Hello,

I keep getting this error under (Topic).

Any Hints? (If this is the right place to ask?)

Greetings,

Ralf

P.S. Java 6 under Snow Leopard runs fine (in contrast).

java version "1.6.0_15"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03-226)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.1-b02-92, mixed mode)

Hi,

I'd suggest asking this on the eclipse.platform newsgroup. I've never heard
of this problem before, and don't know what could cause JavaTimeZone to not
initialize.

Grant

Hello

I used to have the same issue in Eclipse Galileo SR2 and the latest beta, moreover when I clicked on "Project properties" it used to show "the currently displayed page contains invalid values" and a blank page. Very annoying.

To solve the issue:



  1. Decompress the com.ibm.icu_4.0.1.v20090822.jar file in the eclipse/plugins folder to any directory you like
    If you cannot find the exact version, just decompress the IBM ICU JAR that's shipped with your version of Eclipse
  2. In that directory, open the file com/ibm/icu/ICUConfig.properties
  3. Replace
    com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType = JDK

    with
    com.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType = ICU

  4. Recompress the com.ibm.icu_4.0.1.v20090822.jar file in the eclipse/plugins folder with the modified file


Make sure Eclipse is started with a clean cache, and it should work. The easiest way of cleaning the Eclipse cache is to remove the .plugins folder of your workspace.

Cheers

A best way is to add this line in eclipse.ini file :
-Dcom.ibm.icu.util.TimeZone.DefaultTimeZoneType=ICU

Thanks vercount! That worked for me too. The new Juno release was broken in Ubuntu, until I put in your ini fix!

I was able to replicate the bug on the command line without using Eclipse. I do not use the Ubuntu managed Eclipse package though, so I can't comment on whether the Eclipse Juno package was also broken. The cause for me was the upgrade of openjdk-7.

Reinstalling tzdata-java was the fix for me:

sudo apt-get --reinstall install tzdata-java

See the Ubuntu Launchpad bug number 1047762 for more details (I can't link to it as I don't have enough reputation)

Peter, based on your post, I think you narrowed it down and found the *real* problem. Thanks for sharing!

Further on my scenario: It had to have been the automatic Java upgrade that Ubuntu did, that broke my Eclipse, and was *not* the Eclipse distro itself that was the problem. The reason I was upgrading to Juno, was because Indigo had stopped working. But in reality it was the Java install that was broke. I think I let Ubuntu run some upgrades while something had the java files locked (like MySql instance), and the Java upgrading didn't comlete right. Anyway, this is TMI, but may help others.

I had the same problem. I am using Ubuntu Linux. For me, the solution is simple. Install tzdata-java and restart eclipse.

sudo apt-get install tzdata-java

The problem is not in eclipse. The problem is in java configuration.

Thank you so so much for posting this issue!!! The TimeZoneError was hidden in a very long and discombobulated stack trace, but on a whim I looked it up instead of the top level and found this. I can now read my C files again!!! Very Happy Also running Ubuntu, 12.04 with Open JDK 6.

reinstalling tzdata-java solves the problem completely so you don't have
to add the line to eclipse.ini
