I finally got disgusted with that, and now I'm trying to run down what's happening to prevent eclipse-devel from restarting ... you see, all that was immediately apparent was that eclipse would die about 1 second after having been started, with no error printed. I found a reference to a core dump on a signal 11 (looking in a system log), and finally found that I was actually (and silently) dumping a java.core every time I tried to restart eclipse. I know how to deal with this if it were a regular C language item, but not too well yet in java. gdb tells me that there isn't even a stack in that java.core file. Could I get a reference, something on the net I could read, maybe, about how I could make use of that java.core file, to point me towards why eclipse keeps on kicking off those coredumps. Note that, once I get eclipse started, it's giving yeoman service. If you happen to point me directly towards that eclipse problem, I wouldn't really complain, either, but what I'm after (for the moment) is how to make use of that java.core file, which'll probably let me help myself the next time. I'm catching up with java fairly well, I'm happy with myself. BTW, if it's of use, I run FreeBSD-current, the java from the jdk16 port, and the eclipse from the eclipse-devel port, the jdk16 and the eclipse from within the last 2 months, and I've rebuilt FreeBSD about 3 weeks ago. With the exception of being really stubborn about not wanting to start itself up, eclipse has been working fine for me, and I've really been exercising it, too. Like I've brought up before, FreeBSD is proving to be a really stable development java platform (with the possible exception of the small, expected problems tracking FreeBSD-current). -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAklIBRMACgkQz62J6PPcoOm/RwCffAB2a3Ey6VCXa4JwjvxLiZ5E K5gAn3/kiA67kRGkvN+HhtwOGveqnn+0 =XGFI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
