JavaFX Preview Problem [message #1200956]

Hi,

I recenty noticed a significant increase of problems with the preview view. The Exception show indicates that it was attempted to be updated from a non-UI thread.
I had some problems with my Eclispe recently as well, so I reinstalled the whole thing and recreated a new workspace only days ago and it sticks with me.

The exception:

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Not on FX application thread; currentThread = JavaFX Application Thread
	at com.sun.javafx.tk.Toolkit.checkFxUserThread(Unknown Source)
	at com.sun.javafx.tk.quantum.QuantumToolkit.checkFxUserThread(Unknown Source)
	at javafx.scene.Scene.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at javafx.scene.Scene.<init>(Unknown Source)
	at org.eclipse.fx.ide.ui.preview.LivePreviewPart.createPartControl(LivePreviewPart.java:328)

Does anyone else notice this kind of failure? I'd file a bug, if necessary.

By the way: I'd like to attach an image, but I have no clue ATM how to do so... any hints?

Greetings,
Daniel

File a bug, and include you Java version and OS. This is really strange
because SWT & JavaFX share the same event-thread so createPartControl by
definition is called on SWT-UI-Thread this is really strange.

You are on the latest nigthly builds I guess?

You find the bug here.

Now that you mention it, I remember that SWT and JavaFX share the same thread! It has just sliped my mind... And yes: I'm using the nightlies but don't update them on a daily base - maybe I should.

There has been a change some weeks ago where I removed an asnycExec
block which made things fail with similar problems on my system with JDK
1.8.

I couldn't make any sense from the asyncExec but maybe this "fixed" the
issues you are seeing. For me the problem only happens with the preview
got opened on start up, so a fix is: close the view, restart eclipse,
open the view.

Ok thank you Tom, I was not able to willingly re-create that issue. But I will try your approach to try to confirm that (if it is still present, since I updated yesterday, just to be sure!).

So we're seeing this with our dashboard browser under Java 8 only when we reopen a view. See follow-up on Daniel's bug.

Thanks for finding the problem, Miles. I really hope, that it will be integrated into JavaFX itself, though.
