RHBA-2017:1231 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

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

Description

The rh-eclipse46 Software Collection includes Eclipse 4.6, an integrated development environment (IDE), which is based on the Eclipse Foundation's Neon release train.

This update fixes the following bugs:

• Previously, Eclipse was unable to resolve dependencies for a Maven project if the dependency existed only in the workspace, even when the "Resolve Workspace Artifacts" option was checked in launch configurations. Consequently, users had to install all the project's dependencies into the local Maven repository before the dependencies could be resolved. This bug has been fixed, and all workspace dependencies are correctly resolved when "Resolve Workspace Artifacts" is used. (BZ#1418963)
• Due to misconfiguration of the Ruby debugging console in the Dynamic Languages Toolkit, it was previously difficult to observe the console output of the script being debugged. This update fixes the default Ruby debugging console behavior to make the output accessible during a debugging session. (BZ#1439195)
• The Eclipse Linuxtools component previously contained an error in the launch configuration validation code. Consequently, when creating a new launch configuration for running container images, NullPointerException errors could be logged. A patch has been applied, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1439618)
• A bug in thread synchronization in Eclipse Webtools could previously cause a potential thread deadlock when faceted projects were in use. Consequently, if a user installed a plug-in that would programmatically create and install a custom facet, a deadlock sometimes occurred. This bug has been fixed, and such deadlocks no longer occur. (BZ#1440205)

Users of rh-eclipse46 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix these bugs.
