. Users in shared install scenarios may end up in this
       
   500 situation as previous builds of Eclipse automatically generated config.ini files
       
   501 in some cases. The work around is either to delete the local config.ini or
       
   502 update the eclipse.product line to read eclipse.product=org.eclipse.platform.ide.</p>

   504 <h4>Problems with
       
   505 classloaders in created threads</h4>
       
   506 <p>There is a known issue with trying to load classes from a newly-created
       
   507 thread using a class loader different from the plug-in class loader. The result
       
   508 will be a <code>ClassNotFoundException</code>. As a workaround, do the
       
   509 following:</p>
       
   510 <ol>
       
   511   <li>Create a thread in which to run your code.</li>
       
   512   <li>Send yourThread.setContextClassLoader(yourClassLoader); // you can find
       
   513     your classloader by grabbing a class it loaded (YourPluginClass.class.getClassLoader())</li>
       
   514   <li>Run your code in the newly created thread.</li>
       
   515 </ol>
       
   516 <p>If you set the context class loader for the current thread, you are
       
   517 competing with other users of the thread (all of Eclipse), so the results will
       
   518 be unpredictable. However, there should be no problem in practice provided you
       
   519 reset the context class loader back to its original value when your use in the
       
   520 current thread is&nbsp;complete. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=8907">8907</a>)</p>

   530 is shipped as a JAR file, and contains a nested JAR file then there may be
       
   531 problems in the automatic generation of the bundle manifest file. The packages

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

   602     env-&gt;CallVoidMethod(callback, mid, ...);
       
   603      // Handle error ...
       
   604     jvm-&gt;DetachCurrentThread();
       
   605   }

   756 <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>
       
   757 <p>The &quot;Text file encoding&quot; value displayed in the Preferences
       
   758   dialog under &quot;Editors&quot; may be wrong on platforms running Windows XP
       
   759 (or 2000) when the user locale and system locale differ.&nbsp;</p>
       
   760 <p>Example of the manifestation of the bug: A Japanese user using Japanese
       
   761 Windows 2000 works in New York, United States. The user has selected English
       
   762 (United States) as the user locale. The &quot;Text file encoding&quot; value
       
   763 displayed by Eclipse is incorrect: &quot;Cp1252&quot; (English). It should
       
   764 display the system locale &quot;MS932&quot; (Japanese).</p>
       
   765 <p>Workaround: The user can modify the user locale so that user locale and
       
   766 system locale are identical. In the example above, this means the user should
       
   767 set Japanese as the user locale. Then restart Eclipse. The &quot;Text file
       
   768 encoding&quot; value will then be correct: &quot;MS932&quot; (Japanese).</p>

   908 the only way to make the key bindings work again is to restart Eclipse.
       
   909 </p><p>
       
   910 The problem is that a focus issue exists in GTK+ 2.6.7 and earlier, for which SWT has
       
   911 a workaround.  This workaround is incompatible with the GTK+ 2.6.7 fix, so a GTK+ version
       
   912 check is done at runtime to determine whether the workaround should be used or not.
       
   913 However, Debian backported the GTK+ focus fix into their libgtk+2.0 (2.6.4-2) package,
       
   914 so the SWT workaround and GTK+ fix are both incorrectly applied in this context.
       
   915 </p><p>
       
   916 To work around this problem, either get the Debian unstable version of GTK+, compile your
       
   917 own GTK+, or hack SWT's Shell.gtk_realize(int) and change the version that it checks.

   923 <p>When running on the IBM Java 5.0 VM, Eclipse crashes while the user is typing in an editor.

   939 port only uses 32-bit pointers, so SWT and Eclipse cannot be used with OS X JRE version

  1087 Developers debugging applications on Sun's 1.6.0_14 
       
  1088 virtual machine should be aware that breakpoints are unreliable (i.e. do 
       
  1089 not always suspend execution). The problem occurs on Windows and Linux 
       
  1090 platforms. At this point, it appears to be an issue with the VM rather than Eclipse.
       
