I downloaded and unzipped "eclipse-SDK-4.2.2-aix-gtk-ppc64.zip" to my AIX 7.1 system.

I ran into issues with XWindows (Exceed) and discovered the -nosplash. However, I am still experiencing an XWindows error upon starting eclipse.

Here is what I am entering on the command line.
./eclipse -vm /usr/java6_64/jre/bin/ -nosplash -debug

I get the "Workspace Launcher" screen. I hit OK to accept the default workspace. The "Workspace Launcher" screen disappears, and a box blips quickly on the screen for about 1/10th of a second, and the error is displayed, and I get my prompt back.

I have AIX 7.1, Exceed version 12, gtk2-2.10.6-5.

The debug output to the screen.

The program 'Eclipse' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)'.
(Details: serial 1617 error_code 3 request_code 42 minor_code 0)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)


Here is the log from the ~/eclipse/configuration directory.

An error has occurred. See the log file

Similare issue is already reported on earlier versions but none of the suggested solutions helped me to resolve this issue.

Have you found any solution?
