Eclipse Juno Crashes Frequently without warning [message #1402865]

We are trying to adopt Eclipse Juno ( 4.2 ) with WAS 8.5 for Developers in our organisation.

We have a few developers whose Eclipse keeps on crashing without any prior warning and all their work gets lost in the middle of things. Sometimes, it crashes even when they are just browsing the code.

We are on Windows 7 64-bit.

So far, we have been unable to find the causes of the crashes.

How can we go about debugging this problem and finding a solution?

Let me know, if I can provide any other details.

Thank you

What do you mean by a crash? You mean the JVM itself just dies with a
JVM dump? If that's the case, it's probably best to get a new version
of the JVM. I know I used to have problems bringing up help which
caused the JVM to crash. It was a problem with Lucene (used by help for
indexing) that could be avoided with some magical JVM option to turn off
some feature in the JIT and went away with later versions of the JVM...

I will ask the developers who are complaining about this issue whether they get a JVM dump. One of the developers said that - if he leaves Eclipse open but doing something else, then also Eclipse crashes on him at least 2-3 times a day.

Is there a specific version / level of JVM I should make sure we use?

Our currently certified version is 6u26. Of course, it is possible that the developers experiencing the crash have a different jvm associated with Eclipse

Thank you

In the end, a crash of the JVM is a JVM bug so best use a newer JVM if
you experience JVM crashes. Certainly 6u26 is a very old version of 1.6...

We added the -vm parameter to the eclipse.ini to use the Java 7u60 version and we will watch if that helps.

In the meantime, if someone can help me decipher the logs that get generated when Eclipse crashes, I would really appreciate it.

I have attached the logs here.

Thanks

I get the impression it's crashing in the main event loop processing the
UI event queue where it's off in some low-level OS-specific code.
There's not much detail here beyond that. I'm hopeful that a decent
recent JVM will help.

Thank you.

So, we changed the -vm parameter in eclipse.ini to point to the Websphere 8.5 - JDK 7 vm. After that the original crashing has gone away.

Now we have a new issue. Eclipse now crashes with "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" as title on the window. Another pop-up that says Java (TM) Platform SE library has stopped working.

What else do I need to look at to eliminate the new error now? Are there any parameters we need to look at, from eclipse.ini after adding the -vm parameter?

Thank you

I realize this is more than a year old, but recently, we found a solution, so posting it here. The issue was resolved when we changed the default editor for xhtml pages from "Rich Page Editor" to another type. The Rich Page Editor was continuously causing memory leak, which was ultimately leading to the crashing of entire workspace after a few hours.
