Same using eclipse.exe

Same when using fresh workspace.
No config log.

Mmmh, I assume (or at least hope) you tested your changes for this I-build? If so, can you give me a command line that works, since directly using java.exe is also broken, see bug 217788.

Could it be a problem with extracting the build? I have similar happening to me on Mac and I remember one more guy complaining about this on Windows.

Comment 5 Dani Megert

Why? Does the build work for you on WindowsXP? If so, what's your command line?

I have problems downloading the Windows build and could not try it out.

Comment 7 Dani Megert

There's a workaround: start using java.exe and provide "-ws win32" or hack the config.ini

This is a sample entry from the eclipse.ini file:

-startup
/builds/I200803132106/src/I20080313-2106/p2temp/equinox.p2.build/sdk.install.win32/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080303.jar

Could this be a problem related to FrameworkAdmin?

Comment 9 Thomas Watson

I worked around the issue by editing the eclipse.ini to the following

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.100.v20080303.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.100.v20080201a
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m

Basically remove all the absolute paths inserted during the build process.

Interestingly enough you can update from one of this week I-build to this build and the dropins folder support will work.

Fixed in build i0314-1059.

Verified using I20080314-1059.
