Whenever I navigate to Help - Help Contents in my Eclipse and enter a search term in the search box, the indexing starts but after a few seconds eclipse crashes. How to fix this?

I had this issue on a win 64 bit Eclipse
Version: Helios Service Release 2
Build id: 20110218-0911

The problem was that by default my Eclipse was started with the JRE 7 I have installed.

The issue was fixed when I added:
-vm C:/Program Files/Java/jdk1.6.0_27/bin/javaw.exe

between the lines
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M

and
-showsplash
in the eclipse.ini file in my eclipse installation folder.

Brilliant -- thanks for posting the workaround, Robert.

Exactly the same has just happened to me (enter Help, type text, hit Go, see it index and *bam*, Eclipse falls over).

Have added

-vm C:/Program Files/Java/jre6/bin/javaw.exe

to my eclipse.ini file, and at can at least search the help system now.


Cheers, Aidan