  1091 The workaround is to use the 1.6.0_13 virtual machine. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=279137">279137</a>).

  1097 reach the chosen line. The breakpoints set by the underlying implementation are

  1156 overflows</h4>
       
  1157 
       
  1158 <p>If a debug session suspends on a <code>java.lang.StackOverflowError</code>
       
  1159 exception (due to an exception breakpoint), the debugger may not be able to
       
  1160 retrieve any debug information from the target JVM. As well, the debugger may
       
  1161 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>
       
  1162 <h4> Evaluation limitation</h4>
       
  1163 <p>The debugger uses threads in the target JVM to perform evaluations (both
       
  1164 explicit evaluations that the user requests, and implicit evaluations such as <code>toString()</code>
       
  1165 invocations in the <b>Variables</b> view). The Java Debug Interface (JDI)
       
  1166 requires that the thread in which an evaluation is performed be suspended by a
       
  1167 user event (that is, a breakpoint or step request). Evaluations cannot be
       
  1168 performed on threads suspended by the suspend action. As well, when a breakpoint
       
  1169 is configured to suspend the JVM rather than just the individual thread, the
       
  1170 threads which did not encounter the breakpoint are not in a valid state to
       
  1171 perform an evaluation. When an evaluation is attempted in a thread that is not
       
  1172 in a valid state to perform an evaluation, an error message will appear to the
       
  1173 effect of &quot;Thread must be suspended by step or breakpoint to perform method
       
  1174 invocation&quot;. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=34440">34440</a>)</p>
       
  1175 
       
  1176 <h4> Missing debug attributes</h4>
       
  1177 The debugger requires that class files be compiled with debug attributes if
       
  1178 it is to be able to display line numbers and local variables. Quite often, class
       
  1179 libraries (for example, &quot;<code>rt.jar</code>&quot;) are compiled without
       
  1180 complete debug attributes, and thus local variables and method arguments for
       
  1181 those classes are not visible in the debugger.
       
  1182 <h4> Using Hot Code Replace</h4>
       
  1183 <p>Hot code replace is supported on JDK 1.4.x VMs, and IBM J9 VMs. The debugger
       
  1184 will attempt to replace all class files that change in the workspace as the user
       
  1185 edits and builds source code. However, hot code replace is limited to changes
       
  1186 that a particular virtual machine implementation supports. For example, changes
       
  1187 within existing methods may be supported, but the addition or removal of members
       
  1188 may not be.</p>
       
  1189 <p>Note that hot code replace and stepping on JDK 1.4.0 VMs was unreliable. The
       
  1190 underlying VM problems were fixed in JDK 1.4.1, and later.</p>
       
  1191 <h4> Scrapbook</h4>
       
  1192 Setting a breakpoint inside a scrapbook page is not supported.
       
  1193 
       
  1194 <p>When a snippet is run in the scrapbook which directly or indirectly calls <code>System.exit(int)</code>,
       
  1195 the evaluation cannot be completed, and will result in a stack trace for a <code>com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException</code>
       
  1196 being displayed in the scrapbook editor.</p>
       
  1197 <p>Terminating a scrapbook page while it is performing an evaluation results
       
  1198 in a <code>com.sun.jdi.VMDisconnectedException</code> being displayed in the
       
  1199 scrapbook editor.</p>
       
  1200 <h4> Debugging over slow
       
  1201 connections</h4>
       
  1202 A global Java debug preference specifies the debugger timeout, which is the
       
  1203 maximum amount of time the debugger waits for a response from the target VM
       
  1204 after making a request of that VM. Slow connections may require that this value
       
  1205 be increased. The timeout value can be edited from the <b>Java &gt; Debug </b>preference
       
  1206 page. Changing the timeout value only effects subsequently launched VM, not VMs
       
  1207 that are already running.
       
