Eclipse 3.1 working

[zzhu8192]

Using similar techniques that I used to get Azureus 2.3.0.4 working, I have finally gotten Eclipse 3.1 to work.

Performance, however, is a bit disappointing. Also, the memory foot print is pretty huge.

On Windows XP, my eclipse 3.1 working set is about 300MB, on MacOS X x86, it seems to be about 750MB.

My projects are pretty large, but probably still does not warrent 750MB.

I've gotten some third-party plugins to work as well, although not perfectly.

 

 

I will post instructions and patch if there's enough interest.

Is your CPU SSE2 or SSE3 ebabled?

I doubt that the JDK JIT compiler produces SSE3 code because I compiled swt and replaced the jnilib files in the jar and could start eclipse, but it crashed a lot.

I couldn't run netbeans, either. It even led to the infamous "4-language screen" and I had to

brute-force reboot.

Thanks a alot.

It's a P4 (SSE2) with maxx 0.5c. I have gotten the hard crash that you mentioned as well.

After using 0.5c though, it became stable as far as I know. I would also doubt the JVM JIT'd to SSE3.

I've tried netbeans as well. It crashed on startup everytime. However, I've not tried it since 0.5c.

I also got it to work by recompiling the SWT jnilibs. It runs better with Maxxus' 0.5c patch, but there are still some mayor performance issues (try the Visual Editor, for example).

Hi,

Could you share with us your swt build please or give some info to build it.

Thanks

Yeah could you please provide the recompiled files you used to get Eclipse 3.1 working, this is majorly important tool for me and without it I can't really stay in OSX for long without being able to do some work.

 

Thanks!

Here is the modified swt 3.1.0 native plugin that is compiled for x86.

 

Instructions:

 

1) untar macosx_x86_swt310.tar.gz in the plugins/ directory of eclipse

2) remove the original org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.0.jar

3) run eclipse via the application icon. The launcher will still be PPC, and will run via rosetta.

The actual eclipse process will run via the native JVM (assuming you have not installed a PPC version over it)

macosx_x86_swt310.tar.gz

I followed ur instructions as best I could but still no go.

 

I:

dl'd eclipse 3.1 for OSX, unzipped to desktop

dl'd ur file unzipped to desktop

copied the unzipped folder into pluggins directory deleted other jar

ran eclipse from launcher icon

Still crashes with same errors

 

Obviosly I missed something, would you be kind as to point it out

Also, other eclipse thread says rebuild swt files and insert into jar you ask to remove.

Tried that too but still nothing.

 

Any help thx!

I just found out what happened. It seems that the files in Eclipse 3.1 has been updated.

org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.0.jar has been updated to org.eclipse.swt.carbon.macosx.ppc_3.1.1.jar Just rename the one uploaded by zzhu8192 and Eclipse should run.
