When attempting to open the workbench in IBM Rational Application Developer (*), it either closes immediately after starting, or does not start at all.
On Linux systems, the Eclipse Standard Widget Toolkit (SWT) might not be able to find and use the default native browser. Additional steps might be required to configure the browser setup before the product works correctly.
This note summarizes information that is contained in various locations within the SWT FAQ document.
One of the most common symptom about this problem is an Eclipse window displays the following message: JVM terminated. Exit code=160.
After you close the Eclipse message window, a javacore file (for example, javacore.20140715.102137.20388.0002.txt) is created in the installation directory.
Other symptoms can be product features that use an embedded web browser might not work correctly. Problems can include possible failure scenarios, showing an error message, or simply not showing the expected output. The product features that use an embedded browser include:
- Rich Page Editor
- Web Browser component (Open With->Web Browser)
- Welcome page
- Page Designer Preview pane
