Re: ClassCircularityError

Scott,

I won't guarantee this will help, but it's worth a shot. There are (or at
least used to be) two options to help fix workspace problems. I first
used these back in version 5.x so they may have changed. I think I've
done them on a V7.0 install.

1) Initializing the workspace with the following command:

"C:\{wdsc installation path}\eclipse.exe" -initialize -data "{your
workspace path}"

2) a clean start:

"C:\{wdsc installation path}\eclipse.exe" -clean

I believe the default location for {wdsc installation path} is "C:\Program
Files\IBM\SDP70". (I usually install it to "C:\IBMSDP70" to shorten the
path.)

I hope this helps. If these still work I'll make an entry in the Midrange
wiki.

. . . I had to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill
the process.)

However, it didn't solve the problem. Nor did a reboot of the PC. All
it did was stop WDSC. The next time I started WDSC, it did the same
thing, got stuck in that ClassCircularityError loop, and never started.

Finally, I discovered that I could click "Cancel" while it was showing
the progress bar and saying "Synchronizing Resources". If I do that, I
can get past the ClassCircularityError. After hitting Cancel, it skips
the synchronizing of resources, and proceeds to start up WDSC, and it
seems to work, though I don't know if it'll cause other problems down
the road.
