Here is something else that strikes me, when I look at the latest jar file for swt that comes with the latest eclipse-rcp package and look at the libswt shared objects within I get this:
jacobi@jacobi-ThinkPad-T60:~$ dpkg --status eclipse-rcp | awk /^Version:/ && jar tvf /usr/lib/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.swt_3.7.2.jar | awk /libswt/ Version: 3.7.2-1 23060 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-atk-gtk-3550.so 3612 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-awt-gtk-3550.so 40640 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-cairo-gtk-3550.so 10080 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-glx-gtk-3550.so 10432 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-gnome-gtk-3550.so 11456 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-gtk-3550.so 99480 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-mozilla-gcc3-gtk-3550.so 98376 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-mozilla-gtk-3550.so 354996 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-pi-gtk-3550.so 27500 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-xpcominit-gtk-3550.so 85020 Thu Jun 11 16:42:00 EDT 2009 libswt-xulrunner-gtk-3550.so And then, when I look at the latest swt-package that is available for precise I get this: jacobi@jacobi-ThinkPad-T60:~$ dpkg -L libswt-gtk-3-jni /. /usr /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/libswt-gtk-3-jni /usr/share/doc/libswt-gtk-3-jni/copyright /usr/share/doc/libswt-gtk-3-jni/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/lib /usr/lib/jni /usr/lib/jni/libswt-atk-gtk-3740.so /usr/lib/jni/libswt-awt-gtk-3740.so /usr/lib/jni/libswt-gtk-3740.so /usr/lib/jni/libswt-pi-gtk-3740.so I don't know whether the version number next to the shared object files have a meaning, but if they do have you deliver 3.74 version libswt libraries with the standalone DEB package and 3.55 version libswt libraries within a jar file that is packages in the eclipse-rcp DEB package. When I look at the strace as I start the eclipse application the shared objects from the libswt-gtk-3-jni package are not touched but the jar file with the "3.55-libswt" shared objects is opened and read. Can you find out whether the swt-libraries within the eclipse-rcp package are still up to date for the eclipse-indigo environment that you ship with precise? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004709 Title: eclipse-ide doesn't start on precise To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eclipse/+bug/1004709/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
