Description Thorsten Heit CLA 2014-08-21 08:55:28 EDT 
See bug #442260:
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.

To be able to run Eclipse under Java 8 on Solaris x86_64, we need a native 64-bit-launcher for Solaris x86/64 besides the 64-bit SWT libraries (see bug #442260):

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

Shell script to apply the patches to rt.equinox.framework and rt.equinox.binaries

This bug entry is basically the same as #429335, but for Eclipse 4.5. The script and patches here are slightly simplified, and additionally adapted to fit to the master branch.

Solaris builds are no longer produced. Whoever wants to keep supporting it should provide a publicly visible machine, give ssh access to it so automated builds can happen and verify that it keeps working at least every milestone.
