Provide informational dialog when SWT/Mozilla is not configured correctly on non-Windows OSes. Update the Manual Test Runner to return an error message to the launching client workbench when launching the Manual Test view instructing the user of the follow issues and any possible solutions: http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/releasenotes/releasenotes4_1_0.html#1_7_5 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115104) http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/releasenotes/releasenotes4_1_0.html#1_7_8 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=115648)
*** Bug 115104 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Informational dialog (or [possibly runner's configuration) should contain the following: The X Windows System is unable to use file descriptors above 255. Because the JVM holds file descriptors for open jar files, X can run out of file descriptors. As a workaround, you can set the JAVA_HIGH_ZIPFDS environment variable to tell the JVM to use higher file descriptors for jar files. To use the JAVA_HIGH_ZIPFDS environment variable, set it to a value between 0 and 512. The JVM will then open the first jar files using file descriptors up to 1024. For example, if your program is likely to load 300 jar files: export JAVA_HIGH_ZIPFDS=300 The first 300 jar files will then be loaded using the file descriptors 724 to 1023. Any jar files opened after that will be opened in the normal range. [Source: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=106396 and http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/50/sdkandruntimeguide.lnx.en.html] In the context of the Agent Controller, the problem appears more often, because the Agent Controller (which creates the eclipse process) adds to the process stack its own set of open files. This is recognized as a X window system bug, and if you use an IBM JRE, the work-around is to set JAVA_HIGH_ZIPFDS to a value such as 500 (before launching the Agent Controller!).
Retargeting to 4.4 as decided in today's AG call (only permitting blocking and critical defects in 4.3 i3).
The fix for this defect will produce the necessary meaningful error messages. However, error messages originating from any test runner are not displayed (e.g. dialog) to the launching client workbench. This will be handled under defect #178595. The following files checked-in to CVS (HEAD): org.eclipse.tptp.test.manual.runner.core.internal.ManualTestRunner.java org.eclipse.hyades.test.tools.core\src-manual-runner\manualRunner.properties
Reporter: Please verify and close in preparation for shutting down the TPTP 4.4 release. Thanks.
Verified in TPTP-4.4.0-200706140100C.
