Description Jeff Clark CLA 2011-03-05 15:17:18 EST 
Build Identifier: 20110218-0911

Eclipse will crash guaranteed every 3-15 minutes when in a project with a few files open and there is some sort of user interaction with Eclipse, i.e. Typing in a file, compiling, switching between files using the tabs above.

At first I thought it might have been happening every time the auto save occurred, but when I changed that value to 999 minutes, it would still crash.

I am using the AVR Eclipse Plugin from http://avr-eclipse.sourceforge.net/updatesite/ Version 2.3.4.20100807PRD
and also the Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers Version 1.3.2.20110218-0812

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Eclipse CDT and create a managed C project.
2. Create some code to compile.
3. Compile the code.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3 and within 3-15 minutes Eclipse will crash.

I forgot to mention that I also can reproduce this error on a separate, but similar machine.

Try adding
-XX:-UseCompressedOops
to eclipse.ini

See bug 333227.

I have added this line.  It appears to be making a difference.  I did get another crash that was more like 20-25 minutes after the change.  I will continue with this and see if it keeps happening and update you with results.
