Eclipse and Java 1.6
Ever since Sun ‘refreshed’ Java 1.6. with the _04 version, Eclipse became unstable for me. After some googleing, it seems that this is actually a known problem with some changes in the JIT compiler that surfaced in _04 and beyond.
Adding
-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith -XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/lookup/ParameterizedMethodBinding,<init>
to the eclipse command (or .eclipserc, depending on your installation) made it stable again. So Sun, could you please fix this bug?
eclipse java sunHorray! Drag and Drop on Linux!
2007 is definitely a good year, if the product with the longest development cycles ever finally has an official major release.
And now I can finally drag a file out of the IDE into the one true editor!
Imagine that! Working drag and drop between two major applications on Linux! In 2007! (Only ~ 10 years after another operating system got it right)
Why is it that things that one is so used to on every other mainstream OS are sort of a revolution on the Linux desktop?
