On Windows XP, using Eclipse 3.1M2, JDK 5.0, and using VE to build Swing
apps, my system crashes quite often (Blue Screen of Death) which is pretty
hard to do (but certainly not impossible) on Windows XP.
The only other time I've crashed WinXP is with bad drivers, which I
certainly do not have now.
This happens while making any changes to a visual class (Swing, didn't
have this problem w/ SWT, though SWT editing was so insanely slow I had to
quit using it). This has never happened using eclipse w/o VE.
There is absolutely no indication as to what happened in the system logs,
it all looks clean there.
Of course this never happens when I boot over to the Gentoo partition on
the same machine, however, this particular project is targeted toward
windows users and the client could care less about portability to other
platforms.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Anyone else experience blue-screen
crashes like this?

I have a similar environment (XP, Eclipse 3.1M2, JDK1.5, building Swing
apps) and I am not having this problem.
What kind of video card do you have? I had problems if I tried to use
the new OpenGL support with my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.

I installed SP2 and have had a slower system since, but no stability
issues.
Another quirk is; renaming widgets. If I change the name of a widget in
the properties menu (or by right-clicking) eclipse will completely freeze
up and have to be manually terminated so I can bring it back up.
Everything else is great, I love it other than the one or two system
bomb-outs per day!
I don't have time right now to diddle around and attempt to try variations
like eclipse 3.0.1 w/ jdk 1.4, etc.
I absolutely must have the jdk 5.0 and I would also really prefer M2 as it
has the most java 5.0 support so far (though it's lacking a lot more than
it supports).
Thanks!

The lock up on the rename is known bug. We have a patch in the
maintenance build out on the update site. It's not the official release
of the 1.0.1.1 but it's darn close if not it. and it fixes the lockup.

We haven't done any testing on JDK5.0 with 3.1M2, so we don't know if
there are any problems. Let's try narrowing it down.
1) Switch to JDK1.4.2 instead and see if you have the problems. If you
have no problems, then the problem is JDK5.0. If you do have a problem then:
a) Try bring JDK5.0 back, but use Eclipse 3.0.1 instead. If you have
no problems, then the problem is Eclipse 3.1M2. If you have a problem then:
(i) Try going down to Eclipse 3.0.1 with JDK1.4.2 (which is the
current supported combination) and see if it still happens. If it still
happens, then the problem is your system configuration.
