Package: eclipse-platform-common
Version: 3.1.1-7
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
There is a small bug in eclipse starter script : "export JAVA_HOME" is
done inside a "while" loop. But shell is tricky: the while actually creates
a subprocess, so since the export is done there, it doesn't impact the
rest of the script. Thus JAVA_HOME will remain unset.
Result is this (if JAVA_HOME is not set elsewhere):
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ echo 'searching for compatible vm...'
searching for compatible vm...
+ cat /etc/eclipse/java_home
+ grep -v '^#'
+ grep -v '^$'
+ read JAVA_HOME
+ echo -n ' testing /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun...'
testing /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun...+ '[' -x
/usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun/bin/java ']'
+ export JAVA_HOME
+ echo found
found
+ break
# If we don't have a JAVA_HOME yet, we're doomed.
if [ -z "${JAVA_HOME}" ]; then
zenity \
--error \
--title="Could not launch Eclipse Platform" \
--text="A suitable Java Virtual Machine for running the Eclipse
Platform could not be located."
exit 1
fi
+ '[' -z '' ']'
+ zenity --error '--title=Could not launch Eclipse Platform' '--text=A
suitable Java Virtual Machine for running the Eclipse Platform could not
be located.'
+ exit 1
A simple fix is to replace the 'while' loop by a 'for' loop:

(This won't work if some path contain a space)
