Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 I am using eclipse-* rpm packages. When Eclipse starts up and a spec file is open, I'm getting this error: An internal error occurred during: "Update RPM packages proposal list". Stack trace: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:71) I'm not sure why this is happening. Reproducible: Didn't try
Not sure if this is relevant. Posting it anyway: $ rpm -qa | grep eclipse eclipse-svnkit-1.3.2-2.fc13.noarch eclipse-mylyn-3.3.2-2.fc13.noarch icu4j-eclipse-4.0.1-5.fc13.i686 eclipse-rse-3.1.1-3.fc13.noarch eclipse-changelog-2.6.7-3.fc12.i686 eclipse-swt-3.5.2-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-cdt-6.0.2-5.fc13.i686 eclipse-rcp-3.5.2-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-oprofile-0.4.0-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-rpm-editor-0.5.0-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-platform-3.5.2-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-mylyn-cdt-3.3.2-2.fc13.noarch eclipse-cdt-sdk-6.0.2-5.fc13.i686 eclipse-pde-3.5.2-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-subclipse-1.6.8-1.fc13.noarch eclipse-jdt-3.5.2-1.fc13.i686 eclipse-fedorapackager-0.0.3-1.fc13.noarch (it's happening with or without this package) eclipse-linuxprofilingframework-0.5.0-2.fc13.i686 eclipse-emf-2.5.0-4.fc12.noarch tomcat5-jasper-eclipse-5.5.27-7.4.fc12.noarch
I am not sure if it is the same bug or not, but I observe a livelock in LinuxTools RPM plug-in on Eclipse 3.6.2 M20110210-1200 win32. The livelock is triggered when I open Specfile Editor page, and looks as a lot of small "Update RPM packages proposal list" jobs, which end only when I shut down Eclipse, and then, the attached stack trace is printed on the console. From quick code examination it seems that an update job can never succeed because linux utilities are not available on linux, and if a file with job results at PreferenceConstants.P_RPM_LIST_FILEPATH cannot be found, the job is automatically restarted. I think, the same problem could happen on linux in some particular cases when the job cannot succeed for whatever reason. === Stack trace === !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2011-07-25 17:20:16.356 !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Update RPM packages proposal list". !STACK 0 java.lang.NullPointerException at org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.RpmPackageProposalsList.setPackagesList(RpmPackageProposalsList.java:44) at org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.RpmPackageProposalsList.<init>(RpmPackageProposalsList.java:40) at org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.RpmPackageBuildProposalsJob.retrievePackageList(RpmPackageBuildProposalsJob.java:182) at org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.RpmPackageBuildProposalsJob.run(RpmPackageBuildProposalsJob.java:59) at org.eclipse.core.internal.jobs.Worker.run(Worker.java:54) === Linuxtools plug-ins === org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools (2.0.0.201101251503) "Autotools Plug-in (Incubation)" [Active] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools_docs (2.0.2.201101251503) "Autotools Documentation (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.core (1.0.1.201101251503) "Autotools Plug-in (Incubation)" [Active] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.autotools.ui (1.0.1.201101251503) "Autotools UI Plug-in (Incubation)" [Starting] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover (1.0.3.201101251503) "C/C++ Libhover Plug-in (Incubation)" [Starting] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.glibc (1.0.1.201101251503) "Glibc Libhover (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.cdt.libhover.library_docs (1.0.1.201101251503) "Libhover C/C++ Library Documentation Plug-in (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.changelog.core (2.7.0.201101251503) "ChangeLog Core Functionality (Incubation)" [Starting] org.eclipse.linuxtools.changelog.cparser (2.7.0.201101251503) "ChangeLog C parser (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.changelog.doc (2.7.0.201101251503) "ChangeLog Documentation (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.changelog.parsers.java (2.7.0.201101251503) "ChangeLog C parser (Incubation)" [Resolved] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.core (0.4.3.201101251503) "RPM Core Plug-in (Incubation)" [Active] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.rpmlint (0.4.3.201101251503) "RPM Rpmlint Plug-in (Incubation)" [Starting] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui (0.4.3.201101251503) "RPM UI Plug-in (Incubation)" [Starting] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor (0.4.3.201101251503) "RPM Specfile Editor (Incubation)" [Active] org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.ui.editor.doc (0.4.3.201101251503) "Documentation for RPM specfile editor (Incubation)" [Resolved]
Is this bug reproducible with current master? Looks like I fixed it with some other issues already.
No response and I can't reproduce and a bit of stabilization in this area happened fixing quite a few possible problems. Please reopen if it still happens with master and provide an easy way to reproduce.
