RHBA-2017:3129 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated rh-eclipse46-eclipse-dltk packages that fix one bug 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. The rh-eclipse46-eclipse-dltk packages provide the Eclipse Dynamic Languages Toolkit (DLTK).

This update fixes the following bug:

• Previously, the Eclipse IDE shell script editor loaded the whole manual page for display as a hover tip when the user hovered the mouse cursor over a command. As a consequence, hovering the mouse cursor over a command with a large manual page in the shell script file editor made the Eclipse IDE unresponsive. The hover help mechanism has been restricted to load only up to 10 kB of manual page data, and extended to advise the user to use the "Show Man Page" command in a dedicated view when the manual page data is truncated. As a result, the Eclipse IDE stays responsive in the described scenario. (BZ#1483335)

Users of rh-eclipse46-eclipse-dltk are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.
