Troubleshooting
Problem
Attempt to open the workbench in IBM Rational product based on Eclipse causes closing immediately or does not starting at all with following error: " JVM terminated. Exit code=160"
Symptom
An Eclipse window displays the following message: JVM terminated. Exit code=160
After you close the Eclipse message window, a javacore file (for example, javacore.20120613.102137.20388.0002.txt) is created in the installation directory.
Cause
Your XULRunner library version is not compatible with Eclipse version used in product.
Eclipse SWT is only compatible with a range of XULRunner library versions that are installed with Firefox.
- Eclipse 3.4.x: Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.x GTK2, XULRunner 1.8.x - 1.9.0.x.
- Eclipse 3.6.x: Mozilla 1.4 GTK2 - 1.7.x GTK2, XULRunner 1.8.x - 1.9.x and 3.6.x (but not 2.x), WebKitGTK+ 1.2.x
Diagnosing The Problem
Steps:
- Open the javacore file in the product installation directory in a text editor.
- Search for the Module that caused the Java Virtual Machine to crash.
If you have this problem, it will report:srctext="codesnippet">/usr/lib/xulrunner-2/libxul.so.

- Navigate to the directory that contains the library.
- Use following commands to determine your XULRunner version.
[root@rhel5 ~]# cd /usr/lib/xulrunner-2
[root@rhel5 xulrunner-2]# xulrunner -version
Mozilla XULRunner
Resolving The Problem
Procedure:
- Download and install a 32 or 64 bit XULRunner in the supported range 1.8.1.3 - 3.6.x for your architecture.
- Locate the
-vmargssection in the eclipse.ini file that is included in the product installation. Note that some IBM Worklight Studio installations use JRE arguments from the Worklight.sh script instead of from the eclipse.ini file. If a Worklight.sh file is present in the same product directory as the eclipse.ini file, add your updates to the-vmargssections of both files.
- Locate the list of
-vmargsarguments and add java system propertyorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPathto point to the XULRunner's path. For example:
-vmargs -Dsdp.driver=RADO85-I20120529_2348 ... -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/home/xulrunner/1.8.1.3/xulrunner
- Restart the product.
