Description Thorsten Heit

2014-08-21 08:36:28 EDT

Java 8 on Solaris/x86 is actually available only as 64-bit binaries. If you have set 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.

To be able to run Eclipse under Java 8 on Solaris x86_64, we need a native 64-bit-version of the SWT libraries for Solaris x86/64.

I'm attaching the necessary patches to solve this problem.

This bug entry is basically the same as #429332, but for Eclipse 4.5. The script and patches here are slightly simplified, and additionally adapted to fit to the master branch.

As mentioned in #429332, the Mozilla libraries had to be commented out because they exist only as 32-bit.

Gnome support is also not possible because at least Solaris 11.1 and 11.2 don't contain libgnome-2.so and libgnomeui-2.so as 64-bit-binaries for whatever reason.

Would you please provide patches via Gerrit? This is the way we accept contributions in swt and makes reviewing way more obvious..

Yes, sorry, didn't know that...

I just pushed the changes to Gerrit:

For eclipse.platform.swt:

For eclipse.platform.swt.binaries:
