MacOS 14.3 M2: RCP application blank screen with Temurin 17.0.10

[ivy-lli]

Describe the bug
Since the update to Temurin 17.0.10 (from Temurin 17.0.9), my started Eclipse RCP application shows only an empty screen.

To Reproduce

1. Install Eclipse RCP 2023-12 (4.30.0) https://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/release/2023-12/r/eclipse-ide-rcp-and-rap-developers
2. Create a new RCP application, done as described here: https://www.vogella.com/tutorials/EclipseRCP/article.html#generatetemplatewithcontent
3. Add Temurin 17.0.10 to Eclipse
   • Open Preferences
   • Java > Installed JREs
   • Add...
   • Select it
   • Apply
4. Start the Eclipse application as described in the tutorial (Step 2)
   -> Empty application
5. Close the Eclipse application
6. Add Temurin 17.0.9 to Eclipse
   • Same as step 3
7. Make sure the Eclipse application uses Temurin 17.0.9
   • Run
   • Run configurations...
   • Choose our Eclipse Application
   • Java Runtime Environment
   • Runtime JRE: select Temurin 17.0.9
   • Apply
8. Start the Eclipse application
   -> Application with sample content

I can also provide the workspace via a GitHub repo, but it is not more than the wizard for new RCP Applications created.

Expected behavior
The Eclipse RCP application should also show the sample content

Version since
Tested with 4.30

Workaround (or) Additional context
I didn't see any log, crash, or something like that.
I also already opened an issue at the Temurin site: adoptium/adoptium-support#1008

Could you please try with latest 4.31 nightly build?

One addition

I quickly wanted to see if this bug is also the case if I use the shipped JDK just j in version 17.0.10.
As the Eclipse 4.30 is shipped with the latest JDK v21, I installed the JustJ laster 17 package via the software manager, which then removed the v21 and installed the v17.0.10. After the installation, I restarted Eclipse as said, and now it is not starting at all:

I'm not sure if it has to do with the same problem, but now I have a log file:
1706519978372.log

I just wanted to mention it, but as said, maybe it has nothing to do with the bug of this issue.

Tried it with Version: 2024-03 M1 (4.31.0 M1) / Build id: 20240111-1612

Same problem, with Temurin 17.0.10 the screen in blank, with Temurin 17.0.9 everything seems to work as expected.

Note that this works on Windows:

Are there any clues in the console?

I just tried with yesterday's I-Build artifacts started from current sources:
Version: 2024-03 (4.31)
Build id: I20240128-1800

Plain SWT applications work fine:

Log is empty.

Yes exaclty the first image I've got with our real RCP application, I just wanted to create an issue on a simple reproducable way, what is the reason why I tried it with a base RCP application too.

I started once again and now I've got a log, but not sure if this has something to do with it, maybe it is also because of some config changes...

I think it also works with Linux (latest linux mint 21.3). I have an internal coworker which shortly tried our application with Temurin 17.0.10 at it seems to work fine.

I can confirm this. Launching a child Eclipse or an RCP app with Temurin JDK 17.0.10+7 leads to a totally blank app.

The log just makes it sound like some bundle was not included in the launch configuration. It looks like the leaf cause is this failure:

Unresolved requirement: Import-Package: org.apache.commons.io; version="[1.4.0,2.0.0)"

But how that's related to the JRE version is entirely unclear.

Could you maybe try to add the bundle explicitly?

Note that my screenshot with an empty RCP application is taken without any log errors. After switching back to Temurin 17.0.9 with the exact same workspace setup, the application looks good.

Same here. I'm using vanilla Eclipse SDK from here.

So one very strange thing here is that Eclipse itself works fine, just not an RCP application. There is no clue or theory for how that is possible, and I can't reproduce it because I'm on Windows so I cannot help in this regard. 😱

Makes no difference:

Tested on macOS Ventura and it's OK. So seems to be a combination of:

• macOS Sonoma
• Temurin JDK 17.0.10+7
• Launching child Eclipse/RCP app

Plain SWT Snippets are OK and work as expected when launched from Eclipse.
