Description Jens Seidel

Build ID: 3.3

Steps To Reproduce:
Starting the 32 bit eclipse version 3.3 (Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers)
the JVM just fails with "JVM terminated. Exit code=13".

Eclipse doesn't open any window and I do not get an error log (hs_*).

More information:
I assume it's related to the fact that I have a 64 bit JVM installed:

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_01"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_01-b06, mixed mode)

Using eclipse-SDK-3.3-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz from
http://europa-mirror1.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3-200706251500/index.php
fixs this problem and works as expected.

But how the hell do you expect users to find this URL?

Another user reported
"/usr/lib32/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/svg_loader.so: Cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
in the CDT newsforum (Subject: Where are the 64 bit Europa builds?) and confirmed that the 64 bit binary works for him as well.

Moving to the Website component. The problem here is that the main downloads page doesn't list the 64-bit builds, and provides no comment, link, or pointers to where to obtain builds other than the main 32-bit Windows/Linux/Mac builds.

(the above errors are expected when running 32-bit Eclipse with 64-bit JVM)

Links to Different Platforms, and Versions are available on the moreinfo pages for the classic download. 

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/moreinfo/classic.php

These links behave exactly as they did on the old download pages but are just one more link deep.  

Over the next few weeks im sure we'll be beefing up the auto-detection of different platforms to solve this issue for the Classic SDK.

Ah, right. Nevertheless it's hard to find.

I tried the following links:
  Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers 
  Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers ->  Find out more...
  Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers ->  Linux
  Eclipse Classic
  Eclipse Classic -> Linux

Don't know why I didn't selected "Find out more..." as well.

This page does not properly render in Konqueror (3.5.5). The bottom strip (Home | Privacy Policy | ...) can be found in the middle of the page.
Probably a bug in Konqueror but if you know a workaround ...

Two links deeper! First I need to select "Find out more ..." and than "Other downloads for 3.3". I suggest to add "All downloads" to the main download page,
maybe belonging to "Eclipse Classic".

But auto detection will not work, right? How can you recognize my Java version?
I hope I have it disabled in all my browsers for security reasons and the host CPU doesn't give a hint whether I'm using 32 or 64 bit JVM.

Correct, i won't be able to detect your java platform, All i can detect is whether your CPU is 64Bit.

Can you attach a screenshot of Konquerer to the bug so i can see where its messing up?

No sorry, it's too late. I upgraded my system today including Konqueror
(4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-6 -> 4:3.5.7-1). Using 3.5.7 I can no longer reproduce it.

I assumed already a problem in Konqueror and not in the page, so this is now confirmed.

PS: Since the 64 bit downloads are available and the 32 bit version will probably work after some fiddling as well (according to Google it may help to start Eclipse using --clean) I suggest to downgrade the bug to a more natural level (normal?).
