This is interesting. I am using Sun Java 1.4.2 at home on Windows XP and
Eclipse 3.0 M3. I have experienced no JVM related problems whatsoever,
either with Eclipse or Stellation. At work I use Sun Java 1.4.1_02 with
Eclipse 3.0 M3 on Windows XP as my sole development environment and again I
experienced no problems (obviously I have not been able to use Stellation in
that environment.

On Windows XP, make sure you have applied service pack 1a and have then
upgraded on top of that from the Windows Update Site.
