Description Donald Oakes

2015-09-11 18:37:17 EDT

Sometimes when running and Eclipse Application debug configuration, the child workspace crashes with the following stack trace.  Once this happens, it will occur every time I try to invoke the launch configuration.  The only way I've found to work around this is to create a brand new launch config.

I encountered the same issue. 
I tried copying existing launch configuration but that did not resolve the issue. Only workaround is to create a new launch configuration.

I have also seen this exception when starting a regular Eclipse installation.

Can you provide steps?

So have I. In fact I have it right now. It occurred after having to kill eclipse as it was hung in search). My stack trace is

I tried that with the steps in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=519185#c30 but there was no issue on the next start.

Can you attach the complete stack trace?

Comment 8 Stuart Fairful

I am getting a very similar exception, though it is originating in a different place.  This is happening at start-up, and it is happening almost every time.  I've just upgraded to Oxygen 2, which made no difference.  I'm running OSX and the only way I can get it to start up by going into the contents of the Eclipse.app and removing the directory /Applications/Eclipse.app/Contents/Eclipse/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi.  (It looked like a bundle cache so I thought what the hell...) I now have to do this before every start up.

Stack trace as follows

Comment 9 Stephan Herrmann

2018-01-08 16:23:10 EST

The following call chains wants to be executed on the UI thread:

org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaPlugin.start
 ----...see comment 8...---->
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaUIPreferenceInitializer.initializeDefaultPreferences
org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PreferenceConstants.initializeDefaultValues
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaUIPreferenceInitializer.setThemeBasedPreferences
org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaUIPreferenceInitializer.setDefault
class loader for org.eclipse.jface.preference.PreferenceConverter
org.eclipse.jface.preference.PreferenceConverter.<clinit>
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.getDefault
 ----...more from comment 8...---->
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.createDisplay
org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.error

The "Invalid thread access", however, seems to be secondary. Apparently we didn't succeed to create a display in the first place, and bail out while trying to report that error. At this point ...
- we have a different problem than was reported in comment 0
- things depend on OS-specific parts of SWT.

Anyway, requiring a display in order to report that no display could be created doesn't look good to me :)

Comment 10 Faiez Za

I encountered the same issue when I run JUnit plugin test.
I have a test plugin generated by EMF tooling. Then, I completed the generated tests.
When I do "Class"Test.java -> right click ->run as -> JUnit plugin test,
my tests are correct but the console shows the following:

No, it is not same:

Please report a bug for Mylyn commons.

I think I have hit this bug too, which I originally found on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47872166/eclipse-oxygen-fails-to-run-org-eclipse-swt-swtexception-invalid-thread-acces). Deleting the configuration/org.eclipse.osgi directory from the configuration directory got me back up and running again. This happened on Windows 10, and it has happened with both jdk -.8.0_131 and jdk-9.0.4.

I decided to make a note that I *think* that this was triggered when internet connectivity was interrupted during some kind of bundle-download-related network operation (but I have not attempted to conclusively reproduce this).

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.

I had the same problem after a failed update attempt of my workspace.

I could fix the issue by deleting a bunch of cache files in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core

I hope it will helps others facing the same issue.

To be more specific : I was able to fix the same issue in another workspace only by deleting the *.index files in .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.jdt.core\
