Description Kim Moir

For 3.7.1 and 3.8

Something like:

There is a bug in the Oracle Java 7 64-bit JRE (b147) which may cause Eclipse to crash (http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7070134).  
The crash can be avoided by using the -XX:-UseLoopPredicate VM argument 
(-vmargs -XX:-UseLoopPredicate).  Alternatively, you can use a different JRE.
