I20050215-2300 I can't open new workbench windows on OS X. When I do, it seems as if nothing happens. A new "Eclipse Platform" entry is created in the Window menu and the following stacktrace is in the log. java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Argument not valid at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2823) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2762) at org.eclipse.swt.SWT.error(SWT.java:2733) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.CTabFolder.setTabPosition(CTabFolder.java:3426) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.PaneFolder.setTabPosition(PaneFolder.java:573) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.defaultpresentation.DefaultTabFolder.setTabPosition(DefaultTabFol der.java:379) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.defaultpresentation.DefaultTabPositionListener.handleValue(Defaul tTabPositionListener.java:33) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.AbstractIntegerListener.update(AbstractIntegerListener.java: 43) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.AbstractPropertyListener.listenerAttached(AbstractPropertyListener.ja va:29) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.PropertyListenerList.add(PropertyListenerList.java:146) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.PropertyMapAdapter.addListener(PropertyMapAdapter.java: 83) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.preferences.AbstractIntegerListener.attach(AbstractIntegerListener.java: 35) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.defaultpresentation.DefaultTabPositionListener.<init>(DefaultTabP ositionListener.java:26) at org.eclipse.ui.presentations.WorkbenchPresentationFactory.createEditorPresentation(WorkbenchPresent ationFactory.java:76) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.presentations.PresentationFactoryUtil.createPresentation(PresentationFactoryUtil.j ava:42) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartStack.createControl(PartStack.java:470) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.PartSashContainer.createControl(PartSashContainer.java:485) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorSashContainer.createControl(EditorSashContainer.java:421) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.EditorAreaHelper.<init>(EditorAreaHelper.java:52) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.init(WorkbenchPage.java:2030) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchPage.<init>(WorkbenchPage.java:518) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.WorkbenchWindow.busyOpenPage(WorkbenchWindow.java:569) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.busyOpenWorkbenchWindow(Workbench.java:587) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.access$10(Workbench.java:577) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench$15.run(Workbench.java:1365) at org.eclipse.swt.custom.BusyIndicator.showWhile(BusyIndicator.java:69) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.openWorkbenchWindow(Workbench.java:1362) at org.eclipse.ui.actions.OpenInNewWindowAction.run(OpenInNewWindowAction.java:103) at org.eclipse.jface.action.Action.runWithEvent(Action.java:1003) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.handleWidgetSelection(ActionContributionItem.java: 557) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem.access$2(ActionContributionItem.java:507) at org.eclipse.jface.action.ActionContributionItem$6.handleEvent(ActionContributionItem.java: 421) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.EventTable.sendEvent(EventTable.java:82) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1237) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1261) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.sendEvent(Widget.java:1246) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget.notifyListeners(Widget.java:1094) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.runDeferredEvents(Display.java:2903) at org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.readAndDispatch(Display.java:2571) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runEventLoop(Workbench.java:1612) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.runUI(Workbench.java:1578) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.Workbench.createAndRunWorkbench(Workbench.java:293) at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:144) at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.IDEApplication.run(IDEApplication.java:102) at org.eclipse.core.internal.runtime.PlatformActivator$1.run(PlatformActivator.java:228) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:333) at org.eclipse.core.runtime.adaptor.EclipseStarter.run(EclipseStarter.java:150) 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.invokeFramework(Main.java:268) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.basicRun(Main.java:260) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.run(Main.java:887) at org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main.main(Main.java:871)
On startup te windows DO appear.
(By that I mean that the windows Ihad tried to open before all appear and that I can open new windows as well)
This would only happen if the preference store somehow got grunged. The only valid values for the tab position preference are SWT.TOP and SWT.BOTTOM. The preference must have somehow got set to something else, and DefaultTabFolder passed it directly to SWT, which had a fit. If you can reproduce whatever bug caused your preference store to get hosed, please add a note here.
There are currently no plans to work on this feature. PW
Changes requested on bug 193523
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. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. 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.
