2.3.2.1 Designer Crash During Preview?

I just grabbed 2.3.2.1. We currently use 2.2 and it works fine.

2.3 is working for our web Viewer implementation, but I'm having a problem w/ the designer preview crashing.

Steps:
- grab the 2.3.2.1 all-in-one
- new report project
- new report using "my first report" template
- Add a datasource/set for "SELECT * FROM CLASSICMODELS.CUSTOMERS"
- Bind template report's table to dataset
- Add CustomerName column to table
- Switch to preview tab
* Eclipse closes. Log file attached.

Hi jameskoch,

You may try downloading it again and see if you somehow got a bad copy, cause I have not heard of this issue before.

I tested again, using fresh download from a new mirror. I also ran Eclipse w/ the -clean switch, and used a blank report instead of the My First Report.

The crash still occurs.

The only thing I didn't try was a reboot, which I'll try eventually.

Also, I'm on Vista x64 which has been known to throw a wrench into many things.

jameskoch,

I haven't heard of any issues with this before. I will be upgrading to Vista 64 here shortly. I guess I will see if I experience the same issues when that happens. I'll let you know if I do or if I hear anything more on this.

I've tracked this down to being yet-another side effect of this designer bug - <a class='bbc_url' href='https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=275008'>https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=275008</a><br />

Essentially, my reports typically had a bad relative path reference to a library, and this interferes with both the debugger and the preview.
