I keep running into a problem where eclipse crashes whenever I try to
create a user library.
I was able to reproduce the problem using a fresh installation of eclipse
3.3.2 in a new location, using a new workspace. I create a new java
project and attempt to create a new user library. When I attempt to select
libraries, eclipse crashes.
The only thing in the .log file is the message:
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2008-03-10 23:48:13.890
!MESSAGE Invalid preference page path: Cache
Also, this message is not printed every time eclipse crashes. I was able
to make it crash 5 times in a row without the message being printed.
In summary, here is the test procedure:
1) Install fresh eclipse (specifically
eclipse-java-europa-winter-win32.zip)
2) Open eclipse in a new workspace
3) Create new java project
4) Add libraries and CRASH!!!
It seems to only happen when my mouse actually moves over a file in the
file chooser ... but maybe I'm over diagnosing the problem.
Any help is appreciated. Also, if this is the wrong forum, could someone
please point me to the right forum? Thanks.

The correct mechanism for reporting bugs is Bugzilla
(http://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs). You've provided some good details, but
probably not enough to go on; obviously people can create User Libraries
or it would have been reported and fixed by now, so you must be doing
something out of the ordinary to cause this to happen, or perhaps there
is something about your environment that is non-standard (such as JVM).
In your bug report, be as detailed as possible about your environment
and the exact steps you take. In fact, if you provide that information
here, we might be able to diagnose the problem without going through the
effort of a formal bug report. It's up to you...
Hope this helps,
Eric

Eric,
I understand that this is not a common bug, or else no one could add
libraries. That's why I'm a little hesitant to file it as a bug.
I don't know what could be non-standard about my configuration. I'm using
the standard sun jdk/jvm 1.6 update 3 (downloaded from java.sun.com). I'm
installing a fresh version of eclipse (downloaded the latest version) and
creating a new project. The log file is amazingly empty. The complete
contents are:
!SESSION 2008-03-10 23:46:11.015
-----------------------------------------------
eclipse.buildId=M20080221-1800
java.version=1.6.0_03
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
BootLoader constants: OS=win32, ARCH=x86, WS=win32, NL=en_US
Command-line arguments: -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86
!ENTRY org.eclipse.ui 4 4 2008-03-10 23:48:13.890
!MESSAGE Invalid preference page path: Cache
When eclipse crashes, it just disappears, with no warning or error dialog
whatsoever. Sometimes the .log file will not even contain the "Invalid
preference page path" message.
Thanks for the help.

It might be on your desktop, or in your user directory (typically
something like C:\Documents and Settings\<username>), or it might be in
the directory from which Eclipse is launched. I forget the extension
that is used, or I'd just tell you to search for that.
Finally, how are you launching Eclipse? Can you post the batch/command
script you use and the contents of your eclipse.ini file? Have you
specified the JVM that Eclipse should use, as in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini ?

Eric,
I didn't find anything in My Documents, my desktop, or my user directory
that looked like a JVM dump. However, I'm not sure what I'm looking for
exactly...

I'm launching eclipse using a shortcut that has a target of:
"C:\Program Files\eclipse3.3\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program
Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_04\bin"
I've been able to reproduce the problem when pointing to jdk1.6.0_03 as
well as jdk1.5.0_13.
My eclipse.ini file is as follows:
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m
Thanks for the help,
-Simon-

Once Eclipse has started, you might want to check the VM used by going to:
