Eclipse 3.1M6

[Andrew Overholt]

I put together some rudimentary RPMs for Eclipse 3.1M6.  I tried them very
briefly and they appear to work.  Give them a shot if you have a chance.
I'd appreciate any feedback.

RPMs:

SRPM:

Thanks,

Sun-based JVM's have $JAVA_HOME/include/linux/jni_md.h. The Makefile's
assume everything is in $JAVA_HOME/include, so $JAVA_HOME/include/linux
will have to be added to the include path. Now it seems that `make' is
never called directly during the build process, so how are flags like
includes passed to make?

Another problem is that the build expects JAVA_HOME to be set, doesn't
it? It's not guaranteed that it would be set before building. The %ant
macro attempted to correct this problem, by setting JAVA_HOME before ant
is called.

I tried these, here are my first impressions:

- During installation of eclipse-ecj, I got a (harmless) error:

  rpm-tmp.61447: line 5: cd: /usr/lib/gcj-4.0.0/classmap.db.d:
    No such file or directory
  java.io.FileNotFoundException: bin is a directory
    at ...

  (looking at the spec file, the db.d directory is never created)

- /usr/bin/eclipse still contains the following line:

  -Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse.db

  Since this file no longer exists, eclipse will effectively run in
  interpreted mode (according to lsof, no jar.so files are opened).  By
  simply removing the line, gij will correctly pick up the new classmap
  (/usr/lib/gcj-4.0.0/classmap.db).

- I no longer have problems with opening XML files [1].

- The disabled search button issue [2] is back.  The button is disabled
  both in native and interpreted mode now.  Works fine with Sun's JRE.

Oops.  Both of these issues are because I forgot that I had updated
eclipse.script and eclipse.spec in the devel branch.  I didn't bring over
those changes with this M6 set.  I'm rebuilding now and I'll post here when
they're uploaded.

That's good.  Do you still get the error upon opening for the first time as
in [3]?

That sucks :(  I wonder what changed.  This appears to be a gcj regression,
right?

Thanks for the comments and for trying things out!

Nope, works fine.  I was also able to open {build,plugin}.xml files,
without a trace of that ClassCastException.

Actually, this was my mistake.  My rawhide setup was a mess, so I was
testing this on FC3 (with gcc/eclipse/gtk from rawhide, but still).  I
sorted out rawhide now and search works fine.  Sorry for the confusion.

No problem.  That's great to hear!  Once we get these RPMs into rawhide, we
can verify that the open bugs are fixed.

I built new RPMs with one small change:  there is now an ecj binary
installed in /usr/bin.  I've also run createrepo this time so if you add
something like this to yum.conf or create a file in /etc/yum.repos.d you
should be able to update.

[eclipse]
name=eclipse
baseurl=http://overholt.ca/rpms/eclipse
enabled=0
gpgcheck=0

Please don't forget that these are just preview RPMs.  I'll keep the
numbers consistent when I build into rawhide, though, so that upgrades will
work.  Hopefully we'll have some M6 RPMs in rawhide soon.

Hi,

I'm running a system with all packages updated from rawhide as of
yesterday (the eclipse packaged I have installed are listed at the end
of the email) and if I:
1. Launch eclipse using a clean workspace
2. Create a new project.
3. Create a file named build.xml.

I get an exception when eclipse tries to open the newly created file in
the ant editor. The following message shows up:

"Unable to create editor. This message may be due to a bug in the
editor, not a problem with the file you are trying to edit. First close
this error message and then use "Open With..." to open the file in a
different editor. Reason for the failure: Editor could not be
initialized."

I'm attaching the stack trace that is provided if I click on "Details".

The problem occurs with both gij and jdk 1.5.0_02. It seems related to
the ant editor. If I create a file named web.xml for example, it works
without problems.

Since these packages haven't been released yet, I wasn't sure if I
should add it to bugzilla. Please let me know if you want me to do that.

Keep up the good work. :)

Regards,
Ismael
