RCP app may hang on Linux with Cinnamon

Open akhikhl opened this issue 11 years ago • 1 comments

Eclipse-RCP app may sporadically hang on start, when running on Linux with Cinnamon Desktop. The exact reason for this is unkown, although the following is observed:

  • The issue is not specific to Wuff - same behavior is seen with Eclipse-RCP app generated and run under Eclipse IDE.
  • The issue is not specific to particular JDK - same behavior is seen with JDK-7 and JDK-8.
  • The issue is not reproducible on other desktops - Linux with [XFCE, Mate], Windows.

The issue is fixed by deleting all folders in "configuration" folder of the RCP app. Note: you shouldn't delete "configuration/config.ini", delete only subfolders.

I had a similar problem, it was related to Eclipse using the configuration area as a cache for unpacking parts of jars, but not checking to see if the underlying jar had changed. The fix was to add -Dosgi.clean=true to my VM arguments.
