[RESOLVED]Can't start Luna (eclipse crashes) [message #1451384]

Hi,

I installed eclipse-java-luna-SR1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz on my laptop and cannot get it started and I am not sure how to work around the error messages which are shown in the attached file.

I did a search on:

The org.eclipse.m2e.logback.configuration bundle was activated before the state location was initialized.

and found someone who had the same message, but in their case, eclipse started, but with a blank window. It was interesting that they had installed the same release that I am working with.

I am running Eclipse on the Crunchbang Wheezy release with backports from the Waldorf release. My $JAVA_HOME is set to /usr/share/java/jdk1.8.0_20.

The output of uname -a is:

Linux furillo 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.41-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can anyone suggest what I should do? My first inclination is to try another release, which is probably what I will do. I am also inclined to submit a bug report since I would expect luna to work out of the box.

Please check the following list of bugs if one of them fits your situation:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?classification=Eclipse&component=SWT&list_id=10340959&longdesc=gdk_display_open&longdesc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Platform&query_format=advanced

Note: I simply extracted the word gdk_display_open from the fatal part of your error log.

In particular, I guess the following comment should help you:

Stephan,

Thank you very much for the help. The item that you pointed me to:

was what I needed. That item suggested adding the lines:

--launcher.GTK_version
2

to eclipse.ini. The first time, I added it add the end of the file and included the blank line and eclipse failed to start and said it did not recognize '--launcher.GTK_version'. I tried moving it to the beginning of the file and it worked.

Regards,
Jim
