Problem on eclipse startup:org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Cannot initialize Drop [message #490811]

Since some days I have trouble when starting eclipse. The startup is discontinued and the log shows following entry:

I have already read alot of forum messages about
org.eclipse.swt.SWTError: Cannot initialize Drop
but the solutions are some years old (2005 and 2007) and I don't know if they are applicable.

Any idea, what the error is about? Thanks a lot!

Hi David,

There's an existing report for this, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=110166 . If you are able to
reproduce this problem reliably then your comments could be quite helpful
there. You say that the failure began happening a few days ago, and prior
to this it worked fine (?). Did you do anything (eg.- installing the J2EE
tools) that coincided with the failures starting to happen? Does plain
eclipse (no J2EE tools) work fine on this machine? Perhaps it's
locale-related? Are you running any other apps, including apps shown in the
system tray, when these failures occur?

My Windows copy of Eclipse also refuses to start since about a week due to the same error. As I wrote in Bugzilla's Bug 110166 (my error logs can be found there):

"I am having this problem since a couple of days. Running W7x64 RTM, Eclipse 3.5 SR1 (the "for Java EE Developers" package) and Java 6 Update 17 (16 previously).

I had not changed my Eclipse, which ran fine, and Java configuration when the problem started occurring. Running a fresh copy of Eclipse and reinstalling Java changed nothing.

Azureus (aka Vuze) is malfunctioning as well, apparently due to the same bug."

Wiping the workspace did not solve the problem.

Running the "for Java Developers" version did not help as well.

Tried the N20091110-2000 builds. The 32-bit crashed with precisely the same error, the 64-bit works fine (for a nightly, that is).

Hi All

You can reproduce the bug by following

Change you computer date on the past
start eclipse and it will give you that error on the log file.

One more thing My eclipse was already started, so after date changing I got popup error message saying SWT error, I close Eclipse and try to restarting again and this error happens

Hope that it will help you to reproduce the bug

eclipse version: Rational Software Architect 7.5.5
