RTC 4.0.1 on RHEL 6.5 crashes system

0
Steven Frank (6●1●1) | asked May 04 '14, 9:23 p.m.
JAZZ DEVELOPER
I am running RTC Version: 4.0.1 (Build id: RTC-I20121113-2333) as an extension to Eclipse Juno SR2 (Build id: 20130225-0426). This seems to be the only compatible combination of recent versions that I could install.

Yet, I also experienced the same issue with the RTC standalone client 4.0.1.

First of all, I have already added "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla" to my eclipse.ini file to workaround the "JVM Terminated. Exit Code=160" issue. ( "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK=true" worked as well.)

What I am experiencing is, RTC crashes my entire system (not just the app; I can't do anything except press the power button to shut off the computer). This happens consistently when doing certain things within Work Items. For example, this happens every time I click on the "SubComponent" drop down in a Defect. It also happens when I click on the drop down to update the progress in a Story.

A javacore* file is not created when this happens, but entries like the following are created in the RTC log file:

Hi Steven,
If the entire system crashes, something outside of Eclipse/JVM goes really bad. The fact that you cannot find any javacore files is a hint that the JVM does not even get a chance to respond to such a fault. I would suggest you check the Linux system log and see what you can find there.

Eclipse 4.2.2 support didn't officially come until RTC 4.0.3.


You'll notice it says Eclipse 4.2.2 is supported. This was not present in RTC 4.0.1.

 I have the same problem.  Did you ever find a work around Steven?

Hi Monty,

I wish I had a better answer, but I have not found a good  workaround that I would recommend. I have been using this configuration with mixed results:

Eclipse: Juno Service Release 2 (Build id: 20130225-0426)
RTC: Version 4.0.1 (Build id: RTC-I20121113-2333)

This at least allows me to work with my projects, open repository workspace files in the appropriate editors, and see my RTC work items within the same client. However, there are several things that I cannot do without crashing my entire system, such as selecting certain drop-downs in RTC  Work Items (e.g., to update Status), and there are other things like opening Attachments that usually crash the Eclipse client. So, I resort to using the Web UI to do those things.

I've tried a number of configuration combos, and this one has been the most stable. I have researched this quite a bit, but I have not found any solutions. Maybe one day I'll get adventurous and check out later releases to see if I can find an updated combo that works better.

...Steven
