testcase for crashing eclipse

Comment 2 Dani Megert 2006-01-23 05:16:06 EST

Which editor did you use? Can you provide the VM dump for the crash?
Works for me using Text editor, but freezes UI for quite some time due to bug 124836.

Comment 3 Andreas Schildbach 2006-01-23 05:42:24 EST

I used the text editor.

Where is the VM dump located?

Comment 4 Dani Megert 2006-01-23 05:48:46 EST

It's normally either with the java command or eclipse.exe.

Comment 5 Andreas Schildbach 2006-01-23 06:06:52 EST

I am running Linux. My account has not got any write permissions on the Java installation directory. The eclipse installation directory would be writable, but I can't find any VM dump there. How would that file be called?

Comment 6 Dani Megert 2006-01-23 06:10:51 EST

Also check your home directory. An exemplary name is "hs_err_pid4593.log"

Comment 7 Andreas Schildbach 2006-01-23 06:28:15 EST

There is not single file starting with "hs_err_" on my filesystem.

Maybe Eclipse doesn't crash, but exit "normally"? There is an Error box appearing, saying "JVM terminated. Exit code=1 [...]".

Comment 8 Billy Biggs 2006-01-23 13:02:54 EST

Which Java virtual machine are you using?

  java -version

This is probably another "huge X window breaks limit, causes crashes"
problems.

Comment 9 Andreas Schildbach 2006-01-23 13:47:24 EST

I'm running

$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_06"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)
