New GWT Designer crashing on Eclipse 3.5 / Ubuntu 10.04

[mark.renouf]

I launched GWT, opened a UiBinder template, and switched to Design view, then eclipse exits. The console shows the JDK crashing.

Mark,

Have you tried this with the Sun JDK versus the Open JDK your using (according to your error report)?

I just noticed that, I didn't realize I was running under OpenJDK. I just switched, but unfortunately, the same problem:

Please provide a test case that will trigger the crash.

Also, can you confirm whether the normal GWT Java editing functions work on your end?

Try creating a standard GWT EntryPoint or Composite class.

[mark.renouf]

Creating a simple empty GWT Composite works fine (Using Google plugin for Eclipse), or even manually.

The crash occurs just after I see "Initializing GWT hosted mode".

I'm not sure what you mean by normal GWT Java editing functions. I've been using GPE, and created a new project using it. I also tried "Convert to GWT Project" which I believe is a WindowBuilder function, as well as the WindowBuilder "Create New... GWT -> Module" to build a sample project. Attempting to view any of these resources in design view crashes in exactly the same way, with the same console messages.

I've tried disabling compiz, as well as checking the box in the preferences labelled "disable preview window flickering workarounds".

No change.

GWT 2.0.4 installed within Eclipse, as well as within a directory beneath my home directory. I've tried configuring WindowBuilder to use both with no change. GPE is using the built in 2.0.4.

Please let me know anything else I could provide that may assist in tracking this down.

Attached is the sample project I've tested.

To cause the crash,
1. open the EntryPoint class (ImageViewer) using "Open With" => "WindowBuilder Editor".
2. Select the Design tab

[Eric Clayberg]

OK. This is actually good info as it confirms that it is a general Linux config issue rather than something specific to the new UiBinder support.

I would start by reviewing the Important notes for Linux users thread as it has lots of suggestions for configuring Eclipse/GWT Designer to work with Linux.

In the mean time, we will look at the other info you have provided. It would be useful to see the full crash logs as well as your complete "Help > About > Installation Details > Configuration" (ZIP'ed as an attachment).

We cannot reproduce this at our end.
Eclipse crash should produce hs_pid_xxxx.log files either in eclipse dir or in your home dir. Please send the most recent one.

Hi

I've got the same problem with GWT Designer on Eclipse Helios as mark.renouf. I've tried all suggestions from the post 'Important notes for Linux users' without any luck.

I'm using 64bit ArchLinux with Sun JRE 6update21 and JDK.

My uname -a says:
Linux laptop 2.6.35-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Fri Aug 27 17:14:28 CEST 2010 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7500 @ 2.20GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I've attached info from eclipse->help->installation details and the most recent hs_err_pid.log
I hope that it will help you to solve this problem

Hello all,

I get exactly the same problem using GWT designer on Ubuntu 10.04 on amd64 using Sun JVM.

Hi...

I have the same problem running on Ubuntu 10.04 64bit and Eclipse Helios 3.6 (downloaded from the eclipse site, not the Ubuntu repositories)

From the "Important notes for Linux users (last updated Apr, 22, 2010)" http://forums.instantiations.com/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=2082 the only thing that I could apply in my situation was the:

./eclipse -vmargs -Xint

but that didn't help either.

I get a:

as soon as i try to open the design view of any *.ui.xml file (well, not immediately; eclipse displays a progress bar, thinks about it a little and then it core dumps)

I've included the error log, too.

I confirm this is exactly what is happening on my environment , ubuntu 10.04 64 bit eclipse 3.5

[Alexander.Mitin]

Please try with Eclipse downloaded from Eclipse.org site (don't use the one from repos).

[stratosgear]

I forgot to mention it,

It is the version from the Eclipse site.

[Alexander.Mitin]

As a temporary workaround, try to remove the 'com.instantiations.designer.gwt.hosted.2_0.webkit*.jar' from eclipse plugins folder. This will fall the GWT UI rendering back to use Firefox.

I can confirm that this hack works on my computer.
Thanks a lot!
