org.eclipse.swt.internal.gdip.GdiplusStartupInput at org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Device.checkGDIP(Device.java:190) ... 61 more Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a Facelets/JSF page using all or most of the libraries: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"> 2. Edit the file. Then a dialog box comes up with the message "An error has occurred. See error log for more details. Unable to load graphics library [GDI+ is required] (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.eclipse.swt.internal.gdip.GdiplusStartupInput)" 3. This message appear after every character entered when the bug occurs. I have been having it on and off for a month or so. I have tried deleting and recreating the file and this might have worked but this time it did not and it has made it impossible to work. 4. Please note I am providing you with usage data and this does occupy a few minutes on a regular basis but I am helping you with this so canyoun please help me as this is becoming impossible to live with.
I'm wondering if this might be a problem because Windows 2000 doesn't support advanced graphics? SWT, please advise. jraven, do you get this problem with XP/Vista/7?
This FAQ entry might be of some help. http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#nographicslibrary
Hi Remy, Thanks for the quick response. I have been slow in getting back because I am in a very different time zone (New Zealand). I only have access to Windows 2000. It seems that lack of GDI+ is the problem and the advice given elsewhere as well (http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.gef/msg13879.html) is to download the GDI+ package. This I have done but can you please tell me where do I put it or how do I tell Eclipse how to pick it up?
I did this on my Windows 2000 machine a few years ago, I think it just goes anywhere on the library search path. I can't access my old machine, but I'm pretty sure I put it in the directory with where all of Windows' shipped .dlls like (something like c:\winnt\windows\system\ ?) Anyways, closing as WORKSFORME. If you have more problems with this then please follow up here, I'm CC'd.
