UI Frozen on macOS
Opened this issue · 5 comments
I have switched from Windows to macOS.
The UI is completely frozen and can not be used.
I think this is due to a too old SWT version being used.
See: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=477979
Tested with: macOS High Sierra (version 10.13.3)
Same thing for me, also on 10.13.3
Workaround until some PRs get accepted.
- use a newer Eclipse by editing pom.xml
<id>eclipse</id>
<url>http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.7</url>
<layout>p2</layout>
- Use JDK 8 and allow it to run BundledApps by editing
`/usr/libexec/java_home -V`/../info.plist
:
<key>JVMCapabilities</key>
<array>
<string>JNI</string>
<string>BundledApp</string>
<string>WebStart</string>
<string>Applets</string>
<string>CommandLine</string>
</array>

- Proxies
I set proxies like I did on Linux and now it's working. Note that the .settings directory does not exist and must be created. Then copy org.eclipse.core.net.prefs from your eclipse development instance to there.

You can use @nickboldt fork which is more up-to-date and more likely to access PRs.
I have built the master
branch of the nickboldt fork and p2-browser was working on my mac.
Thank you a lot for the pointer!
Feel free to throw PRs at my fork. Igor seems to have given up maintaining his codebase but I use p2 browser every week so mine will stay current. Glad it worked for you!
