I suspect this is an "Eclipse only" issue, not a build issue, but with 1.4 being at rc2 already it may be worth looking at. Here goes: REPRO: Launch Eclipse 2.0.2 with Sun JDK 1.4.1_01 and attempt to compile or simply go to file->exit to quit. Either compile or shutdown will start and progress bars move just fine until they reach the end of the status indicator. At that point, your mouse cursor is stuck in "wait". NOTES: This seems significant since it happens on exit and build attempts. Also, FYI, it's not just the Gentoo package / JDK 1.4.1_01 combo, but the binary GTK file from www.eclipse.org that does this as well. Out of curiosity, I grabbed the Eclipse M4 milestone build (Wed, 18 Dec 2002 -- 13:04 (-0500)) and that works fine. Again, this may be more of an "upstream" issue, but considering the significant impact may be worth noting. Then again, could just be my box. MY BOX: Linux norad.commandline.org 2.4.19-gentoo-r10 #1 Sat Jan 11 16:57:29 PST 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 1800+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
Some behavior I've seen: I have gtk+-1.2 and eclipse 2.0.2, works fine. I upgraded to gtk+2.2.0, exhibits the behavior mentioned. I moved back to gtk+-1.2, works fine, moved to gtk+-2.2 again and same problem. A co-worker had eclipse 2.1 (beta) and gtk+-1.2 and had some problems, not sure exactly what. He moved to gtk+2.2 and has no problems. It looks like eclipse 2.0.2 requires gtk+1.2 and eclipse 2.1 requires gtk+2.2 from my minimal observations.
I don't follow. Eclipse uses GTK+2.x, not GTK+1.x
Sorry... s/gtk+1.2/gtk+2.1/g
This issue has been reported by users on other Linux distributions as well. There are two upstream bugs reported on the topic, none of which have been investigated further, as the M4 build resolved the problem. See http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=29001 and http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=29622 for more information on that. A good resolution here, as I see it, would be to include masked ebuilds for M4 in portage. That way it is fairly easy to resolve this issue for a user, at least after they have found this bug or other related forum discussions. Bug #7634 is clearly related to this issue.
I think you're right. Including M4 in portage would be a solution. I will try to get to this this weekend. Matt

The eclipse crash on progress bar problem has something to do with your theme setup. My .gtkrc-2.0 looked like the following when I was having the problem: include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" gtk-font-name = "Verdana 9" I commented out #include "/usr/share/themes/Bluecurve/gtk-2.0/gtkrc" Now, it works fine.
