Eclipse : Welcome page not getting displayed.

Question

I am working on an application which is built on top of Eclipse. Though everything is working fine on windows, Sles 32 and 64 bit, but on SLED 64 bit the Welcome page is not getting Displayed. When you try to open the welcome page it throws an MalformedUrl exception with "Could not load Swt Style: content/shared.css" as error message.

When i checked on net, i discovered that several people seems to have encountered this problem but i couldn't find a solution. Please help me out guys.

Answer 1

That error message comes directly form the SharedStyleManager class.

try {
    URL JavaDoc styleURL = new URL JavaDoc(style);
    InputStream JavaDoc is = styleURL.openStream();
    properties.load(is);
    is.close();
    context.path = new Path(style).removeLastSegments(1);
    String JavaDoc t = (String JavaDoc)properties.get("theme"); //$NON-NLS-1$
    if (t!=null && t.trim().equalsIgnoreCase("true")) //$NON-NLS-1$
        context.inTheme = true;
} catch (Exception JavaDoc e) {
    Log.error("Could not load SWT style: " + style, e); //$NON-NLS-1$
}

Do you have the exception bundle within the "Could not load SWT style" exception? (in your Error view)

Found the problem Source. I was using incompatible version of xulrunner. Changing this to version compatible with eclipse fixed the problem.
