Build ID: 3.2.1 Steps To Reproduce: 1.Execute the eclipse executable 2. 3. More information: The workbench will load if I blast my workspace or my workspace/.metadata folder.
Created attachment 56308 [details] My log file.
NOTE: Solaris Motif is dead. The world has switched to Solaris GTK.
I can appreciate the sentiment, however, we have a number of government (go figure) customers who still need to support Solaris Motif, so therefore, we need to support Solaris Motif.
Ok, I expect the same thing will happen in Eclipse 3.2.2 but you should give that a try. Also, I think you will need to attach the offending workspace as I believe that Eclipse 3.2.1 Solaris Motif starts (although I haven't tried it in a while). Try to delete as much from the workspace as possible and still retain the start up error.
For Solaris 8/9 support in Eclipse 3.3, see also bug 176805
FYI, in the Eclipse 3.3 stream the Launcher (eclipse exe) is missing for Solaris Motif. I filed bug 185734 to track this. Anybody interested in Solaris Motif may want to watch this by putting himself on CC there, and verify that it actually works in his environment.
My reading of this is that Eclipse won't start if a particular workspace is used. Is that true, or is that it fails if *any* workspace exists? If the former, then it's hard to understand why it is flagged as "critical"; sometimes workspaces get corrupted (and cause crashes). In any case, this is not a reference platform, so given how busy the SWT team usually is, it's unlikely that they will get to it. Marking as helpwanted. (Updated title to accurately reflect the platform.)
Downgrading the severity. Solaris Motif is not a supported Eclipse 3.4 platform.
Closing report, platform is discontinued.
