Eclipse Helios & Windows x64 Platform

[Peter Hancox]

Just installed the Eclipse Helios release and decided to try out 64-
bit Java at the same time. Running Windows 7 x64 for a long while but
have always stuck with 32-bit Java until now.

Eclipse refuses to load if I include "-javaagent:lombok.jar" with
error "Java was started but returned exit code=1".

Before I spend too much time investigating why, I thought I'd quickly
ask whether Lombok is expected to work in a 64-bit Java environment
and with Eclipse Helios release ???

Thanks for any info.

[Peter Hancox]

Quick update. Looks like it's a problem with Eclipse Helios release.

Just installed the 32-bit Helios and (with the "-
javaagent:lombok.jar"), eclipse again fails to load but this time
there is no error message; just crashes.

It's most assuredly supposed to work with a 64-bit release and in fact did so without any issues on pre-helios. Presumably helios changed something important. We'll start investigating ASAP.

I encountered the same problem using the Helios release with the 6.0
update 20 64-bit JVM. I was able to get it working by using explicit
path names in the eclipse.INI file

For example:

-javaagent:C:/Users/jmochel/Downloads/lombok.jar
-Xbootclasspath/a:C:/Users/jmochel/Downloads/lombok.jar

I hope that helps,

Heh, great, I had "Figure out why helios 64-bit isn't working" in the
agenda, but it seems you've solved the problem. Fantastic! We'll
update the installer for the next release.

[Peter Hancox]

Made the equivalent changes on my system and it fixed the problem.
Not sure what the "strategic" fix to avoid hard coding the absolute
path is; but I'll leave that for Reinier.

Many thanks for posting your solution.

I believe this might affect 32-bit Helios as well.

[Reinier Zwitserloot]

We toyed around with this problem on linux (where it's existed since forever, and the installer currently in fact hardcodes those paths on linux), and didn't find a solution. I'll look closely though; if we hard code the paths, it means if you move your eclipse install around lombok breaks.

So, RJ, Roel, and I are all trying to reproduce this problem but so
far, no dice. The current edge build, which hasn't changed anything in
regards to how lombok installs itself into eclipse, works just fine
for us.

Was this some sort of fluke of a prerelease helios version? If there's
any question that folks are running into this issue we'll update the
installer to hardcode the path, but the disadvantage of doing that is
that you can no longer move your eclipse installation around without
rerunning the lombok installer to update the hardcoded path.

If any of you could do us a huge favour and try installing the current
edge build into your helios to see if the problem is still occuring,
we'll owe you one.

The edge build is here:

For what it's worth, I seem to have it running fine on Helios (perhaps
an older build?) with *relative* paths. Note that I installed it "by
hand" (i.e. copied the lombok.jar into the Eclipse dir and edited the
INI file myself).

Okay, we'll release the installer in the current relative path form, but we'll keep an eye out for any reports that folks are having problems with that. In fact, I'll add an undocumented parameter to the installer to force absolute paths, that would make it easy for us to immediately help folks that do run into this problem, if it exists.
