I recently updated dev-util/eclipse-sdk to 3.0.1-r3. I'm currently writing a program that uses the mozilla browser embedded into SWT. So, it needs the library : libswt-mozilla-gtk-3063.so. The library used to be find here : /usr/lib/eclipse-3/plugins/org.eclipse.swt.gtk_3.0.1/os/linux/x86. After upgrading, the library isn't there anymore and you get errors about it (which is normal, because it isn't there). I did a grep for this library and I can't really find it into /usr/lib. I thought I would be nice if the library was already there like it used to be. Backtraking to the revision 2 fixed the problem. You can also backup the library, install the new version and copy it into the new install. I agree this is not a major problem, but it always nice to have an install working the first time and not having to figure out problems. Thx for your work, I really appreciate this ebuild.
This has nothing in common with Gentoo bugzilla product, please read the descriptions.
We have recently moved from using mozilla to using seamonkey. There are a number of reasons for this, such as security issues with mozilla. Unfortunately, the older releases of eclipse, ie < 3.2, do not compile cleanly against seamonkey. Therefore, support was dropped in older versions. So basically we'd need to patch it to support seamonkey, and I for one do not have the expertise to do it. I recommend you try the latest ~arch version of eclipse-sdk, 3.2, and see if that helps.
Thx for your help, I'll try that and get back to you.
I did the update to ~arch. For some reasons, I can run the program without errors but on runtime I see an empty widget using seamonkey. Let's say I use the old .so from eclipse 3.0.1 and mozilla, it's working perfectly. Anyway, I didn't really try that much. I'm a bit tired of thoses browsers dependancy for displaying html and I decied to switch to java swing since now they support theme ( looks as good as SWT now ). I now use the embedded html browser from swing and it's enough for my needs. I guess we can change the status to invalid, since mozilla has been removed for security reasons, which is good.
