Description Thorsten Heit

2014-08-21 09:04:05 EDT

See bugs #442260 and #442263:
Using Java 8 as default JVM, it isn't possible at all to start Eclipse for several reasons:

* The launcher binary "eclipse" is 32-bit-only
* The equinox launcher library is 32-bit-only
* SWT libraries are also 32-bit-only.

We therefore need a native 64-bit-version of Eclipse that runs under Java 8 on Solaris x86_64.

I'm attaching the necessary patches to solve this.

I don't know whether bug #429342 is necessary, but on my machine I also added the patch in that bug entry before I started the build.

Using all the patches, I'm finally able to build Eclipse that runs as a native 64-bit binary with Java 8 on Solaris x86_64.

This bug entry is similar to bug #429343, but for Eclipse 4.5. The script and patches here are slightly simplified, and additionally adapted to fit to the master branch.
