Bug 106699

It contains a README, documenting which eclipse sub-packages exist. 
 
 

eclipse now requires eclipse-gtk2, so that selecting eclipse results in what 
the user most likely wanted to do. 
 
Submitted for beta4. 

Tha apache package is also a stub. It requires the user to choose between the 
three alternatives. This would be a good idea for eclipse too. I don't see any 
value in the package otherwise. 

Can´t install eclipse for architecture x86_64

Missing depends package libswt3-gtk2 for x86_64

On x86_64 the 32bit package is used. It installs and runs fine on beta4  
x86_64.

Screenshot YaST2 software manager message

YaST2 software manager can't install eclipse on x86_64 architecture

Can you attach /var/log/YaST2/badlist please ? 

And: which installation source(s) are you using? (i.e. what is configured in  
YaST -> Software -> Installation Source) 

On the OSS version, the eclipse* packages are in inst-source-java, and  
libswt3-gtk2 is in inst-source / on one of the CDs. Klaus, could this cause 
such a problem? 
 
Ruediger, can we move libswt3-gtk2 into the java install source? It is useless  
without java anyway. 
 
 

If both sources are enabled, this shouldn't cause problems. We need the answer 
from comment #9 to be sure. 

Can't install for next Installation Sources:
SUSE LINUX Version 10.0 (cd:///;devices=/dev/hdc)
USE LINUX Version 10.0
(http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS-beta4/inst-source-java)

(http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/suse/pub/suse/i386/10.0/SUSE-Linux10.0-Beta4-Extra/kernel-modules+firmware/CD1)

If use network Installation Sources:

Installation begin.

Probably x86_64 CDs incorrect?

But missing depends 'eclipse' on Java virtual machine cause:
leo@suse10-lpt:~> eclipse
Cannot find java virtual machine, aborting.

After install packages java-1_5_0-sun-* from
http://ftp.uni-erlangen.de/pub/mirrors/* installation source. `eclipse' fail to
start (see attachment).

Probably eclipse start x86_64 JVM, but
/home/leo/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/79/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3138.so
- i386 architecture.

Log of `eclipse' crash

We use a 32 bit eclipse because java 1.4.2 is only available in 32bit, so 
please use eclipse with a 32bit java. This may very well change with 10.1. 
 
I try to reproduce the problem with the x86_64 CDs now. 

Resume: eclipse - strict depends to java-1_4_2-sun*, but missng depends to it.
That rignt?

Startup log file

I am seeing this issue also. This is a new install of eclipse 3.1.  I have
removed the previous installation and all of it configuration files /
workspaces (from home directory and from /usr/share/eclipse). I am unable to
run as me or as root.

Closing this bug as WONTFIX as it hasn't been touched for almost 2 years. If you experience eclipse crashes with current 10.3 betas, please file new, separate bugs.
