Hey all, I know it shouldn't be done, but we ran Eclipse as root. It seemed to freeze the whole system, mouse pointer, keyboard input etc... No kernel panic was produced and Eclipse runs fine as a normal user. Is this well known behaviour for eclipse?

Yeah, we know. I'm hoping to get together this week with one of the kernel architects to debug the problem.

There's a PR for this in case you want to follow it:

This indied is a quite nasty feature. I hava a workaround which allso fixes some other fedora-built eclipse bugs: Start eclipse with Suns java VM. (eclipse /wm <path so suns java>) Of course this is rather weird couse I develop programs on GCJ. But this fixes some bugs, won't freeze it as root and even loads faster.

That should be eclipse -vm <path to java binary ie. blah/bin/java>
Can you file the bugs that you found? Or are they already filed?
Thanks,

Tralala.... :P BIG OOPS!!

I cannot find them, nor the couse. I am still investigating what the couse is, or what the solution could be. As far as I can tell now it gives a error on the code templates in the preferences menu. A known problem?

You mean all the bugs you previously hit are now fixed?

There was an issue with gcj releases earlier than 4.0.0-9 (I _think_) with code templates.
