Crash when opening Apogy 3D Viewer

[Francis Giraldeau]

Following the quick start tutorial, Eclipse crashes when opening the "Apogy 3D Viewer". The crash occurs with Develop and Stable 0.5 versions on Ubuntu 15.10. The error message is not always the same. Below is the output of three executions:

First execution (Develop):
[xcb] Unknown request in queue while dequeuing
[xcb] Most likely this is a multi-threaded client and XInitThreads has not been called
[xcb] Aborting, sorry about that.
java: ../../src/xcb_io.c:179: dequeue_pending_request: Assertion `!xcb_xlib_unknown_req_in_deq' failed.

Second execution (Develop):
*** Error in `/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java': realloc(): invalid next size: 0x00007f45f9356ab0 ***

Third execution (Stable):
DataProductPresentationAdapter()
WayPointPathJME3Adapter.WayPointPathJME3Adapter()
AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed

Francis,

Thanks for the bug report. It is the first time we encounter such problem. I do not know the problems but I suspect two potential issues.

1. Graphics Card driver is not adequate. Please, ensure you have installed a recent driver. This is specific to your hardware and your OS.
2. Usually we use Oracle JVM. I have not checked for a while if OpenJDK VM is working fine with Apogy. See section Eclipse Project Package in ftp://ftp.asc-csa.gc.ca/users/apogy/pub/doc/installation.html. This section explains how to ensure to make use of Oracle VM in the context of Eclipse.

Regent ;-)

I confirm that using the Oracle JDK, the view opens normaly. Thanks!

Thanks Francis for the info. I am going to put a note in the FAQs.

Closing this issue since there exists a workarround.
