crash report

Just downloaded and installed Eclipse Helios M7 for Linux/x64 on openSUSE 11.2/x86_64. When I start eclipse using sun jdk 1.6.0_20, it attempts to load my workspace and then crashes. See crash log attached.

Hmm, I am not able to reproduce this, but I am working with Ubuntu and tried it
with an empty workspace.

eclipse.application=org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench
eclipse.buildId=I20100429-1549
java.runtime.name=Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment
java.runtime.version=1.6.0_20-b02
java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.
java.vm.name=Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM

Anyone able to reproduce this?

Actually, I cannot reproduce this with an empty workspace either. 

Only when I attempt to switch to my main workspace (created with Eclipse CDT 3.5 RC2) that the crash occurs. Also, the crash does not occur when Eclipse Helios M7 is started under IBM Java 1.6.0 SR8. 

I've also just tested Eclipse 3.6R1 for Linux/x86 + cdt-master-7.0.0-I201005141101.zip and reproduced the same behavior: empty workspace works just fine under Sun JDK 1.6.0_20, main workspace can only be opened successfully when using IBM Java 1.6.0 SR8.

Small correction - I meant "Eclipse 3.6 RC1" in the previous comment.
Comment 4 Markus Knauer CLA 2010-05-19 07:14:51 EDT
Maybe someone from CDT can have a look if there is a connection with this crash and CDT?

Is something in the Eclipse logfile? http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_Where_can_I_find_that_elusive_.log_file%3F

Is it possible to reproduce this with other EPP packages? With other workspaces?

requested Eclipse log file
Comment 6 Vadym Krevs CLA 2010-05-19 10:47:46 EDT
The attached Eclipse log file corresponds to an attempt to open the problematic workspace using Eclipse 3.6R1 for Linux/x64 + cdt-master-7.0.0-I201005141101.zip + sun jdk 1.6.0_20.

I don't see anything in the log file that would help me. The errors in the log file can easily be explained by the fact that the C/C++ perspective and the Mylyn task view are missing in the 3.6RC1 SDK.

Let's wait if the CDT people have seen similar crashes, and if not we should forward this error to the Eclipse Platform team.

Another user hit the same problem:

Upgrading to opensuse 11.3 final solved the problem for me.
Comment 11 Markus Knauer CLA 2011-05-20 11:34:06 EDT
Closing as NOT_ECLIPSE since users report that an upgrade of the OS helps...
If the problem still exists, please re-open this bug and move it to CDT or the Eclipse Platform team.
