Eclipse crashes when SAPGUI for Java 7.7 session expires

[pokrakam]

When a SAPGUI Java 7.7 session in Eclipse is inactive for a long time, the session expires and it completely crashes Eclipse.

Normal behaviour under Windows and JavaGUI up to 7.5 is that we get a disconnection message the next time we try to do anything in an expired session. In Eclipse we see the same behaviour and it simply closes the open SAPGUI tab.

Since updating my SAPGUI on my Mac to 7.7 however, when the timeout is reached it completely crashes Eclipse. i.e. If I leave eclipse for long enough with a SAPGUI session inactive the entire Eclipse app disappears and I have to start it again.

It behaved properly on my system running MacOS / JavaGUI 7.5 / Eclipse 2020-06.

I upgraded to JavaGUI 7.7 and it started to crash. Did a clean install of Eclipse 2020-09 and JavaGUI 7.7 SP3 and still the same.

Is anyone else experiencing this / know how to stop it from happening?

Hello mike.pokraka

Since Eclipse 2021-06 you should use JAVA 11 instead of JAVA 8 as all new SAP Tools compiled now with JAVA 11

Hi roland.kramer,

Thanks for the info, I should have mentioned that I have already updated my Eclipse to run the JVM supplied with JavaGUI.

My current system details:

-----
Java VM: SAP SE Version 11.0.12+7-LTS-sapmachine
Java FX: 11.0.12+4
Bit Mode: 64
OS: Mac OS X(x86_64) Version 12.0.1
Java Directory: /Applications/SAP Clients/SAPGUI 7.70rev3/SAPGUI 7.70rev3.app/Contents/Resources/jre/Contents/Home

Regards,
Mike

Small update: I added a timeout to my 7.52 NPL system and got the usual dialog box on expiry, no crash. So this is partly related to the backend system, which in my case is S/4 1909 7.55

Latest ADT 3.22.1 still has this issue.

Just in case someone seems this and thinks it's an old thread, it's still happening on Eclipse 2022-03 with ADT 3.24

I may be in a position to raise an OSS in a week or so.
