Jdk 1.5.0_04 and Eclipse with SuSE Linux - startup problems with Eclipse

Question

Hi,
I have SuSE Linux 9.3 and just downloaded Jdk 1.5.0_04 and Eclipse IDE 3.1 for Linux.
I have sucessfully installed Java in the following directory under Linux:
'/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_04'
And I also have downloaded Eclipse IDE 3.1 for Linux. I have unzipped it into the following directory:
'/home/juergenkemeter/bin/eclipse/eclipse
I have chosen the upper Java JRE in the Eclipse preferences.
Now to my problem:
Sometimes it happens that when I startup Eclipse or try to runa java program, Eclipse is shut down with a) no comment at all, or b) with an error message "JVM terminated. Exit code = 1 (...)". I can send the picture of the whole screenshot of the error message if it helps.
Now I think that this is due to wrong installation paths of the Jdk and Eclipse?! Perhaps there are some conflicts regarding user rights (admin and the normal user 'juergenkemeter'.
If anyone has suggestions, that would be helpful. Its nasty when Eclipse shuts down while programming...
cheers,
J�rgen

Answer 1

I only used the getSystemResource because it is slightly more convenient. The
getResource version requires a "/" in front of the filename, as in:
java.net.URL imageURL = getClass().getResource("/" + imageName);
System.out.println("Loading icon: " + imageName);
for (int i = 0; i < 32000; i++)
System.out.println(i);
icon = new ImageIcon(imageURL);
Unfortunately, this still deadlocks after a few thousand hits.
Of course, I don't need thousands of icons in my application, but the real-world issue is that the program locks up every few times it is started, which is a real drag for the customers!
I suppose the InputStream way would work, though it is not very elegant compared to loading the resource in the usual manner. I'll try it if there are no other suggestions.
Thanks,
