Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: eclipse
When starting eclipse (3.2) with an installed subclipse addon installed
eclipse will crash.
I did some investigations and found a workaround:
Since Subclipse relies on sun-java I changed the order of java
environments in /etc/eclipse/java_home so that sun-java would be the
first choice. Unfortunately hidden in the startup script
/usr/bin/eclipse are some gcj-related arguments which probably cause
eclipse to crash when subclipse components are called.
To work around this problem I did the following:
sudo gedit /usr/bin/eclipse
now outcomment the following lines in the very end of that file:
# -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni \
# -Dgnu.gcj.precompiled.db.path=/var/lib/gcj-4.1/classmap.db \
# -Dgnu.gcj.runtime.VMClassLoader.library_control=never \
# -Dosgi.locking=none ${VMARGS}
and add this line instead :
-vmargs ${VMARGS}
Now I know this is quite a rough way of dealing with this but at least
now everything works like a charme. However if somebody can provide a
more clean way I'm more than happy to learn about it.
