Re: AWT Toolkit, SWT/Eclipse and Leopard (Mac OS 10.5)

This method worked fine with Tiger and it still does if the plugin is activated within a second Eclipse instance, e.g. by starting a runtime instance in run or debug mode from within Eclipse. When Eclipse (and the plugin) is started from the Finder, the following message occurs:

Unhandled event loop exception
Can't start the AWT because Java was started on the first thread.  Make sure StartOnFirstThread is not specified in your application's Info.plist or on the command line

But (again): The very same plugin worked with Tiger and still does under certain circumstances with Leopard. So it is clearly the latest Java version shipped with Leopard (1.5.0_13) which causes the problem. I explicitly choose LWJGL since this library was working with Eclipse and Mac OS X!

Is there a known workaround, VM property, or something else?

This is a bug in Eclipse's launcher that we inadvertently caused in Leopard. You can track the resolution here:


It was released into the 3.3.2 stream, but you can grab an integration build with the fix right now.

I know this has been a pain for you and many others, and we apologize for the problem.
