Subject: eclipse-rcp: eclipse 3.8 hangs on splash screen with "Loading Workbench" after update from 3.7.2

Date: Sat, 11 Aug 2012 19:44:12 +0200

Package: eclipse-rcp
Version: 3.8.0~rc4-1
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

I did an apt-get dist-upgrade which upgraded my eclipse from 3.7.2 to
3.8.0~rc4-1.

After the upgrade, when I start eclipse, it hangs at the splash screen with
"Loading Workbench".

After removing ~/.eclipse and restarting "eclipse", I get this log in
~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.8_155965261/configuration/1344688663520.log:

Hi Felix,

!MESSAGE The artifact file for osgi.bundle,javax.servlet,2.5.0.v200806031605
was not found.

This should not happen, Eclipse 3.8 uses javax.servlet 3.0.0. Please paste here
the contents of your

 /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info

Maybe it wasn't updated for some reason.

Also please create an .options file somewhere, with following contents:

org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/reconciler=true
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/installregistry=true
org.eclipse.eclipse.p2.engine/engine/debug=true
osgi.checkConfiguration=true
org.eclipse.osgi/debug=true

Then run eclipse *from the same directory* where .options is placed, with these arguments:

/usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -consoleLog -debug

This should produce more debug information. Start with empty ~/.eclipse.

Please check if you have installed the latest version of libservlet3.0-java from Debian testing.
Even better if you can get a list of all dependencies of eclipse-rcp package and installed versions.

Do you have any additional plugins installed?

Also check /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins for any broken symlinks.

Regards

Jakub

Sorry for the late reply: your message ended up in my Spam folder (don't

Meanwhile I read this:

This seems to work fine right now :-)

Thanks a lot for your help, unfortunately I didn't receive it in time
(my own fault), and I am happy with 4.2 :-)

Looking forward to 4.2 in debian and Best Regards,

Just to make it clear, that bug is a wishlist item. Wheezy release is now frozen
so 4.2 will NOT make it into Debian until the next stable release is made
(a horizon of months) and it was never in our plan for Wheezy, as all the plugins
we have packaged run the same on Eclipse 3.8 (now the deprecated platform).

I'll close this report soon then. I tried to reproduce the problem, but without success.
It could be your local configuration issue, but also it's possible the bug is still
there affecting other users and might even persist into 4.2 release if not fixed
properly. Anyway, if you could still provide some of the information I asked previously,
you would be much helpful. I can't force you of course :)

Jakub

Oh I'm sorry, I didn't think of this when I deinstalled elipse
3.8.0~rc4-1 :-(

I'd really like to help you, but this file:
 /usr/lib/eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info
is not there any more.

> Start with empty ~/.eclipse.

I tried this, and it didn't change anything.

To make things easier for me, here are the versions of *all* installed
packages (of course some packages have been removed when I removed the
eclipse packages):
  http://pastebin.com/9cHJaj5J

> Do you have any additional plugins installed?

Yes, I installed "saferefactor" from here:
  http://dsc.ufcg.edu.br/~spg/saferefactor/

I will try to reproduce this on another wheezy machine.

Thanks and Good Luck!

It will be back when you reinstall eclipse-platform. That you are missing it right now
is a good sign, means you will get correct version from the latest package when installed
and we don't have to care about its content. You shouldn't ever run eclipse as root of course,
or it will be overwritten.

BTW, what do you have in /etc/eclipse.ini?

Thanks for the list, but please reinstall eclipse-platform and make a new one, current is
missing many packages as you noted. I assume you use 4.2 tarball from eclipse.org, so
reinstalling distribution Eclipse will not interfere with your work environment.

Use 'dpkg --list' to create the list, it will be easier for me to compare.

I assume you installed it from the update site as regular user, so running Eclipse without
~/.eclipse eliminates its possible influence on the configuration. You already tried this,
so I doubt the extra plugin is a source of the problem.

Many thanks,

Jakub

I created the .options file you suggested, and ran 
  /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -consoleLog -debug
from there (with an empty ~/.eclipse), here is the output:

Hi Felix,

Thanks for all the information you provided so far. I spent some time studying the logs but
couldn't make any final conclusion. All of the required packages you have installed seem to
be at their latest versions and I didn't find any fatal error related to bundle loading in
your debug logs.

Thinking of it more, maybe there is nothing wrong with the installation, but there is something
in your workspace that makes Eclipse hang during startup (but also it doesn't affect 4.2 binary
tarball).

When you run without ~/.eclipse do you see a workspace selection popup? If so, can you please
try to create a new empty workspace and look if Eclipse will start then?

If it happens that it's your current workspace that causes the hang on startup, are you able
to put somewhere for download a stripped down version? I think only the .metadata folder will
be sufficient, no projects that might contain private of confidential data. Please check
that the hang still occurs with the stripped workspace before uploading.

