Can not launch Eclipse in RH Enterprise 3 [message #299331] Tue, 14 February 2006 18:49 Go to next message

Oh man, i have not been able to get to a resolution on this. I hope you
can help. After a recent update to RedHat enterprise 3 i am unable to
launch Eclipse. Eclipse will start to initialize, show the splash screen
and then prompt for a workspace. When i select 'any' location on my linux
box for a workspace, eclispe displays the error box that says "Workspace
in use, choose a different one." I have read sevearl post regarding
similar problems. There is the .lock file in the .../workspace/.metadata/
directory. I have removed all .lock files and even my entire workspace
directory for that matter. I have also removed the ~.metadata directory
and i stil recieve the prompt to select a workspace.

Now from most post i have read I have undestood that this problem can do
with lauching multiple instances of Eclipse at the same time. Here is the
commmand i am using to launch Eclipse with:

eclipse -vm /home/brad/Java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java

When Eclipse is prompting for a workspace i ran a "ps -ef" on another
terminal and it show many Eclipse threads, this seems like it might be
useful in determining a resolution:

These are very weird. I don't normally see this. Do you have Eclipse from
our download site, or from Red Hat? If it's the Red Hat RPM you have
installed, then you should contact them.

You can try adding the following to the command-line:
-vmargs -Dosgi.locking=none



cheers,
d.