  1208 
       
  1209 <h4> Updating of inspected values</h4>
       
  1210 When inspecting the result of an evaluated expression in the debugger, it is
       
  1211 important to note that the result displayed is the result of that expression at
       
  1212 the time it was evaluated. For example, when inspecting a simple integer counter
       
  1213 (primitive data type), the value displayed in the Expressions view is the value
       
  1214 when the expression was evaluated. As the counter is changed in the running
       
  1215 program, the inspected result will not change (since the view is not displaying
       
  1216 the value bound to a variable - it is displaying the value of an expression, and
       
  1217 the value of a primitive data type cannot change). However, if an expression
       
  1218 results in an object, fields of that object will be updated in the inspector as
       
  1219 they change in the running program (since the value bound to fields in an object
       
  1220 can change).
       
  1221 <h4> Stepping over native methods
       
  1222 that perform I/O</h4>
       
  1223 When the debugger steps over native methods that perform I/O to <code>System.out</code>
       
  1224 or <code>System.err</code>, the output may not appear immediately unless the
       
  1225 native performs a flush on the output buffer.
       
  1226 <h4> VM and process termination
       
  1227 running on IBM 1.3 JVM on Linux (Linux only)</h4>
       
  1228 Terminating a launch, debug target, or system process associated with a debug
       
  1229 target running on the IBM 1.3 JVM on the Linux platform does not work when the
       
  1230 associated debug target has a suspended thread. To remove such debug targets

  1262 <p>In the plug-in import wizard, when you choose to import plug-ins as
       
  1263 &quot;projects with source folders&quot;, PDE will not unzip the source for the
       
  1264 org.apache.ant, org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.registry, org.eclipse.osgi.util and org.eclipse.osgi.services. This is
       
  1265 because the source ZIPs contains code that will not compile when unzipped as it
       
  1266 requires additional JARs that are not part of the SDK. To avoid the creation of
       
  1267 plug-in projects that won't compile, PDE will import these plug-ins as binary
       
  1268 and attach source, so you would still be able to read the source, you just won't
       
  1269 be able to modify it. Also, PDE will not unzip the source for the
       
  1270 org.eclipse.swt plug-ins. In this case, it is because, when shipped, the swt
       
  1271 code is spread across a plug-in and a fragment, and when unzipped, it will
       
  1272 require circular dependencies between the plug-in and fragment projects. These
       
  1273 circular dependencies are at minimum marked as warnings by the JDT compiler and
       
  1274 may result in unpredictable build behavior. Therefore, PDE always imports
       
  1275 org.eclipse.swt as binary with source attached. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=66314">66314</a>)</p>

  1284 versions to coexist if the only thing they contribute is run-time libraries.

  1306 <h4>Target Platform only sees installed plug-ins</h4>
       
  1307 <p>With the new p2 provisioning system in 3.4, PDE introduced a preference to control how target platforms are built. 
       
  1308 By default, this preference is on if your target equals your host, otherwise it's off. When this preference is enabled, PDE attempts to
       
  1309 read a target platform's configuration and build the target platform based in the target's list of installed plug-ins. If a configuration
       
  1310 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
       
  1311 list of plug-ins.

  1324 the OSGi Release 4 Version 4.2 specification is version 1.4.0.  Bundles that 
       
  1325 wish to run on other vendor frameworks should import the org.osgi.util.tracker package at
       
  1326 version 1.4.0.  By default PDE will suggest the version 1.4.2 to be used when a bundle imports

  1334 <p>After installing the Eclipse SDK in a directory, you can start the Workbench
       
  1335 by running the Eclipse executable included with the release (you also need a 1.4.2
       
  1336 JRE, not included with the Eclipse SDK). On Windows, the executable file is called <samp>eclipse.exe</samp>,
       
  1337 and is located in the <code>eclipse</code> sub-directory of the install. If
       
  1338 installed at <code>c:\eclipse-SDK-3.5-win32</code>, the executable is <code>c:\eclipse-SDK-3.5-win32\eclipse\eclipse.exe</code>.
       