Regards,

Jakub

Yes, it starts with a clean workspace. I've got a simple workspace
without confidential data, which I uploaded and which shows the problem.

Could you provide a sample workspace with which eclipse crashes please?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hello there,

I had the same issue on a Debian SID x86_64.
As a sid, there was no eclipse update, only an install on July:
eclipse:amd64 (3.8.0~rc4-1)
The only openjdk update is from October 23rd
openjdk-6-jre:amd64 6b24-1.11.4-3 -> 6b24-1.11.5-1

The problem appeared after the SVN plugin uninstall (because of a plugin
problem) : when asked to reboot, I agreed and Eclipse would stop at the
point "Loading Workbench". Killing the graphic application launched what
seemed to be a deadlock, as the java process was taking all CPU time. A
simple "kill pid" stopped the process. Unfortunately, I have not kept the
details (haven't made a strace)

What was done:

aptitude remove eclipse
aptitude install eclipse
=> Nothing changed

aptitude install openjdk-7-jdk
update-alternatives --config java

=> I chose java7 and ran eclipse from a term. This solved the issue.
I than chose java6 (with update-alternative). Eclipse launches successfully.
Tried to launch eclipse form a graphical menu with success. No ~/.eclipse/
were deleted.

$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_24"

Hi,

What version of Java are you using to run Eclipse?  If in doubt, running
"readlink -f /usr/bin/java" should be a good guess.  Example:

"""
  $ readlink -f /usr/bin/java
  /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-i386/jre/bin/java
"""

If that gives you Java 6 (examples include java-6-openjdk or
java-6-sun-java), could you try with Java 7?  Ensure you have
openjdk-7-jdk installed and run (as root):

"""
  $ update-java-alternatives --set java-1.7.0-openjdk-i386
"""

To be honest, it sound like you have / had a different problem[1].

That said, I am glad you have resolved it and we will keep it in mind in
case others report problems with a similar set of symptoms.

~Niels

[1] The fact that is solved by upgrading Java6 to Java7 make it sound
like it is/was a bug in Java6.  The original problem includes a
configuration issue that (to my knowledge) has not been triggered by
bugs in OpenJDK (yet).

Correction; if you are on an i386 that above command is correct, though
it changes based on your architecture.  Running the following command
(yes, quotes in it are important) should give you a list of valid Java7
installations you can use with "update-java-alternatives --set":

"""
  # update-java-alternatives --list | awk '/1\.7/ { print $1 }'

"""

Hi,

I noticed a related bug in the Ubuntu bug tracker.  It might not be
quite the same issue afaict, but it does suggest that workspace can
become "corrupted".  This could explain why a eclipse starts with a
"clean workspace", but not with the original one.

Subject: eclipse 3.8 hangs on splash screen if workspace uses unavailable plugins

Date: Sun, 28 Jul 2013 16:40:22 +0200

Package: eclipse
Version: 3.8.0~rc4-1
Followup-For: Bug #684604

Hi,

I have had the same (or a very similar) problem. I have solved it on my
own but I wanted to tell my experience to help for a better resolution.

Basically, I had done a complete reinstall of my PC (formerly with
architecture i386, new with amd64, in case it's important), but kept my
home drive (with workspaces and ~/.eclipse directories).
Using the command /usr/lib/eclipse/eclipse -consoleLog -debug, I noticed
error messages regarding missing plugin libraries (com.android....
Sorry, I didn't keep it).

The solution was then to open a new workspace, reinstall all the missing
plugins, and then restart into the old "faulty" workspace, which worked
without further issue. One of my tries was to delete ~/.eclipse but it
didn't help, but perhaps it was part of the final resolution, difficult to
tell now.

Two last remarks:

1. Perhaps not all plugins lead to this issue, I suspect strongly the
Android ADT plugin and/or dependencies, but I had other plugins like
egit.
2. Even if it's possible to overcome this issue of missing plugins, it
should still be handled more nicely by eclipse, providing a clear
message to the user about missing plugins and allowing him/her to
install these missing plugins, without having to create a new workspace
to do this.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi,

I can use Eclipse 3.8.1-4 just fine here on my computer and I don't
really see the necessity for severity "grave" at the moment. Since the
package is not unusable, I'm in favor of downgrading the severity to
"important".

I reported this problem ages ago, and cannot test migration from 3.7.2
any more. Jakub was very kind to try to troubleshoot this with me.
I think this should be closed because it's probably no longer relevant.

Thanks for the Work and Best Regards,

Agreed. Well, then I think let's close this bug report and if anyone can
still experience this issue with the latest version of Eclipse he or she
should reopen this bug report.
