ABAP in Eclipse 64-bit

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I've managed to install the ADT Tools in Eclipse pretty flawlessly. I can create new Projects but as soon as I try to add a package to the favorites or just browsing the list of packages the Eclipse IDE is hanging and thinking forever before the package is opened and then allways crashes with the following error:

I did checked eclipse.ini and i've made the post installation changes recommended by the installation guide, but i'm still getting the same error over and over again.Did anyone has the same problem?

Here are my specs

Eclipse 64-bit Juno 4.2.1

JRE 7u10 64-bit

ADT 2.0

Best Regards and Thank you in advance

Hi Yanko,

is there a reason why you want to use the 64-bit version of eclipse?

My laptop is running under windows 7 x64 but I also use the 32-bit eclipse version (Juno) and it works pretty fine with ADT 2.0.

Even if you have a reason to use eclipse x64 you should try out the 32-bit juno release.

Hi Andreas,

i just tried the 32-bit Version of Juno. Also managed to install the ADT without problems, but i'm still having the problem with the "spinning blue wheel" . It takes forever to open a package. I've tried with a simple programm, but Eclipse was not responding over 2 minutes and then i just killed the process. This time there was no error report , so now i have no idea . Did you make something after the installation? I strictly followed the installtion guide.

The specs:

Eclipse Juno 4.2.1 32-Bit

JRE 7u10 32-Bit

ADT 2.0

Yes I can work without problems. I used the NW 7.31 Trial here from SCN.

One thing that can be a problem is to install the NW system within a virtual machine.

I tried that before and it was also very slow to use.

Maybe this is what you experiencing.

Hi Andreas,

thank you for your quick answer. I'm working in the consulting area. I've installed all the software on my work laptop. I have full version of NW 7.31 and an access to a test system with SAP GUI 7.03 where i have all the rights and user authorizations. That is why I'm wondering for the strange behaviour of Eclipse. I've never had problems before with the IDE. And it is a clean install of Eclipse without any other packages or plugins. I'm going to try it after x-mas on my home pc and mac and i'll post my experiences

So I wish you happy holidays!

Thanks again,

Yanko

Maybe also note #1764561 applies to you.

Hi Andreas,

this note also don't applies for me since I'm not using SNC. Meanwhile I've made a clean install on my laptop. I'm using Java SE 1.7.0_15, Eclipse 4.2.1 32bit and ADT 2.0 and still having the same problem. So now I have no idea what issue causes the problem. Is it possible to be a AS problem since i'm not using SNC?

Best regards,

Hi Yanko,

I had a similar problem. I reinstalled Eclipse, updated the ADT, tinkered with eclipse.ini but nothing helped. Finally I had a look in ST22 and found a massive number of dumps of the following type:

CONVT_CODEPAGE CX_SY_CONVERSION_CODEPAGE CL_ABAP_CONV_IN_CE============CP

As a result I implemented Note 1767013 - Dump CONVT_CODEPAGE when using ABAP Development Tools - in our system. Now ADT runs very smoothly.

Best,

Christian
