Kaffe(1.1.4.PRECVS6-1): works with the original and patched launcher scripts (except for the common "workbench state" error that happens with all the free VMs I tried - see below). Also, eclipse crashes occasionally on kaffe during startup with an SWTException (Widget is disposed).
SableVM(1.1.8-1.1): seems to work (mostly) with the standard and patched launcher scripts. When it starts up, it displays a dialog with an error: "The Eclipse executable launcher was unable to locate its companion startup.jar file ...", even though the jar file is there. Also, the splash screen does not show, and an exception is thrown: Message: While loading class "org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin", thread "Framework Event Dispatcher" timed out waiting (5000ms) for thread "Main-1" to finish starting bundle "org.eclipse.ui.workbench". To avoid deadlock, thread "Framework Event Dispatcher" is proceeding but "org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin" may not be fully initialized. Thrown at EclipseClassLoader.java:102 However, the app continues to load normally and then starts up fine (except for the common "workbench state" error - see below). Also, just like on kaffe, eclipse crashes occasionally on sablevm during startup with an SWTException (Widget is disposed). Sun(1.4.2+06): I added a -config parameter to the startup script, otherwise (with the Sun VMs) the getInstallLocation method (in Main.java) gets the install location wrong, possibly due to the moving and symlinking of startup.jar (see my earlier message). Anyway, a patch is included, and with the patch applied to the startup script, this one works. Sun(1.5.0): This works; exactly the same as with 1.4.2 above. IKVM: not tested yet gij: not tested yet JamVM: not tested yet "workbench state" error: ======================= With all the free VMs I tried, an error dialog pops up as the workbench starts: "Unable to load workbench state. Workbench UI will be reset." This seems to be caused by a few Exceptions that are thrown: Messages: - Plug-in "org.eclipse.ui.ide" was unable to instantiate class "org.eclipse.ui.views.navigator.ResourceNavigator". - Problems occurred when invoking code from plug-in: "org.eclipse.core.runtime". Exceptions: (AssertionFailedException, DefaultPartPresentation.java:1228) (NullPointer, DialogSettings.java:248) Perhaps we should starting getting this stuff onto alioth?
