Observed while testing RC2 on AIX 5.1 with IBM Java 1.3.0. Eclipse consistently crashes upon pressing buttons that would launch "file browser"-type windows. (Not sure of the exact SWT name). Examples of buttons that produce the crash: - Right click a java project, import->file system->browse button - Java project properties, java build path->add external jars button - Window->preferences->export button JVM terminates with an exit code of 1. Command shell displays error message: Error: Object "" does not have windowed ancestor
Can you attach the java core file?
Veronika, Grant- This crash produces no javacore file. The dialog pops up reporting the JVM arguments and return code, and the command line displays the msg described above. The current directory has no javacore* files, and the /tmp/javacore_locations does not show that a coredump occurred. Let me know what I can do to help resolve this. Thanks- John
Created attachment 4016 [details] javacore for JVM crash Ok cancel the above comment :). Got a javacore for the crash, appears to be in FileDialog.open().
I cannot reproduce this here, using: uname -a = AIX jimi 1 5 00063F3F4C00 java -version = J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build ca130-20020208 These sound similar to what you're running. The only thing I can think of is maybe you don't have APAR 1Y27695 applied on your end? (I don't know if this patch is relevant to this area, just guessing). The steps to reproduce the problem are certainly simple enough, and they don't seem like they would be dependent upon the pre-existence of a bad workbench state. Just to confirm, can you: 1. Verify that you have APAR 1Y27695 installed 2. Do the following: - delete your workspace directory (or temporarily rename it) - start Eclipse, should show "Completing installation" splash - go to Window -> Preferences - press Export to see it the problem still occurs
Our AIX install does include the APAR you mentioned. Since noone has observed this on other platforms, and since we did not not observe this when testing AIX 5.2 on RC1, I am going to go about identifying this as an AIX 5.1-specific problem. Will update.
This is an AIX graphics bug that affects certain levels of AIX releases 43X, 51F, and 520. The problem has been found and resolved, and a fix has been dropped into all mentioned releases. We will need to update the text file on the downloads page for AIX to reflect necessary service updates.
John, can you provide some words here that we can post (in particular, required AIX release & APAR versions)? Thanks in advance.
