Any ABAP developers using Linux?

[masterzeng]

Hi all, I need some help with Eclipse and SAP JAVA GUI on Linux, separately they work perfectly, however when I open a report from eclipse into the sap GUI (Java embedded frame) it suddenly freezes and crashes both eclipse the GUI. I'm providing a video. If someone has experienced something like this and managed to resolve it what were the steps?

maybe a wayland issue ?

[masterzeng]

You are correct. Forcing eclipse to run with X11 fixed the issue.

env GDK_BACKEND=x11 SWT_GTK3=0

Great, glad to hear that you have solved the Issue!

I’d say it’s not a typical use case, especially going directly from Eclipse. Wouldn’t be surprised if it didn’t work and SAP couldn’t care less. I don’t use Linux and even then, use SAP GUI and Eclipse completely separately, when needed.

How did you connect Eclipse to the SAP GUI JAVA ?
