I rebuilt my development box with Fedora Core 2 running Gnome. Eclipse runs fine and MyEclipse works in demo mode. I tried to enter the subscription values, but have problems. First, it says there are invalid values entered and won’t let me into the screen to change it. I can click Subscription again, but the text boxes are less than 1 character wide and even pasting in the values doesn’t let it take the subscription. If I close the preferences, re-open and click on another section (like one of the app servers) I get the same invalid values popup. From there, I can go to the Subscription and the values are just fine. After that I was able to put in the subscription just fine (and the app servers preferences show up without errors). Just a strange little bug, but I thought I would report it. This work around seems to fix things, though.

Thanks,
Joel

Very odd… can you check your <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log file for exceptions? Maybe some SWT/GTK exceptions or something?

It seems to be from here:

Let me know if more of the trace would help.

Ahh… the Invalid thread state stuff occurs when MyEclipse is being run as a different user than Eclipse was installed as WITHOUT a valid license… so this might be expected if you had E and ME installed as different users, then launched it up as another user (like your own user account) so at this time ME is freaking out, but after you inserted the valid subscription info it should be happy.

[jsather]

Ah, that must be it. I put both Eclipse and MyEclipse in /usr/local as root. I was then running it as my non-root user ID.

Thanks,
Joel
