Are you attemping to run Eclipse in a 64bit environment? If this is the case, then I suggest that you subscribe to the fedora-java newsgroup as there are developer discussions/issues with 64bit architectures regarding Eclipse. Off the top of my head - make sure that you are using the correct libraries - I think that was the suggestions from others complaining about Eclipse not working. I am in a 32bit environment and dont have a 64bit system in my employ. >NL=en_US >Command-line arguments: -os linux -ws gtk -arch >x86_64 > >!ENTRY org.eclipse.osgi 2006-01-07 13:04:46.285 >!MESSAGE Application error >!STACK 1 >java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: >/home/hoffmann/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/configuratio >n/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/138/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so: >/home/hoffmann/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.1.1/configuratio >n/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/138/1/.cp/libswt-pi-gtk-3139.so: >cannot open shared object file: No such file or >directory > at >java.lang.ClassLoader$NativeLibrary.load(Native >Method) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary0(Unknown >Source) > at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary(Unknown >Source) > at java.lang.Runtime.loadLibrary0(Unknown >Source) > at java.lang.System.loadLibrary(Unknown >Source) > at >org.eclipse.swt.internal.Library.loadLibrary(Library.java:123) > at >org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS.<clinit>(OS.java:19) > at >org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:63) > at >org.eclipse.swt.internal.Converter.wcsToMbcs(Converter.java:54) > at >org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display.<clinit>(Display.java:122) > >After checking that file out, I realized that probably >the problem is that Eclipse "cannot see" Java 5.

But even so, I downloaded and installed the J2EE (WST 1.0) feature and got this somewhat working, the perpective J2EE works, all the bells and whistles appears but the problem is that the Tomcat and other JAS servers fluttered badly in the wind and just flat out does not work. I complained bitterly about this and of course FCG got defensive about it - and to be fair - the same problem directly from the eclipse.org group has the same problem on FC4 but not on Windows so the problem appears to be the WST package not working under FC4. Bugs galore are in the eclipse bugzilla and are being worked on (I hope) Now, I updated Eclipse port v3.1.1 on FC4 and *knock-knock on wood* it runs however - all the stuff I downloaded (updates) were stripped and the features (as WST) was stripped. So expect a FULL NEW installation! So I updated everything I could. At least in this version, the updates worked where in v3.1 it worked half-assed. :-o When I started up Eclipse v3.1.1, all of a sudden - my previous J2EE perspective fluttered badly - and was no longer supported - sigh - so my thought was to see if I can add the WST 1.0 feature back into the /usr/share/eclipse directory. Ahh... dang.... untarring/unzipping the wst-1.0 (root=eclipse) into /usr/share added the wst files in feature and plugins directories but then nothing happens at all. So using the Help->Software Updates->Manage Configuration, clicking 'Show disabled Features', scrolling to 'Web Standard Tools Features 1.0' and attempting to enable it will result: 'Requested operation cannot be performed because it would invalidate the current configuration. See details for more information' - the details says: 'This site is not updatable: /usr/share/eclipse' It appears the fedora-port somehow prevents these new 'features' from being enabled. Seems that Eclipse under Fedora is now controlled by Fedora and we are at the mercy of Fedora developers to come through for us and we cannot simply use Eclipse.org's version unless you install it completely standalone in the /usr/local directory as I have. This fedora-port excercise seems to be an attempt to stray from the original Eclipse.org source all in the name of trying to nativetize (non-bytecode) Eclipse - and I fear that you can no longer expect to easily download desired eclipse feature files from the Eclipse.org source and expect it to run/work as is without jumping through hoops to get these features to work 'the fedora way'. I hope that my fears are unfounded... At this time, there is no possible way for me to activate the wst 1.0 feature under Fedora's Eclipse 3.1.1 native port so that means I cannot get the J2EE features to work at all. I wonder where to go to find out what the heck the fedora-eclipse plans are and what exactly what we can do or cannot not do with their native porting of of eclipse and how to incorporate any eclipse.org features under their port. Seems the places go to so far are: fedora-java newsgroup (which is almost inactive or a very slow newsgroup), eclipse.org's newsgroups and just maybe the jpackage's "newsgroup" if there is one.
