Description yongjian feng

Using Solaris 8.5 and Exceed 6.1.

When Eclipse is started, go to Run->Debug... 
This freezes the XWindow application.

can you open any dialogs (i.e. the preferences dialog)?

are you using eXceed on windows to connect to solaris?

do you have any special parameters set for the remote x session?

Thanks for your response.

No, I can't open any dialogs or xterm. The whole XWin is froozen. Solaris is still running, I can telnet to it. By doing a 
ps ef | grep eclipse
I can see that the counter doesn't change.

Yes, I use eXceed 6.1.0.0 to connect to Solaris. The parameters for Communication (under Xconfig) shows:
Mode: XDMCP-query
Display Number: 300 

What else do you need?

Thanks again.

Moving to SWT for comment. If no dialogs open, this is not a debug issue.

Maybe BG has time to investigate?

I have found the same problem with the following configurations:

- On a UNIX machine running Solaris 9.
- Connecting via Xming to a UNIX machine running Solaris 9.
- Connecting via Citrix to a UNIX machine running Solaris 9.

In all cases the same problem occurs that XWindow freezes.

Using Windows7 and Indigo -> same problem. Few observations:

- I have no trace of it in Eclipse error log (Eclipse freezes and that's it, cursor shows it's busy, system tells it's non-responsive and it will sit there like that till I kill it)

- it's not a performance problem (it uses 580MB and I set heap to use 1GB, CPU used is less than 10%

- surefire way to replicate is to switch to debug perspective, either via keys, or menu, or perspective icon (top right corner)

- same with 

- upon killing, I always have info that exit code returned is -805306369

I can open windows, but rendering menu (right click on open editor, drop down Run -> Debug As or something else) is another surefire way to freeze whole app.

My memory settings: 512 (max) perm size; 1024 Xm(s)x.

I can open About dialog, I can browse menu (but not a nested one! entering menu from rendered menu just freezes Eclipse!) and I can revert configs - which I'm just about to do since I have to work.

re: comment 7
If you're running Eclipse on Windows then you're seeing a different problem, as this report is for Solaris, which uses a completely different swt implementation.  Please log a new report with Platform - SWT and be sure to set the Platform fields accordingly.

Grant - thank you. Done just that.

Solaris is no longer a supported platform.
