Eclipse SDK 3.0.2 has been tested and validated on the following platform:

Eclipse Platform
Operating system | Processor architecture | Window system | Java 2 Platform
HP HP-UX 11.23 | Itanium IA64 | Motif | HP-UX SDK for the Java 2 platform, version 1.4.2.06 for Itanium (available from http://www.hp.com/go/java).

Eclipse Help subsystem requires HP Mozilla Web browser, version 1.6 for Itanium, available from http://www.hp.com/go/mozilla

## 2. Compatibility with Previous Releases

Not Applicable.

## 3. Known Issues

> 3.1 Platform
> 3.1.1 Core
> 3.1.6 SWT

Note: Bug numbers refer to the Eclipse project bug database at http://dev.eclipse.org/bugs/.

### 3.1.1 Platform - Core

#### Execute permissions of the .so files are missing

After Eclipse is installed, give execute permission to all `.so` files underneath `$ECLIPSE_HOME`

### 3.1.6 Platform - SWT

#### Eclipse hangs intermittently

CPU intensive operations that keep the CPU close to 100% utilized may cause sporadic Eclipse hangs. This is an intermittent problem. (bug 56841)

## 4. Running Eclipse

#### Increase performance of Eclipse on Itanium

If you have more than 2GB of RAM on your Itanium box, you may want to increase the Java VM’s memory (`-Xmx`). For example:

> `eclipse -vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -Xmn192m`

#### Cut/Copy/Paste feature of editor does not work when you access the Itanium Box using Reflection X

Complete the following procedure:

> 1. Go the Reflection X main window.
> 2. Click on Settings > Display.
> 3. Uncheck "Windows Clipboard owns selection".
> 4. Restart Reflection X.

#### Display Eclipse GUI in pretty colors

Create an `.Xdefaults` file in your home directory with the following content:

> `

> Eclipse*spacing:0
> Eclipse*XmForm.background:#e8e7e3
> Eclipse*XmForm.foreground:black
> Eclipse*XmList.background:#e8e7e3
> Eclipse*XmList.foreground:black
> Eclipse*XmTextField.background:#e8e7e3
> Eclipse*XmTextField.foreground:black
> Eclipse*XmText.foreground:black
> Eclipse*XmText.background:white
> Eclipse*background:#d6d3ce
> Eclipse*foreground:black

> `

After creating the above file, issue the following command (your `DISPLAY` variable must be set prior to running the command):

> `/usr/bin/X11/xrdb <your home directory>/.Xdefaults`
