Error description
When using the IBM Rational Team Concert (RTC) Client in IBM Rational Software Architect (RSA), primarily when opening the 'Pending changes' view, RSA crashes on loading a workspace if the 'Pending Changes' view is open. The defect is reported to occur with Eclipse v4.2 (RSA v9.0) and can also occur in shell-shared environments with RSA 8.5.1, which uses Eclipse 3.6. There is also a Java defect associated with this problem and it is planned to be fixed with Java 7 SR6: --->http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1IV46146 --->'IV46146: CRASH VERIFYING BYTECODES OF CLASS STORED IN THE SHARED CLASSES CACHE' -->Workarounds are discussed in the following article: --->https://jazz.net/library/article/1337 --->'Workarounds: Eclipse client problems in Rational Team Concert 4.0.4' -->The workaround is either: --->a. rollback the RTC client to version 4.0.3 OR --->b. change the eclipse.ini file of RSA and set the -Xshareclasses parameter to 'none' OR --->c. remove '-Xshareclasses:name=IBMSDP_%u '
Local fix
