Troubleshooting
The following are a list of common WALA errors and their associated solutions.
If you see the following runtime error when running WALA:
com.ibm.wala.ipa.cha.ClassHierarchyException: failed to load root <Primordial,Ljava/lang/Object> of class hierarchy
Probably the java_runtime_dir property in your wala.properties file is incorrect.
Seeing build errors like:
The method freeze() is undefined for the type CorePackageImpl
You have the wrong version of EMF installed. You currently need emf-sdo-xsd-SDK-2.1.0.
wala.properties not found, or wrong wala.properties found.
The Eclipse build process is supposed to copy the contents of com.ibm.wala.core/dat to com.ibm.wala.core/bin when the com.ibm.wala.core project is built. More than one user has reported that this copy does not happen their Eclipse environment. Apparently the Eclipse workspace doesn't notice the new properties files after you copy and edit them. Forcing a refresh of the dat/ directories in the workspace seems to fix it. (Thanks for the tip, David Greenfieldboyce!)
This problem has also manifested as WALA failing to find ecore files. Eclipse is supposed to copy ecore files from the projects to bin directories.
Other problems with properties files not found? Check filenames carefully! Watch out especially for unintended spaces in filenames. (Don't search for " wala.core.tests.properties").
If you build your own Java project that uses WALA, you may have to futz with the class path a little. It seems that if you create projects as PDE projects, the PDE environment figures out dependencies correctly, but not necessarily so for plain old Java projects.
Anyway, the IProgressMonitor class is found in the org.eclipse.equinox.common project.
Exception in thread "Thread-1" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no swt-win32-3235 in java.library.path
Try launching your application as an "SWT Application" in the Eclipse Run... wizard.
