Hi guys, I'm learning Eclipse, so forgive me if I ask obvious questions.
I did try to find the answers online, but was unable to do so.
My system:
OS: Fedora Core 1
Kernel: 2.4.22-1.2197.nptl
Java: J2EE SDK 1.4.01
Eclipse: 3.0.1
X: XFree86 Version 4.3.0
KDE: 3.2.3
I upgraded Eclipse from 2.1 to 3.0.1 yesterday, and immediatey noticed
some issues:
1) Various keys don't seem to work consistently anymore.
Here's how I create it. I have a function with a try{} block. In the
catch() for one of the exceptions, it used to do a System.prinln, but I
change it to do a throw (e), where "e" is the exception I caught. This
causes a code-error to be flagged because my function doesn't have a
throws clause in it. So, I click on the red bubble on the left, it
pops-up the window where I double-click "Add throws declaration" it pops
up another window where I choose the appropriate package of the exception
being thrown, I double-click the appropriate package, and it adds my
throws clause. But now, when I click in the source code and hit the
delete key, nothing happens. Ctl-F doesn't work either so I can search.
However, if I switch windows out of Eclipse into another appliation, then
switch back, the keys are usuable again.
2) Cut/paste aren't working.
I select a word, hit Ctl-C, then immediately hit Ctl-V, and it doesn't
paste what I just copied, it pastes something from the KDE clipboard.
Using Ctl-Ins and Shift-Ins has the same effect. Right-clicking, select
Copy, right-click select Paste has the same effect.
3) Look and feel are wrong?
I've had this problem since 2.1, on my machine, Eclipse is basically all
grey - grey editor windows, grey backgrounds, etc. On my co-workers
system, using the same Linux version of Eclipse, he gets all white
dialogs, etc. I've tried repeatedly to change the overall look and feel
(without configuring each widget manually) to no avail. Is there a way to
apply an alternate Java look-and-feel to Eclipse?
4) Error 6 on exit.
Almost every time I exit Eclipse, I get a dialog that says basically error
6 occurred. It never seems to hurt anything, but it's annoying. Can't
find anything about error 6, what causes it, or how to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
-Jay

Hi Jay,
I saw your post and Douglas' reply, and just wanted to add a few things.

You say "immediately". Does it still paste the wrong contents if you
hit Ctrl-C, wait for a bit, and then hit Ctrl-V? The KDE tool which
keeps track of your clipboard history (klipper) does so by polling for
updates to the two Linux clipboards, and trying to keep them in sync.
Eclipse in 3.0 will first search the PRIMARY (middle-click) clipboard
when you hit paste, and so this is probably being caused by klipper
grabbing PRIMARY but being out of sync with CLIPBOARD.
I do not think that the bug report Douglas pointed you at was
correct. You might want to file a new one. Also, you may want to try
Eclipse 3.1M3 which comes out this week and changes this behaviour slightly.

Are you using the GTK+ or Motif version of Eclipse? The Motif
version is quite grey, as is the style of the toolkit. You might want
to make sure you are using the GTK+ version. If you really are using
the GTK+ version, you might want to post a screenshot of what you mean
exactly, since it sounds strange...
