[news.eclipse.platform] Re: Failed to Start Eclipse with Self-Build SDK

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Simon,
There is a bug in the source build scripts.  The solaris.motif.sparc build is 
using the gtk launcher instead of the motif launcher.  I have raised 
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=189969.

Go to features/org.eclipse.platform/build.xml
Look for the ant target "rootFilessolaris_motif_sparc".
See the copy task that contains the following:
<fileset 
dir="${basedir}/../../features/org.eclipse.platform.launchers/bin/gtk/solaris/sparc" 
includes="**" />
and change the bin/gtk/solaris to bin/motif/solaris

If you don't want to run the whole build again, you could just manually copy the 
files from features/org.eclipse.platform.launchers/bin/motif/solaris/sparc into 
your result.
