Can't get eclipse 3.1.1 to work reliably on linux AMD64 [message #296157]

I've been trying for several months to get eclipse working on an AMD
Opteron. I just installed the x86_64 version of jdk1.5.0_06 and the
latest x86_64 version of eclipse. Sometimes eclipse comes up but
sometimes it grabs 100% of my cpu and stops responding. Even if it does
come up it will eventually lock my processor at 100%. I uses so much
cpu that I takes 5 to 10 min for me to execute a ps command and kill the
process.

Currently I have Fedora Core 4 installed. The same problem occurs on
Fedora Core 3. I'm wondering if anyone out there is able to use eclipse
on linux with a 64 bin amd processor?

I keep hoping that new releases of eclipse and/or the jdk will fix this
problem but, sigh.....

Any help would be appreciated

Run eclipse from a terminal window. When Eclipse seems hung, use
"kill -3 <pid>" to the Java VM process -- it will dump a stack trace to
the terminal window, and post it to a bug at bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/.
This should help figure out what's going on.

The behaviour you're seeing is not normal or expected, of course.

Try to use JVM interpreted mode only. (-vmargs -Xint)
