[jdt-debug-dev] problem getting output from JVM process

["David H Hovemeyer" <dhhoveme@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy,

I'm trying to get Eclipse running on Jikes RVM
(http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/oss/jikesrvm/).
Much Eclipse functionality works. However, running a Java
program in a JVM subprocess causes problems.
I've attached a stack trace from the Eclipse error log
windows to the end of this email.  Roughly, it seems that
the console window is seeing an inconsistent state
for the console document.  I suspect that there is
some kind of synchronization problem between the
thread that reads the process's stdout and the code
that updates the UI, but the (Eclipse) code is quite
complicated.

If anyone could give me a hint regarding where to start
looking for this problem, I'd appreciate it greatly.  It is certainly
possible that the bug is in Jikes RVM, since support for
processes is fairly new.

My platform is Linux (Redhat 7.2) on x86, the Eclipse version
is 2.0 build 20020612, and the GUI is Motif.
