RHBA-2016:2852 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rh-eclipse46 packages that fixes two bugs are now available for Red Hat Software Collections.

Description

The rh-eclipse46 Software Collection includes Eclipse 4.6.1, an integrated development environment (IDE), which is based on the Eclipse Foundation's Neon release train.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• The installation of the rh-eclipse46 Software Collection contains a large number of plug-ins. Previously, the amount of metadata and calculations done by the Eclipse instance for the plug-ins led to a slow initial startup. With this update, the check for uses constraints is disabled by default. As a result, performance is significantly improved during initial startup when Eclipse from the rh-eclipse46 Software Collection is installed alongside Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio. (BZ#1392095)
• Prior to this update, Eclipse used Lucene 5 for search indexing, which no longer supports Lucene 3 indexes. Consequently, Lucene 3 indexes downloaded from external locations could not be read by Eclipse's integrated automatic error reporting tool (AERI), resulting in errors in the log file. The automatic error reporting tool in Eclipse has been ported to use Lucene 4, which is able to read Lucene 3 indexes, and the integrated automatic error reporting tool now works correctly. (BZ#1389302)

In addition, support for Elliptic Curve Point Compression has been disabled. (BZ#1391934)

Users of rh-eclipse46 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
