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

I checked that upstream sablevm versions 1.11.1, 1.11.2 and 1.11.3
have just "todo" in AttachCurrentThread and sablevm 1.12 seems to have
a real implementation there.

Could sablevm be removed from /etc/eclipse/java_home until debian has
at least sablevm 1.12?