  1339 
       
  1340 <b>Note:</b> Set-up on most other operating environments is analogous. Special
       
  1341 instructions for Mac OS X are listed <a href="#macosx">below</a>.</p>
       
  1342 
       
  1343 <h3>Allocating enough memory and solving OutOfMemoryErrors</h3>
       
  1344 <p>By default, Eclipse will allocate up to 256 megabytes of Java heap memory. This should
       
  1345 be ample for all typical development tasks. However, depending on the JRE
       
  1346 that you are running, the number of additional plug-ins you are using, and
       
  1347 the number of files you will be working with, you could conceivably have to increase this amount. 
       
  1348 Eclipse allows you to pass arguments directly to the Java VM using the
       
  1349 <code>-vmargs</code> command line argument, which must follow all other Eclipse specific arguments.
       
  1350 Thus, to increase the available heap memory, you would typically use:</p>
       
  1351 <blockquote>
       
  1352   <p><code>eclipse -vmargs -Xmx&lt;memory size&gt;</code></p>
       
  1353 </blockquote>
       
  1354 <p>with the <code>&lt;memory size&gt;</code> value set to greater than
       
  1355 &quot;256M&quot; (256 megabytes -- the default). 
       
  1356 </p>
       
  1357 <p>
       
  1358 When using a Sun VM, you may also need to increase the size of the permanent
       
  1359 generation memory.  The default maximum is 64 megabytes, but more may
       
  1360 be needed depending on your plug-in configuration and use.  When the VM runs
       
  1361 out of permanent generation memory, it may crash or hang during class loading.
       
  1362 This failure is less common when using Sun JRE version 1.5.0_07 or greater.
       
  1363 The maximum permanent generation size is increased using the -XX:MaxPermSize=&lt;memory size&gt; argument:</p>
       
  1364 <blockquote>
       
  1365   <p><code>eclipse -vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=&lt;memory size&gt;</code></p>
       
  1366 </blockquote>
       
  1367 <p>This argument may not be available for all VM versions and platforms; consult your VM documentation
       
  1368 for more details.
       
  1369 </p>
       
  1370 <p>
       
  1371 Note that setting memory sizes to be larger than the amount of available physical
       
  1372 memory on your machine will cause Java to &quot;thrash&quot; as it copies objects
       
  1373 back and forth to virtual memory, which will severely degrade your performance.
       
  1374 </p>
       
  1375 <h3>Selecting a workspace</h3>
       
  1376 <p>When the Workbench is launched, the first thing you see is a 
       
  1377 dialog that allows you to select where the workspace will be located. The
       
  1378 workspace is the directory where your work will be stored.
       
  1379 If you do not specify otherwise, Eclipse creates the workspace in your
       
  1380 user directory.
       
  1381 This workspace directory is used as the default content area for your projects
       
  1382 as well as for holding any required metadata. For shared or multi-workspace
       
  1383 installs you must explicitly specify the location for your workspace using the
       
  1384 dialog (or via the &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot; command line argument).</p>
       
  1385 <h3>Specifying the Java virtual machine</h3>
       
  1386 <p>Here is a typical Eclipse command line:&nbsp;</p>
       
  1387 
       
  1388 <blockquote>
       
  1389   <p><code>eclipse -vm c:\jdk1.4.2\jre\bin\javaw</code></p>
       
  1390 </blockquote>
       
  1391 <p><i>Tip:</i> It's generally a good idea to explicitly specify which Java VM to
       
  1392 use when running Eclipse. This is achieved with the &quot;<code>-vm</code>&quot;
       
  1393 command line argument as illustrated above. If you don't use &quot;<code>-vm</code>&quot;,
       
  1394 Eclipse will look on the O/S path. When you install other Java-based products,
       
  1395 they may change your path and could result in a different Java VM being used
       
  1396 when you next launch Eclipse.</p>
       
  1397 <p>To create a Windows shortcut to an installed Eclipse:</p>
       
  1398 <ol>
       
  1399   <li>Navigate to <code>eclipse.exe</code> in Windows Explorer and use Create
       
