Hi all, I just installed eclipse and I'm trying to create a new Java project but I get an error every time. Can someone shed some light on this? System info: RedHat 7.2 x86 (running OpenMotif instead of Lesstif) eclipse 20011219-linux-motif IBM Java2 SDK 1.3 eclipse installed in ~/eclipse It spits out the following stack trace when I create a project: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.Assert.isLegal(Assert.java:50) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.Assert.isLegal(Assert.java:35) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.Path.removeFirstSegments(Path.java:691) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaProject.canonicalizedPath (JavaProject.java:125) at org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.newLibraryEntry(JavaCore.java:561) at org.eclipse.jdt.core.JavaCore.getResolvedClasspathEntry(JavaCore.java:402) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaProject.projectPrerequisites (JavaProject.java:1491) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.core.JavaProject.hasClasspathCycle (JavaProject.java:1303) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.buildpaths.BuildPathsBlock.updateClassPathSt atus(BuildPathsBlock.java:473) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.buildpaths.BuildPathsBlock.buildPathDialogFi eldChanged(BuildPathsBlock.java:421) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.buildpaths.BuildPathsBlock.access$1 (BuildPathsBlock.java:419) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.buildpaths.BuildPathsBlock$BuildPathAdapter. dialogFieldChanged(BuildPathsBlock.java:406) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.dialogfields.DialogField.dialogFieldChanged (DialogField.java:65) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.dialogfields.ListDialogField.dialogFieldChan ged(ListDialogField.java:367) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.dialogfields.CheckedListDialogField.dialogFi eldChanged(CheckedListDialogField.java:101) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.dialogfields.ListDialogField.setElements (ListDialogField.java:445) at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.wizards.buildpaths.BuildPathsBlock.init (BuildPathsBlock.java:322) at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards.NewJavaProjectWizardPage.initBuildPaths (NewJavaProjectWizardPage.java:206) at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.wizards.NewJavaProjectWizardPage.setVisible (NewJavaProjectWizardPage.java:219) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.showPage(WizardDialog.java:882) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.nextPressed(WizardDialog.java:646) at org.eclipse.jface.wizard.WizardDialog.buttonPressed(WizardDialog.java:307) at org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog$1.widgetSelected(Dialog.java:344) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.TypedListener.handleEvent(TypedListener.java:85) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java(Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:489) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java(Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java(Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.runEventLoop(Window.java:536) at org.eclipse.jface.window.Window.open(Window.java:523) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.NewWizardAction.run(NewWizardAction.java:74) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.NewWizardDropDownAction.run (NewWizardDropDownAction.java:69) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:452) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection (ActionContributionItem.java:407) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetEvent (ActionContributionItem.java:361) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$0 (ActionContributionItem.java:352) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$ActionListener.handleEvent (ActionContributionItem.java:47) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java(Compiled Code)) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:489) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:1569) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:1423) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:815) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.run(Workbench.java:798) at org.eclipse.core.internal.boot.InternalBootLoader.run (InternalBootLoader.java:821) at org.eclipse.core.boot.BootLoader.run(BootLoader.java:285) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Native Method) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:151) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:502) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:362)
I get the same exception. I get it as soon as I click 'Next' or 'Finish' after entering a project name in the 'New Java Project' wizard. It does not matter if I use the default path or specify my own. This happens in both the 12/19 and 1/9 builds with both Motif and GTK. I am also running RH Linux 7.2 with the IBM 1.3 SDK. My installation directory is /usr/local/eclipse.
Joshua, could you please tell me what your project setup is, i.e. 1. Is your project under the workspace root? 2. If not, what is the path to your project? 3. Do you have external jars in the project's build path? 4. Do you use sym-links?
Added protection in JavaProject.canonicalizedPath(IPath), but would still like to undertstand the test case.
