Description Michael

2010-12-21 08:34:40 EST

Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

I am running on Centos.

My uname -r is:
2.6.18-128.7.1.el5.centos.plus

Eclipse dumps its core in a JNI function called java_org_eclipse_swt_internal_gnome_GNOME__1gnome_1icon_1lookup

the last java call made is:
org.eclipse.swt.internal.gnome.GNOME._gnome_icon_lookup

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Open Eclipse 
2.  Open any workspace and create a file called 'blah.xbm'
3.  Eclipse will crash.
4.  Anytime you try to browse to the folder you created 'blah.xbm' in, eclipse will crash.

What version of Eclipse and GTK are you running? I tried reproducing this today on our RHEL4 x64 machine and I couldn't get it to crash.

I thought this bug was related to 320487, but none of the workarounds listed on the thread helped my problem.  I have just been biting the pillowcase on this problem for months and months, but would love a solid solution.  If you could offer a workaround that would be fantastic.

Eclipse Version is : Helios Service Release 1 build id: 20100917-0705

I have reproduced this in ganymede and gallileo as well.

GTK is: gtk2-devel-2.10.4-21.el5_5.6

I can't reproduce this issue. Also since bug 501816 I believe the GNOME interaction is non-existent since GIO is a hard dependency in GTK2.24.
