Very strange LinkageError during plugin loading [message #329107] Thu, 12 June 2008 19:34 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Originally posted by: eclipse-news.rizzoweb.com

Hopefully someone can follow what I'm about to attempt to describe - it
is very hard to put into words.

We have developed a BaseUIPlugin (that extends
org.eclipse.ui.plugin.AbstractUIPlugin) for all of our plugins to
extend. In BaseUIPlugin.start() we refer to a utility class,
LoggerHelper, from our non-UI plugin (CorePlugin). We have several
plugins whose activator class extends BaseUIPlugin and most of the time
this works just fine. For example, I have AppUIPlugin that is a concrete
subclass of BaseUIPlugin.
However, I've just encountered a problem when I tried to take another
plugin (AppExtensionPlugin) that did not extend BaseUIPlugin and make it
extend BaseUIPlugin. I end up with a java.lang.LinkageError when
BaseUIPlugin is trying to load, and the exception message refers to the
utility class LoggerHelper (from the CorePlugin project).

I don't understand why making the new AppExtensionPlugin extend
BaseUIPlugin would cause it (and other subclasses of BaseUIPlugin) to
throw this exception.

I've tried to reproduce this with a small set of simple plugin projects,
trying to replicate the dependencies, but with not luck. My simple
example works as expected.

The root exception stack trace is below. I am immensely grateful for any
ideas, pointers, shots-in-the-dark, whatever...

I've seen this error before when my target accidentally contained
multiple versions of a plug-in that contained the class with the linkage
error.

Hmm, I don't think that would be the problem in my case, because the
class with the linkage error is one of our own in our plugin. In other
words, it is a workspace class, not coming from the target.
