What's New in Rodin 1.2?

TODO: List here the new features and improvements.

  • Migration to Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo)

Requirements

  • It is recommended to run the Rodin platform with a Java 1.5 Runtime Environment.
  • Only a 32-bit version of the Rodin platform is provided. Some optional libraries dedicated to 32-bit support may be required in order to run it on a 64-bit OS. Moreover, you will have to install a 32-bit Java Virtual Machine (JVM), and then to set the -vm option to make sure that Rodin is run with the correct JVM.
eg. /usr/local/rodin/rodin -vm /usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-1.5.0-sun/bin/java (You have to adjust paths to your system.)

External plug-ins

TODO: Describe here the available plug-ins, and the supported versions for this release.

Downloading

TODO: Add here a link to download the platform.

Fixed Bugs

TODO: Add here a list of the fixed bugs.

Known Issues

TODO: Add here a link to the SourceForge Bugs page, after filtering bugs (Assignee Any, Status Open, Category Any, Group 1.2).

  • Early releases of XULRunner 1.9.1 may cause an SWT exception that prevents from opening an editor (as well as any browser-based ui component). More recent releases fix this bug (works fine with xulrunner-1.9.1.7). Alternatively, it is possible to specify XULRunner path to point to 1.9.0: edit "rodin.ini" and add the following line:
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.14

where "/usr/lib/xulrunner-1.9.0.14" must be replaced with your actual XULRunner 1.9.0 install directory.

  • Using Rodin on GNOME desktop may result in a situation where buttons lock windows. To avoid this situation, it is needed to launch Rodin with
GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1 /path_to_rodin/rodin

It's a GTK bug, referenced for Eclipse at [[1]]
See also Gnome and broken buttons.

  • A warning like the following one is displayed to the standard output when platform starts on GNOME desktop:
(rodin:17254): GLib-WARNING **: g_set_prgname() called multiple times

It's a GNOME bug. Information found there: [[2]]

  • The error log shows the following problem:
org.osgi.framework.BundleException: The bundle could not be resolved. Reason: Missing Constraint: Import-Package: org.eclipse.equinox.internal.util.event; version="1.0.0"
at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.AbstractBundle.getResolverError(AbstractBundle.java:1313)
...

It's an Eclipse 3.5 bug. Information found there: [[3]]
