Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-1599:
-------------------------------------------
A few things ;) It's the first time I've bumped into someone expecting eclipse or any UI app to run without having Gnome or KDE or something similar started - that said, I agree that it should be explicitly stated if the error from Eclipse on startup on a Linux system that does not have GTK gives such a useless error message.
Note, running Gnome actually should not be necessary - KDE is fine too.
About the installers then there are many aspects in this.
The 10 installers - currently we have 8 of them; (Windows 32-bit, Linux-32, Linux-64, OSX Cocoa, OSX Carbon) * (with or without EAP). Adding a RPM as a wrapper around it would add two possibly four (if we need both 32 and 64 bit rpms): (RHEL-32, RHEL-64) * (with or without eap)
Bundled vs non-bundled EAP: We bundle EAP so we know it is configured out of the box to be used as a development server - the one coming in with EAP RPM's and other default installs are locked down and thus you would have that problem to fight with too.
Little work vs Big work: This is not a "little work" - it requires development, QE, maintenance and documentation.
Real RPM vs Wrapping RPM: The set of dependencies to run JBDS is not available on RHEL; we would need to go create those and that is a *massive* undertaking. That + the fact EAP used for production installs via RPM arent configured for development, is why we want to create the "wrapping" RPM.

> When loading JBDS without gnome running, the following error/issue is reported:
> GConf Error: Failed to contact configuration server; some possible causes are that you need to enable TCP/IP networking for ORBit, or you have stale NFS locks due to a system crash. See http://projects.gnome.org/gconf/ for information. (Details - 1: Failed to get connection to session: /bin/dbus-launch terminated abnormally without any error message)
