Hello, I downloaded M6, but I can't start it. Eclipse throws the following exception: !SESSION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 Jan 29, 2004 15:25:45.949 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:84) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:279) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:742) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:581) The exception is contained in the .log file. My Linux (Debian) version: # uname -a Linux XXX 2.4.23-1-686 #1 Sun Nov 30 20:51:10 EST 2003 i686 GNU/Linux Regards, Martin
Have you, by any chance, extracted the Eclipse install on top of a previous version?
No, I extracted the zip archive to a new folder and created a new workspace with the -data parameter. Regards, Martin
Maybe a duplicate of bug 49349. Would it be possible for you to give a try to a more recent integration build (>= i20040121)? Also, do you start Eclipse from command-line? If not, could you do it? Do you get any messages in the console (currently, lower level errors are output there)? Thanks.
I tried I20040129, here the result: !SESSION ---------------------------------------------------------------------- !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.launcher 4 0 Jan 30, 2004 10:04:32.886 !MESSAGE Exception launching the Eclipse Platform: !STACK java.lang.IllegalStateException: Unable to acquire application service at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:100) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:279) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:742) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:581) My shell script to start eclipse: #!/bin/sh cd /home/mburger/bin/eclipse-SDK-I20040129-linux-motif ./eclipse -data /home/mburger/eclipse/workspace-I20040129 & Perhaps the problem is connected to this one: Bug# 44735 If I start Eclipse at the server (ssh -X) it works, but if I start it at my workstation (here, my home directory is imported via NFS) it fails.
Yup, I bet you are right. Since M6, we have had a hole in error reporting for problems that happen while starting up the platform (see bug 50577). This will be improved starting from today's build (there will be one at 11:30AM EST). I thought about adding you to the other PR (bug 44735), but just noticed you are the reporter. Please reopen this bug if after trying with a build >= 20040130 you don't get a similar message in the log as you got on M5. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 44735 ***
