Can't create Java Run Configuration [message #249131] Tue, 30 October 2007 01:37 Go to next message

This used to work ... about a month ago ... that was the last time I had
to create a new Java configuration. No idea what could have changed.

In Java perspective:
- Run / Run
- Right Click on Java Application and click "New" to create new
configuration
No configuration is created. There is a brief flash of something in the
bottom of the dialog box like it's going to create the new configuration
.. but then nothing happens

Using:
Ubuntu 7.04
Eclipse Project SDK 3.2.1.r322_v20070104
Java6 JRE

No idea where to even start looking for the cause of this. Any help
really, really appreciated.

James,

Have a look in the Error Log view for logged exceptions.

Thanks. Found the log, but still pretty confused. The first ENTRY message
looks like a warning, but not sure if the second ENTRY is a warning or
just information. Wondering if this means there's an error with
"org.apache.xerces.dom.DocumentImpl.getXmlStandalone". I'm using a Xerces
jar in my program, but don't think that can be related, because I'm just
trying to create a run configuration at this stage ... so program wouldn't
even be loaded (right??). Or maybe this isn't even a warning? ... brain
hurts ....

Is the Xerces JAR you're using for your program somehow making its way
onto the classpath that Eclipse is running with? For example, is it in
the ext/ directory of your JDK or JRE?

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks for the idea Eric ... don't think it was exactly that but it gave
me an idea and I have solved the issue ... by installing JRE 1.5 and using
that instead of Java 6

I'm still not sure what was happening ... but I assume Xerces was being
used somewhere by Eclipse and that was having trouble with Java 6. I
searched a lot of forums and found someone saying that. ... so as I tried
1.5 and bingo! can now create Run Configurations.

Still very vague about why this happened. On this system I've only ever
used Java 6 and everything used to be OK. Can only guess that something I
have updated its Xerces when I did a "Find and Install Updates" in
Eclipse. Also feel I'm making too many guesses ....

Eclipse does not include Xerces (or any other specific parser as far as
I know); it used to (long ago, in version 2.x or maybe earlier), but now
it just uses standard JAXP interfaces and relies on the XML parser that
is shipped with JDK 1.4 and above.
I'd bet a beverage or two that something had installed Xerces into the
/ext directory of your Java 6 installation.

Glad you up and running, in any case.

Eric
