Description Robin Green 2005-12-10 22:19:23 UTC
After upgrading eclipse to the updates-testing version, I was unable to run it
with an alternate VM. This problem does not occur if I leave off the -vm command
line argument.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.8

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install JDK 1.5 into /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0
2. eclipse -vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java
  
Actual results:
Unable to access jarfile startup.jar

and then "JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java
-jar startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86_64
-launcher /usr/bin/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata bb000d
-vm /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.5.0/bin/java
-vmargs
-jar startup.jar"

Expected results:
Normal startup

I can duplicate this.  Igor?

Comment 2 Igor Foox 2005-12-12 15:47:07 UTC
Weird, if I run with --vm it works, if I run with -vm it fails similarly.
Investigating...

Comment 3 Igor Foox 2005-12-12 15:49:08 UTC
OK, that's because --vm doesn't do anything, I'll try figure out what's causing
this.

Comment 4 Ben Konrath 2006-01-04 20:48:11 UTC
This is fixed in updates-testing with eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.11.