  1400     Shortcut on the content menu.</li>
       
  1401   <li>Select the shortcut and edit its Properties. In the Target: field append
       
  1402     the command line arguments.</li>
       
  1403 </ol>
       
  1404 <p>Opening this shortcut launches Eclipse. (You can drag the shortcut to the 
       
  1405 Windows Desktop if you want to keep it in easy reach.)</p>
       
  1406 
       
  1407 <h3><a name="macosx">Mac OS X</a></h3>
       
  1408 <p>On Mac OS X, you start Eclipse by double clicking the Eclipse application. If you need to 
       
  1409 pass arguments to Eclipse, you'll have to edit the <code>eclipse.ini</code> file
       
  1410 inside the Eclipse application bundle: select the Eclipse application bundle icon while holding down the Control Key.
       
  1411 This will present you with a popup menu. Select &quot;Show Package Contents&quot; in the popup menu.
       
  1412 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.
       
  1413 </p>
       
  1414 
       
  1415 <p>
       
  1416 On MacOS X you can only launch a UI program more than once if you have separate
       
  1417 copies of the program on disk. The reason for this behavior is that every UI
       
  1418 application on Mac can open multiple documents, so typically there is no need
       
  1419 to open a program twice. Since Eclipse cannot open more than one workspace, this means you have to make
       
  1420 a copy of the Eclipse install if you want to open more then one workspace at
       
  1421 the same time (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=139319">139319</a>).
       
  1422 </p>
       
  1423 
       
  1424 <p>If you need to launch Eclipse from the command line, you can use the symbolic link &quot;eclipse&quot; in the
       
  1425 top-level eclipse folder. It refers to the eclipse executable inside the application bundle and takes
       
  1426 the same arguments as &quot;eclipse.exe&quot; on other platforms. 
       
  1427 </p>
       
  1428 <p>On Mac OS X 10.4 and later, you may notice a slow down when working with significant
       
  1429 numbers of resources if you allow Spotlight to index your workspace. To prevent this, start
       
  1430 System Preferences, select the Spotlight icon, then the Privacy tab, then click the Add button
       
  1431 (&quot;+&quot;) and find your workspace directory in the dialog that appears.</p>
       
  1432 <h3><a name="SharedInstall">Shared Install</a></h3>
       
  1433 <p>The startup speed of a shared install can be improved if proper cache information is stored in the shared 
       
  1434 install area. To achieve this, after unzipping Eclipse distribution, run Eclipse once with the &quot;-initialize&quot; 
       
  1435 option from an account that has a write access to the install directory.</p>

  1445     installed in a sub-directory called &quot;<code>workspace</code>&quot;. If
       
  1446     you are using a shortcut or script to launch Eclipse, then it will be under
       
  1447     the current working directory of that shortcut or script in a sub-directory
       
  1448     called &quot;workspace&quot;. For Windows users, this is specified by the
       
  1449     &quot;Start in:&quot; argument in your shortcut properties.</li>
       
  1450   <li>Copy this workspace directory to a new, empty location outside of any
       
  1451     Eclipse install directory.</li>
       
  1452   <li>Install the new version of Eclipse in a new location, separate from any
       
  1453     old version of Eclipse.</li>
       
  1454   <li>If you had installed additional features and plug-ins into your old
       
  1455     Eclipse, you should re-install them in the new Eclipse.</li>
       
  1456   <li>Start this new version of Eclipse and select
       
  1457     this location using the workspace chooser dialog at startup (or use &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot;
       
  1458     command line argument to pre-select the workspace location).</li>
       
  1459 </ol>
       
  1460 <h3>Users who do use &quot;-data&quot;</h3>
       
  1461 <p>If you were previously using the &quot;<code>-data</code>&quot; argument to

  1463 
       
  1464 <ol>
       
  1465   <li>Optionally copy your workspace directory to a new, empty location outside of any

  1483 <h3>6.1 Interoperability of Release 3.5 with previous releases</h3>
       
  1484 <h4>Sharing projects between heterogeneous Eclipse 3.5 and 3.4</h4>
       
  1485 <p>Special care is required when a project in a team repository is being loaded
       
