Eclipse 200405211200 (M9) On Solaris, a core library is not loaded at startup. I get this message in the log: !SESSION May 31, 2004 08:13:47.66 ---------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I200405211200 java.version=1.4.1_06 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc. BootLoader constants: OS=solaris, ARCH=sparc, WS=motif, NL=en !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 1 1 May 31, 2004 08:13:47.67 !MESSAGE Could not load library: libcore_2_1_0b.so. This library provides platform-specific optimizations for certain file system operations. This library is not present on all platforms, so this may not be an error. The resources plug-in will safely fall back to using java.io.File functionality.
This happens on AIX as well: !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.resources 1 1 May 31, 2004 08:23:20.322 !MESSAGE Could not load library: libcore_2_1_0b.a. This library provides platform-specific optimizations for certain file system operations. This library is not present on all platforms, so this may not be an error. The resources plug-in will safely fall back to using java.io.File functionality. It does NOT happen on HPUX.
This does not happen on startup. This happens when you create a java project on Solaris or on AIX.
We don't provide OS-specific libraries for the resources plugin on AIX or SunOS/Solaris. This is normal.
This error did not happen before. Why is it showing up now?
I am reopening the bug because it is showing up in the log file. We need to remove it. It is confusing us.
As the message indicates, the platform will behave ok without the existance of this library. This is a warning/informational message only. I don't know why you didn't see this message before, it should have always happened. We contribute the core library to the Win32 and Linux platforms. People in the community contribute to QNX, MacOSX and HP-AIX since these platforms are extra important to them. We would be happy to accept your contribution and maintenance of a library to the Solaris platform. See bug 12358 comment #6 for a list of things required to make the contribution accepted. Note that we are at the end of the release cycle and if you are to contribute a library at this point, it is questionable as to whether we will have time to include it in Eclipse 3.0...it might have to wait until the next release.
Changing title to reflect real problem. Note that this is also a duplicate of bug 36315.
We have been testing CDT with Eclipse on Solaris for quite some time and this message has not been visible until now. Something has change to bring up this message. It will come up when: -you create the first project in a workspace -or you launch eclipse and you have at least one existing project Is it possible to remove the message?
I don't think it is a duplicate of 36315 because the log error just started to show up with build M9. 36315 mentions that the Solaris version is missing libcore functionality. However, starting with the M9 build, we see that Eclipse complains about it in the log file. I am reopening this bug for the purpose of removing the message from the log. It does not look good because it is confusing the user.
Changed summary to reflect your latest concerns. Old summary: Core Library not included in Solaris builds The message has always appeared in the log file. I just tried it on a build from December and it was there. The log file is the only place that we have to print out this information so we will not be removing it. The user shouldn't be confused since it is printed as an info message rather than an error message. When the Error Log View is opened on the log they see the "blue i" info icon rather than the red X icon.
