What OSes are officially supported by GEF?
The reason I ask is that all (yes, ALL) GEF based editors consistently and
repeatably crash Eclipse on Windows 98se and Windows Me.
The crash happens when the editor is closed. About half the time, the GUI
freezes as well, requiring a reboot.
As per the GEF 3.1 (and 3.2) plans, GEF will support all OSes supported by
the Eclipse platform.
As per the Eclipse 3.1 (and 3.2) plan, Windows XP is the reference platform
for win32 and x86, but the plan(s) say(s):
"Although untested, the Eclipse SDK should work fine on other OSes that
support the same window system. For Win32: Windows 98, ME, NT, 2000, and
Server 2003"
The crash information is below. Unlike normal crashes, the
hs_err_pidXXXX.log is not created.
JAVAW caused a general protection fault

related to SWT. You should try to reduce the problematic editor to the
minimum components needed to reproduce the crash, and open a bugzilla with
the details. If possible, remove GEF and draw2d from the test case.

I only see the problem with GEF based editors.
Text based editors are fine.
So I don't think removing GEF and draw2D is an option.

I don't see your point. It's definitely an option, since all GEF and draw2d
do are make calls to SWT. All you have to do is isolate the SWT calls that
are causing the crash, and open a bug with the code.

That would mean stripping away several layers of code from GEF/draw2d to
develop a minimal editor.
No doubt, it would be a trial and error process.
And every couple of times it crashes, I am forced to reboot.
Unfortunately, I just don't have that kind of time, so I suppose I'll just
stop supporting Win98 & WinMe in my plugin.

Someone has to do it. You could start with nothing and build up. You could
also try to reproduce it in debug mode, and if it happens, step through the
shutdown events until it occurs.

I tried stepping through it until I finally wound up the event loop.
stepping through the event loop just got too tedious.
Anyway, I suppose that if I do have some free time in the future I could
look into it.
Right now, I have other job-related deadlines which take priority over this.
(This is for my personal open-source project.)
