Error description

• Rational Developer for System z (RDz) client's File Search tab

  eclipse environment.  There is always an SWTException of an
  Invalid Thread Access found in the .log file, but it may have a
  slightly different stack trace.  The eclipse  Activator
  invocation is usually done by:

  Source)
   at com.ibm.etools.wdz.common.bidi.Activator.start(Unknown
  Source)
