That output is the same as what gets spit out on a working FC-6 so that won't help with this problem. I tested help with Sun's VM and it's working so this is a GCJ problem. I'll work on narrowing down a test case.
Tom / Andrew / Gary, Just thought I'd let you know that this is in the pipes. I'll let you know when I've narrowed it down a little.
You say here that "output is the same as what gets spit out on a working FC-6". I take it, then, that this bug is not an F7 regression, and has been around for some considerable time. Is this correct?
Sorry, I wasn't clear there. What I meant to say was that text output from -consolelog is the same as FC-6 so that doesn't help debug the problem. This is in fact a Fedora 7 regression.
OK, I'm looking now.
This is because Eclipse needs MX4J. Try this fix: sudo ln -sf /usr/share/java/mx4j/mx4j.jar /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed
That fixes the problem, thanks!
In what sense does it need it? Does it specifically require MX4J features, or does it just not work with libgcj's javax.management?
Oops, never mind, I just saw https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-java-list/2007-May/msg00002.html
