Description Jessica CLA 2011-11-17 00:37:36 EST 
Build Identifier: M20090917-0800

Eclipse crashes all the time on my system. It happens every time I try to double-click on a class name in the source code (e.g, public interface Transformation : double-clicking "Transformation" will cause a crash). Sometimes it even crashes when I just scroll through the source. This doesn't just happen with the one file. It doesn't have to be the name of the class that's defined in that file: public Class1 implements Interface1 will crash when I double-click "Interface1"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a project
2. Open a source file
3. Double-click on the name of a class

Your build identifier and JRE dump indicate that you're using Eclipse 3.5.1, so updating report's Version field accordingly.

Eclipse/SWT 3.5.1 does not support XULRunner 1.9.2, which is what your OS has according to your JVM dump.  The supported XULRunner versions for each Eclipse/SWT release are listed at http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserlinux .  Upgrading to a newer Eclipse release should make this work better for you.

Closing report since this configuration is not supported by the Eclipse release that's being used.
