Eclipse broken on Fedora 6?

[Klaasjan Brand]

Hi,

I've just found out Eclipse hangs on Fedora 6 when triggering the native GTK
file open dialog (when using "open file" or browsing directories). Happens
on GCJ or Sun JDK 1.5 with both Fedora Eclipse and eclipse.org versions.
Anyone familiar with this problem? Suggestions where it should be reported?

thanks,
Klaasjan Brand

Hi!

I have the same and filed a bug report for Eclipse, just to discover
that this is related to SeLinux and DBus. A fix is under development.

See bug #217843 for this.

Hope that helps,
Mario

Might be attempting to run the gtk file dialog from a thread, that
dialog appears to only work reliably when run from gtk's "main thread".
I do a bit of a dance in openoffice.org to spawn the dialog off in a gtk
idle handler to get it run in the gtk main thread and wait for it to
return in the original thread.

Yeah, as Mario said, I think you're hitting bug #217843.  In general,
always report things in Red Hat bugzilla.

Thanks,
