I installed the new eclipse rpm over the weekend, and I can no longer
use the eclipse help system. Tables of contents will display on an
internal help window, but attempting to display any help item produces:
Unhandled event loop exception
Reason:
org/apache/catalina/Logger
I did a yum update over the weekend as well. My eclipse setup is screwed
up, tool. I had a perl editor installed, but it is now gone and other
screens don't function.
Did you file any bugs? I don't understand how your perl editor could be
gone - did you install it in ~/.eclipse or some other way? What are "other
screens" and how don't they function? Try removing ~/.eclipse or moving it
out of the way. Also try a new workspace.
Thanks for your response.
I didn't file any bugs. It turned out to be quicker simply to download
the eclipse SDK tarball from eclipse.org and install it. I had to
re-install the perl editor using the Update URL
(http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates) after the install, but that was pretty
quick, too. That's how I did the original install as well.
All is working fine now.
I'm not sure why the perl editor got wiped out after the yum update. The
other screens that were not working include the software update screen
which gave me an error. At that point, I figured to go back to the
source anyway; I thought it would be quicker since that is how I had
installed eclipse before FC4.
Part of the issue may be that the workspace I use is on a shared NFS
directory. I do this to use the same workspace when working at my
workstation (FC2) or roaming about the house on my laptop (FC4). Of
course, I'd have to close out of eclipse when switching machines.
Eclipse didn't like this switching though. I don't think it would close
down cleanly. Ever since switching to FC4 on my laptop, I'd often have
to clean out some of the workspace before eclipse would open it:
rm
/home/shared/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.snap
rm
/home/shared/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.root/.markers.snap
This only started after upgrading to FC4 and its accompanying version of
eclipse.
Take care,
Kurt
