Hi all,

I'm looking for a list, which swt version requires which java version, e.g.

swt 3.01(3064) -> 1.4.2_03
swt 3.1(3138) -> 1.4.2_06

to define a minimum and acceptable jre version/subversions for a swt
application.

For instance, one of our customers used hardware/software combination is
a HP c8000 workstation with HP-UX 11.11 and a installed Java 1.4.2_00 .

For this env we have problems to launch an SWT application with swt libs
like 3064 or above and I guess there is a version conflict which force
us to use a newer java version or to downgrade the used swt libs.

The application starts first, a user is able to login about a shell
dialog box and then, nothing happens - the main app window doesn't
appear, a process is just running - the app hangs; no idea to find out
what's going wrong.

Exists there a debug capability to pin down those kinds of problems?

If we try it with an own jre 1.4.2_03, the app starts without problems.


Many thanks for some suggestions!

Regards,
ANdreas

Hi all,

i read the older release notes of

http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_3_ 0.html up to
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_3_ 0_2.html

and see that eclipse has been tested and validated with hp-ux and the
jre 1.4.2.00.

Then I see following note, probably is this the problem we have and will
be checked tomorrow:

Missing permissions for SWT native libraries in workspace (HP-UX only)

When retrieving the SWT Motif fragment into an Eclipse workspace, the
permissions of the native libraries are reset. This creates a problem on
HP-UX because shared libraries need to have execute permission.
Attempting to self-host with this fragment throws an
UnsatisfiedLinkError...Permission Denied error. You must manually change
the permissions to make these libraries accessible (assume the workspace
is at /workspace):

cd /workspace/org.eclipse.swt.motif/os/hpux/PA_RISC
chmod 555 *.sl

ANdreas

As a side note, swt itself only requires a jre >= 1.1.8, but eclipse
requires the newer versions that you listed.
