NoClassDefFoundError on AggregateProxyPackage [message #921612] Mon, 24 September 2012 09:18 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello,

[I already asked in the QVT group but the more I analyze this the more I
feel the root cause is in the EMF part of my eclips installation.]

I'm getting the following fatal error with a QVT project:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class

I can't open the class AggregateProxyPackage though in the editor
(Ctrl+Shift+T).

What could possibly be wrong with my installation?!?

Maybe there are other messages in the Error log? It looks like it's not
simply not finding the class, but that it's having a problem while
initializing it that class...

Thanks for the hint, it got me closer to the root cause. Indeed it seems
there's an NPE in AggregatePackageImpl, but for some weired reason I'm
unable to browse the source of any of the classes beneath
org/eclipse/emf/facet/aggregate/. What's even more strange is that when
I set a breakpoint for NPE I am shown the source of AggregatePackageImpl
and I can see which variable is null (aggregateEClass) - but I can't set
any breakpoints in there, like to trace when/if createPackageContents()
is being called.

ls eclipse/plugins/*aggreg* shows:
drwxrwxr-x 6 mgroeger mgroeger 4096 Aug 16 11:18

Marius,

Maybe it will help if via the PDE's Plug-ins view you select all the
plugins (or at least these) and tell it to add them to Java search. Then
Ctrl-Shift-T should locate them and then you should be able to set
breakpoints.

Thanks, that helped a lot. I think I'm now able to pinpoint a bug in the
initialization order of this facet stuff:

- AggregateProxyPackage:init() is called

- AggregatePackageImpl theAggregatePackage = ... assignment causes
partial setup of AggregatePackage

(As a side note, in my version this line features a whopping 269
characters on a single line, including a double access to the
model registry. Perhaps the codegen templates should be changed to
insert some line breaks and/or cache the registry lookup.)

- AggregatePackageImpl.initializePackageContents() is called, but this
methods expects that AggregatePackageImpl.createPackageContents()
has already been called to have a valid 'aggregateEClass'. But
aggregateEClass is still null and so I get an NPE.

- theAggregatePackage.createPackageContents() is called - too late!

So what are my options:

a) should I file a bug?
b) is there any work around?

Thanks
Marius

Notice that when I call:

AggregatePackage pkg = AggregatePackage.eINSTANCE;

in an IStartup class, the issue goes away. Apparently in my specific use
case (QVT, XSD Ecore models) the AggregateProxyPackage is tried to be
initialized first, which does not work due to a bug in the init code.

Marius,

I could imagine that if different threads try to initialize different
packages that depend on each other, things might go wrong. Even locks
don't help in this kind of case; they'd just cause deadlock. If you
know the set of packages you're going to use, it's a good workaround to
initialize them early.

Hm. Well, the issue appears fully reproducible with my setup, and that
includes(!) both my development Eclipse instance as well as runtime. It
seems to me that consistently AggreateProxyPackage is initialized first.
It really doesn't looks to be a glitch. I really wonder if this works
anywhere correctly. Putting it differently: as some knowing all this so
much better - from what place would you say is AggregatePackage are
AggreateProxyPackage "usually" accessed/inited first?

Btw, notice my usage in conjunction with QVT and XSD Ecore, which
appears not to be used _that_ widely.

Secondly, my work around is a magic plugin to be dropped in "dropins".
While we will be able to live with this situation, it limits a bit the
trust in the selected technology.

So if it's ok for you, I'll at least file it as a bug.

Regards
Marius

I'm not sure which depends on which, but even that shouldn't matter. I
assume they're not mutually dependent but that could be the case as
well, but then they'd be in the same project

You have to keep in mind that this package initialization logic has
existed for well over a decade, with fixes along the way. There is not
a general

As long as there's a reproducible test case, that's fine, but if that
involves "install plugins from project x, y, and z," then it will be x,
y, and z's responsibility to investigate so open a bug for those. If it
involves "here are some zipped projects you can import into any
workspace where EMF is installed and run blah to see the problem," then
I'll have a look.

I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, sorry if I did. I'll try to make
this as easily reproducible as possible and then file an issue. Thanks
for your help so far.
