Eclipse 3.5 crashes. As I understand the problem is with java and
libpango (pango_layout_new).

OS: Fedora 12 Alpha (last updated on 9.9.2009 from rawhide) (OS:Fedora
release 11.91 (Rawhide))

Java: tried on many versions e.g. j2sdk1.4.2_19, jdk1.5.0_20,
jdk1.6.0_16 and even jdk1.7.0M4 (7.0 milestone 4).

To reproduce the problem open in Eclipse: Help -> Install New Software
-> and just press "Cancel". What I get is:

(That was produced using java 7.0 M4 but as I wrote it can be reproduced using older java vesions too):

OpenJDK Client VM Droppings

I am seeing this using the current OpenJDK in Rawhide too about every
quarter of an hour or so.

java-1.6.0-openjdk-devel-1.6.0.0-31.b16.fc12.i686
pango-1.25.5-1.fc12.i686

Its making Eclipse pretty unusable.

There's no way a legit crash can happen in pango_layout_new().  Here's
the code for that function:

PangoLayout * 
pango_layout_new (PangoContext *context) 
{ 
  PangoLayout *layout; 
 
  g_return_val_if_fail (context != NULL, NULL); 
 
  layout = g_object_new (PANGO_TYPE_LAYOUT, NULL); 
 
  layout->context = context; 
  g_object_ref (context); 
 
  return layout; 
} 


So, either context passed to it is NULL, or this is a memory corruption happening somewhere else.  I can't do anything about it.

It works for my scenario which was to go into the New Project menu,
select a C/C++ GNU Autotools project type but hit cancel before doing
anything.  This works now with the 3.5.1 build.

The same way of testing this time the buttons didn't get highlighted and nothing happens but a second after I create the project and it shows in the left it crashes.And I am on x86_64

This was discussed at the blocker review meeting today. As it seems
clear this is a bug (or bugs) in Eclipse, not Pango or Java, we can't
consider it a blocker for the final release, as it's not critical
functionality and can just as easily be fixed as an update. Releng will
accept a tag request to have a build included in F12 final to try and
address these issues if you would like to do that, though.

The SWT .so files should be extracted into /usr/lib{,64}/eclipse and not
get extracted (or re-extracted) at runtime.

Michael, did you happen to try with an eclipse.org download expanded
into a read-only (to the running user) location at some point?  Can you
try to see if you can duplicate with a clean ~/.eclipse?

Ben, do you have any SWT .so files in ~/.eclipse?

I'm in the process on setting up an x86_64 system to see if I can track

The crash happened for me on i686 so it may not be a 64-bit issue.

You'll have to click the link for your architecture (i686 or x86_64, for

# rpm -Uvh eclipse*3.5.1-22*.rpm

It fixes the "open update manager, click cancel -> crash" bug for me.

  BUG
  =============
  After having started Eclipse 3.5 on Karmic 32bit (openjdk-6-jre 6b16-1.6.1-1ubuntu2) and running it for some minutes, it terminates saying

  #
  # A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
  #
  #  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0xb7b62856, pid=24497, tid=3084424896
  #
  # JRE version: 6.0_15-b03
  # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (14.1-b02 mixed mode, sharing linux-x86 )
  # Problematic frame:
  # C  [libpango-1.0.so.0+0x23856]  pango_layout_new+0x36
  #
  # An error report file with more information is saved as:
  # /home/niklas/hs_err_pid24497.log
  [...]

  Seems to be the bug in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=522187 , but for the bug opener, the problem seems to be gone.
  Please tell me if you need more information.
