RTC client v3.0.1.5 generating javacore files on RHEL 6.3


Enrique Gaona (13462526) | asked May 07 '13, 5:25 p.m.
 Hi,
I've got several developers reporting their RTC client v3.0.1.5 is crashing on Linux running RHEL 6.3 on an x86_64bit arch.   Has anyone seen this before and is there a patch I can provide to my users?

Here's a snippet of that javacore file:

 Hi Enrique,  Based on this part of the core 
XHEXCPCODE    InaccessibleAddress: 037E2000
NULL           
1XHEXCPMODULE  Module: /usr/lib/xulrunner-compat/libxul.so

This looks like an issue with the version of xulrunner in use.  If you list the installed package with something like: 

yum list installed | grep xul*

You shouldn't see a high number like 17.  The version of eclipse RTC uses relies on SWT which has some compatibility issues with newer versions of xulrunner.  You can obtain an earlier version of xulrunner from the following technote:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21598554 

And then tell your eclipse client to start using the older version of xulrunner using this method. 
You can then:
cd </path/to/RTC-Client-Linux>
echo
"-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-compat" >>
jazz/client/eclipse/eclipse.ini

The list of supported xulrunnner versions per eclipse version is in this article:

Thanks, Josh.  I'll forward your response to the developers and will let you know if it resolved the issue or not.
