Ubuntu 9.04
I just downloaded myeclipse-7.5.0-linux-gtk-x86.tgz.
Ran the install.
Ran MyEclipse.
Pulse popup wanted to install aspectj and uml2.
Ok I thought.
Installed.
Now I get “Problem Occurred” boxes and half the menus are missing.
Also right-click doesn’t work anywhere.
Also views don’t restore or iconize.
Messages include:
Problems occurred while trying to save the state of the workbench.
Could not read master table.
/home/kim/Workspaces/MyEclipse/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.safetable/org.eclipse.core.resources (Too many open files)
And log is huge and riddled with Binding() errors and file not found errors.
Argh – and after just renewing my pro subscription and waiting 2 hours for the download!I’m going to try to install it again without the aspectj and uml2 updates.
Ok. Reinstalled.
Tailed the install.log – quite uninteresting…
Anyway, after workspace specification, tailed .log.
All seemed reasonably ok.
Had a sticky beak and the eclipse.ini and noticed the VM was a common one.
So I saved the original and include my jdk1.6.0_13 one instead.
Started MyEclipse again.
Did not install aspectj or uml.
Seems fine, but the .log has quite a few entries with headings like this:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core 4 0 2009-06-18 11:51:05.142
!MESSAGE Provisioning exception
!SUBENTRY 1 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository 4 1000 2009-06-18 11:51:05.143
!MESSAGE Unable to read repository at file:/home/kim/Genuitec/MyEclipse 7.5/configuration/org.eclipse.osgi/bundles/424/data/listener_1925729951/.

(No such file or directory)
And so on.
I need SubVersion so I’m going to risk installing SubVersive from the pulse update popup.Bugger.
Subversive installed ok, but…
When I try to create a maven project, myeclipse gets totally weirded out.
Lot’s of popups with “Error” and “Show Console View” and so on.
The one that caught my eye is the inability to get the simple archetype.
Rats.
Oh well.
I’ll try 7.5 on my Mac tonight, but at work I’m back to plain 3.4I’m facing the same issue…. with the same S.O.
The problem is that I’ve tried 3 times and all of then one different error came out, now I’ll do the installation once again and let disable all updates till next version when I should remove all MyEclipse and install again.
I’ll do that, because I did have the same problem from 7.1 updating to 7.5 and from 7.5 updating to UML2 and etc. Just like you did.
May the problem is with pulse, but I’ll note take the risk once again.I’m considering just getting a vanilla 3.4.2 and using the update method.
Tomorrow though as I’m deep inside Spring and Hibernate at the moment…
🙂
I’ll update with the results of 7.5 on OS-X 10.4 later tonight.Guys, $10 says if you tail the workspace or explorer logs you’ll see system errors of “too many files open” — we see that too frequently on Linux because the default installs of Ubuntu (most popular choice) really lock down the number of open file handles that the OS will allow — unfortunately the Eclipse platform is huge and happily opens 10s of thousands of file handles with all the bundles that get loaded up — then you take MyEclipse ontop of that an you can run really easily into the low file limits set.
The good news is that it’s dead easy to increase those:
https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshooting-how-to-fix-too-many-open-files-on-linux/That should clear up the flaky behavior you are seeing.
You are all right, as I’m into office and with my deadline close, because Solaris (I still have one thread on forum), I’ll try this workaround this weekend in home, and if works, them I’ll run the update.
Thank youFYI, I ran into this same issue on Fedora 10. To test the file hypothesis I su’d to root and as root ran ‘ulimit -n 8192’ then ran MyEclipse and the issues went away. The workaround above is a more permanent version for all users, not just root.
