Eclipse crashes

**Zilioum** · February 28th, 2011

I hadn't used eclipse since my upgrade to 10.10. I opened it yesterday, and after a few seconds it just crashed. This happens over and over. I don't even have to click on anything once it's open. Here are the first few lines of the error report it puts in my home folder:

Code:

#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f6d95fd8bd6, pid=11732, tid=140108302956288

#

It goes on for pages, but I think that this is the important part.

It happens on all three eclipse versions I'm using. Galileo, Helios and Helios Cpp. I downloaded eclipse from the official homepage and run it from my home directory. This was working well for more than one year. Any ideas? I'd say it has something to do with the JRE (elaborate guess

)

I have a very similar bug, in Eclipse, and it just started happening, here is the auto-generated report.

Same here. It has been working for ages, but after the most recent update, I get

I tried re-installing everything (both Galileo and Helios) and I noticed the problem occurs only after installing the C/C++ plugin (or all the time for Helios C/C++).

Your error message looks a lot like the one I get, alberto. Problems also started occurring after I installed c++ helios.
Did you install it from a repository? I got it from the website.

It does indeed look similar.
I was using Galileo with C/C++ plugin with everything from repository. When the crashes started happening, I tried downloading Helios (C/C++) from the website but I got exactly the same behaviour. I also tried starting it all from scratch: deleting the .eclipse directory and re-downloading all the plugins, but it didn't help.

I followed the suggestion in the error message and filed a bug report at the Sun website.

Thanks, good idea! Could you please send me the link to the report, so that I can weigh in?

Cheers

No problem. I used this link:

http://bugreport.sun.com/bugreport/crash.jsp

I did not hear anything at all from them though, so I don't have any link to the specific report I filed. Not even an auto-generated email with "thanks for submitting a bug report" or something like that.

**Zilioum** · March 3rd, 2011

Ah, thanks anyway for the link. I thought that it worked like launchpad, where you can say that a bug affects you as well. I'll take a deeper look at our problem this weekend, maybe using a different jre might solve the problem. On my notebook I don't have this problem, will check what the difference is.

Cheers
