| <p>Note: Bug numbers refer to the Eclipse project bug database at <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/">http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/</a>.</p> |
| |
| <h3><a name="I-Platform"></a>3.1.1 Platform - Core</h3> |
| |
| <h4>Execute permissions of the .so files are missing</h4> |
| |
| <p> After Eclipse is installed, give write permission to all <code>.so</code> files |
| underneath <code>$ECLIPSE_HOME</code></p> |
| |
| <h3><a name="I-Platform-SWT"></a>3.1.6 Platform - SWT</h3> |
| |
| <h4>Eclipse plug-in based on the SWT Browser throws exception</h4> |
| |
| <p>CPU intensive operations that keep the CPU close to 100% utilized may cause sporadic Eclipse |
| hangs. This is an intermittent problem. (bug <a href="https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=56841">56841</a>)</p> |
| |
| <h2><a name="Running_Eclipse"></a>4. Running Eclipse</h2> |
| |
| <h4>Increase performance of Eclipse on Itanium</h4> |
| |
| <p> If you have more than 2GB of RAM on your Itanium box, you may want to increase the Java VMs memory (<code>-Xmx</code>). For example:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><code>eclipse -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Xmn192m</code></p> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <h4>Cut/Copy/Paste feature of editor does not work when you access the Itanium Box using |
| Reflection X </h4> |
| |
| <p> Complete the following procedure:</p> |
| <blockquote> |
| <ol> |
| <li>Go the Reflection X main window.</li> |
| <li>Click on <strong>Settings</strong> > <strong>Display</strong>.</li> |
| <li>Uncheck "Windows Clipboard owns selection".</li> |
| <li>Restart Reflection X.</li> |
| </ol> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <h4>Display Eclipse GUI in pretty colors</h4> |
| |
| <p>Create an <code>.Xdefaults</code> file in your home directory with the following content:</p> |
| |
| <blockquote><code><p> |
| Eclipse*spacing:0<br> |
| Eclipse*XmForm.background:#e8e7e3<br> |
| Eclipse*XmForm.foreground:black<br> |
| Eclipse*XmList.background:#e8e7e3<br> |
| Eclipse*XmList.foreground:black<br> |
| Eclipse*XmTextField.background:#e8e7e3<br> |
| Eclipse*XmTextField.foreground:black<br> |
| Eclipse*XmText.foreground:black<br> |
| Eclipse*XmText.background:white<br> |
| Eclipse*background:#d6d3ce<br> |
| Eclipse*foreground:black</p></code> |
| </blockquote> |
| |
| <p>After creating the above file, issue the following command (your <code>DISPLAY</code> variable |
| must be set prior to running the command):</p> |
| |
| <blockquote> |
| <p><code>/usr/bin/X11/xrdb <your home directory>/.Xdefaults</code></p> |
