Sometimes when I start Eclipse 3.7 M1 it crashes before it finishes loading up. I thought it was a openjdk or icedtea bug so I opened a bug report here:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=532

Unfortunately they say it is an eclipse bug.

This is what was written on the terminal when Eclipse crashed:

#
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007fd16f8d047e, pid=8855, tid=140538343175952
#
# JRE version: 6.0_18-b18
# Java VM: OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (14.0-b16 mixed mode linux-amd64 )
# Derivative: IcedTea6 1.8.1
# Distribution: Custom build (Fri Aug 20 13:23:56 UTC 2010)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libgobject-2.0.so.0+0x2e47e]  g_type_check_instance_is_a+0xbe
#
# An error report file with more information is saved as:

#
# If you would like to submit a bug report, please include
# instructions how to reproduce the bug and visit:
#   http://icedtea.classpath.org/bugzilla

I will try to attach the log file, but if I can't it is attached at the above website.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start eclipse through the terminal, by clicking the shortcut - it doesn't matter what way you start it.

Fixed in the 3.7 stream > 20100827.

This should be fixed in the 3.6.x stream as well, but at this point it may be late for 3.6.1, in which case it will be in 3.6.2.  I'll update the Target Milestone accordingly when this is determined.

This will go into 3.6.2.  I can't set the report's Target Milestone because this value does not exist yet.

SSQ can you review for 3.6.2?  It's basically some missing /*long*/s where GTypes are used.  Since it's WebKitGTK it cannot affect eclipse unless the user turns it on with the "...UseWebKitGTK" switch.

Fix released to the 3.6.2 stream > 20100909