  1486 and operated on by developers using Eclipse-based products based on different
       
  1487 feature or plug-in versions. The general problem is that the existence,
       
  1488 contents, and interpretation of metadata files in the workspaces may be specific
       
  1489 to a particular feature or plug-in version, and differ between versions. The
       
  1490 workspace compatibility guarantees only cover cases where all developers upgrade
       
  1491 their Eclipse workspaces in lock step. In those cases there should be no problem
       
  1492 with shared metadata. However, when some developers are working in Eclipse 3.5
       
  1493 while others are working in Eclipse 3.4, there are no such guarantees.
       
  1494 This section provides advice for what to do and not to do. It addresses the
       
  1495 specific issues with the Eclipse SDK.</p>
       
  1496 
       
  1497 <p>The typical failure mode is noticed by the 3.5 user. 3.5 metadata is lost
       
  1498 when a 3.4 user saves changes and then commits the updated metadata files to the
       
  1499 repository. Here's how things typically go awry:</p>
       
  1500 <ul>
       
  1501   <li>A user working in Eclipse 3.5 creates or modifies a project in a way that
       
  1502     results in changes to a shared metadata file that rely on 3.5-specific
       
  1503     information. The user then commits the updated project files, including the
       
  1504     shared metadata file, to the shared repository.</li>
       
  1505   <li>Another user working in Eclipse 3.4 shares this project from the same
       
  1506     repository. The 3.5-specific information in the shared metadata file is not
       
  1507     understood by Eclipse 3.4, and is generally discarded or ignored without
       
  1508     warning. The user modifies the project in a way that results in changes to
       
  1509     the shared metadata file, causing the shared metadata file to be rewritten
       
  1510     without any of the 3.5-specific information. The user commits the updated
       
  1511     project files, including the shared metadata file, to the shared repository.
       
  1512     The user is generally unaware that shared information has just been lost as
       
  1513     a result of their actions.</li>
       
  1514   <li>A user working in Eclipse 3.5 picks up the changes to a project from the
       
  1515     shared repository, including the updated shared metadata file. The user may
       
  1516     be unaware that they have just taken a retrograde step until later when
       
  1517     things start to malfunction.</li>
       
  1518 </ul>
       
  1519 <p>Here are some things to watch out for when sharing projects between
       
  1520 Eclipse 3.5 and earlier 3.x releases:</p>
       
  1521 <ul>
       
  1522   <li><b>Linked resources in the .project file</b> - 
       
  1523   Eclipse 3.5 supports creating linked resources at arbitrary depth within a project,
       
  1524   and supports creating linked resources referring to other file systems. Neither of
       
  1525   these scenarios are supported in Eclipse 3.1 or earlier.  If such linked resources
       
  1526   are created in 3.5, and the project is subsequently loaded into an Eclipse 3.1
       
  1527   or earlier workspace, these links will not be recognized.  Recommendation:
       
  1528   avoid creating links at arbitrary depth or to other file systems where project
       
  1529   compatibility with Eclipse 3.1 or earlier is required.</li>
       
  1530 </ul>
       
  1531 <h4>Using Eclipse 3.5 to develop plug-ins that work in Eclipse 3.4</h4>
       
  1532 <p>It is also possible (and reasonable) to use Eclipse 3.5 to develop a plug-in 
       
  1533   intended to work in Eclipse 3.4 or earlier. Use the <b>Plug-in Development &gt; 
       
  1534   Target Platform </b>preference page to locate non-workspace plug-ins in an Eclipse 
       
  1535   3.4 install. This ensures that the code for your plug-in is being compiled and 
       
  1536   tested against Eclipse 3.4 APIs, extension points, and plug-ins. (The above 
       
  1537   list of concerns do not apply since they affect the layout and interpretation 
       
  1538   of files in the plug-in <i>project</i> but none affect the actual deployed form 
       
  1539   of the plug-in.)</p>
