Package: sablevm Version: 1.11.3-1.1 Severity: normal (Note: The same bug has been reported against eclipse in bug report #336470 -- There are two bug reports because eclipse bug can be fixed right now by avoiding sablevm and sablevm bug can be fixed when new upstream version is available.)
I just noticed that eclipse was finally added to debian (yay!) and went ahead to test it. After "sudo apt-get install eclipse-sdk" I tried to run "eclipse" as a normal user and got the following output searching for compatible vm... testing /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj...not found testing /usr/lib/kaffe/pthreads...not found testing /usr/lib/sablevm...found sablevm: INTERNAL ERROR (source file "invoke_interface.c", function "AttachCurrentThread", line 497): todo Eclipse first opened a dialog and asked for workspace location. After that it spent a minute or two drawing some sort of progress bar and then finally sablevm printed that "INTERNAL ERROR" text and eclipse showed a dialog with JVM terminated.

Could sablevm be removed from /etc/eclipse/java_home until debian has at least sablevm 1.12? -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.4.29sauna Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages sablevm depends on: ii java-common 0.23 Base of all Java packages ii libc6 2.3.5-7 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libpopt0 1.7-5 lib for parsing cmdline parameters ii libsablevm1 1.11.3-1.1 Free implementation of JVM second ii unzip 5.52-3 De-archiver for .zip files Versions of packages sablevm recommends: ii free-java-sdk 1.0-1 Complete Java SDK environment cons ii jikes 1:1.22-3 Fast Java compiler adhering to lan pn libgnujaxp-java <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
