Solaris SWT error

Question

I am trying to run a jar file, packed using Eclipse, on a Ultra 5/SPARC Solaris machine but keep getting an error from:
org.eclipse.swt.internal.motif.OS.XmCreateMainWindow
After attempting to run the command ApplicationWindow.open()
I am using all of the newest external JARs provided by Eclipse 3.0.2 (the SWT for Solaris among others) and have made sure all my classpath information is correct. The JAR was created in Windows and runs under Windows and Linux just fine. The program is able to display a quick splash screen by drawing an Image and doing a thread sleep but crashes right after when trying to open the app window. To make things more interesting, I have an older version of the JAR that runs just fine... any ideas what might cause such a problem?

Answer 1

The problem you're seeing is that the embedded browser is not currently
supported on Solaris. The request for this is
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=77217 . The Browser class is
included in the solaris-motif download because all of the motif downloads
include the same java code, but the isLinux check that you encountered is a
runtime check that fails when attempting to use the motif codebase's Browser
on a non-linux platform.
