I just installed 3.1 on Solaris 9 using the Motif version from the
download area. This was a clean install, i.e. I'd never had Eclipse on
this system (or any other system -- I'm a first time user).
More than 90% of the time it hangs during startup. The spash shows up,
then Workspace Launcher pops up and asks where the workspace is. The
workspace does exist and is valid as far as I know. It was created
during one of the rare instances Eclipse actually started and only
contains the first few demo types of things from the getting started
documentation.
After clicking "OK" to the workspace location, the progress bar
("Loaded org.eclipse. ...") rarely shows up and the process has to be
killed (Ctl-C). The java process seems to be in a CPU loop, based on
"top". I don't know how to get any more detailed traceback information
than that, but would be happy to with a little guidance.
I've searched with Google, through the newbie newsgroup and Bugzilla but
haven't found anything that was quite like this.
At first I thought it was purely timing related. If I waited about 10
seconds before clicking "OK" (or pressing Return) at the Workspace
Launcher dialogue, it appeared to always hang. Clicking on OK
immediately when the dialogue came up appeared to usually get things
going.
However, after running dozens more tests, it's not consistent. I've
seen cases where an immediate response hangs, and some where waiting
ends up working. I also tried things like moving the mouse focus into
the dialogue after it appeared, crossing (or not) through the spash (to
put focus there for a moment), having the mouse pre-positioned where
the dialogue would come up, etc. None of these wild guesses appeared
to help narrow down the input criteria needed to cause the problem.
I would have checked the box on the dialogue to not ask me any more but
I don't know how to undo that if needed to continue working on the
problem.
I've appended the output of "./eclipse -debug -verbose -consoleLog".
The .log file in the workspace is empty.
Here's the Java version info:
$ /export/home/jrj/bin.opt/java -version
java version "1.4.2_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)
What other information can I gather to help track this down?

More details are in the bug report (109293), but Billy Biggs found a
similar problem reported about Opera that said use of
"XSUNTRANSPORT=shmem" in the environment is a bad thing. Sure enough, I
had added that to my .profile a few decades ago (seemed like a good idea
at the time) and it has gone along for the ride ever since. After I
commented that out and logged out/in, Eclipse has started up every time.
The only thing still not working is copy/paste to the Motif version, but
now that the GTK version is working for all the problems I had seen
(again, compliments of Billy Biggs), I can just work in that environment.
Many (many, many :-) thanks!
