Mike Millson commented on JBIDE-469:
------------------------------------
I have found a way to make this work. Instead of executing the eclipse binary directly, I
start eclipse as follows:
java -jar startup.jar
This creates the following directories inside the configuration directory:
org.eclipse.core.runtime
org.eclipse.osgi
org.eclipse.update
And it creates the following file inside the configuration directory:
.settings
Eclipse starts up without any errors. Then if I run the eclipse executable directly, it
starts. Apparently it was not starting up before because it was not able to create the
configuration files it needs. But once the pump is primed by executing startup.jar
directly, the executable works. I tried this on both the stock 3.1.2 eclipse and JBossIDE
1.6.0, and it works with both.
Well, at least there is a path forward for using JBoss IDE 1.6.0 on RHEL5.
Do you have any idea what is going on w/ Eclipse to cause this solution to work? I can see
it works, but it doesn't make any sense to me.
Does Not Launch on RHEL 5

Key: JBIDE-469
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-469
Project: JBoss IDE
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JBossIDE Core
Affects Versions: 1.6
Environment: RHEL 5 Workstation
Reporter: Mike Millson
Assigned To: Marshall Culpepper
Attachments: problems-opening-page.png, startup.log
When I run the eclipse exectable, the JBoss IDE splash screen appears, then the
"Select A Workspace" dialogue. After I select my workspace and click OK, Eclipse
shows packages that it is loading. The last package loaded ends in ui.forms. Then the
following error message is displayed (see attached screen shot):
Problems Opening Page
XPCOM error -2147467262
When I click the OK button on the error dialogue, the "Welcome to JBoss IDE
1.6" dialogue is displayed. I cancel out of this dialogue (nothing to convert), and
nothing is displayed. Eclipse just hangs.
