I know this is a known problem and I have been looking in a lot of other forums for a way to fix this problem but never found one that works for me. So I thought I should as here but I'm not sure if it's the right place.

As mentioned in the title Eclipse crashes and does it a lot. It gives no warning, just shuts down and gives the following message:

Java was started but returned exit code=1
c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar C:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.10.v201005 07.jar
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86_64
-showsplash
-launcher c:\eclipse\eclipse.exe
-name Eclipse
--launcher.library
c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32. x86_64_1.1.1.R36x_v20100810\eclipse_1309.dll
-startup c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100 507.jar
-exitdata bf0_5c
-vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
-vm c:\windows\system32\javaw.exe
-vmargs

-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-jar c:\eclipse\plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100 507.jar

I am using Windows 7 64 bit, Java 1.6 Update 23 for windows 64 bit, and eclipse helios 3.6.1 for windows 64 bit.

This is my eclipse.ini file:
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1. 1.R36x_v20100810
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

I have tried to add the: -vm c:\program files\java\jdk1.6.0_23\bin\javaw.exe
line which I read about in some forum. I have tried to re-import the workspace which I read could be a problem too.

Does anyone have any ideas of what I can do to solve this or at least point me in the right direction?

I appreciate any answer!

That fixed it!

I added the line:
-XX:-UseCompressedOops

to eclipse.ini and so far so good! 24h without crashing. A new record!

Adding '-XX:-UseCompressedOops' to the eclipse.ini worked!
Thank you all.
This has been driving me crazy for days!

This helped me too. I am a newbie setting up eclipse and C++ so it took me a couple of iterations as I was not sure where in the ini file I needed to add it and found it worked if it was the last line I had to add the command -XX:-UseCompressedOops
at the end of the eclipse.ini file:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_14 00.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_64_1.1. 2.R36x_v20101222
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
openFile
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_24\bin\javaw.exe
--launcher.defaultAction
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx192m
-XX:-UseCompressedOops
