Description Hasan Ceylan CLA 2010-06-13 18:54:56 EDT 
-- Configuration Details --
Product: Eclipse 1.3.0.20100609-1425 (org.eclipse.epp.package.modeling.product)
Installed Features:
 org.eclipse.platform 3.6.0.v20100602-9gF78GpqFt6trOGhL5t0nJy5fyGHKrwNY

 I have a workspace that's been in use for over a year with eclipse versions ranging from eclipse 3.5 Milestone versions.
 
 I was using the workspace fine up until Helios M7 and as I switched to Linux Lucid 10.04. Then I started to have crashes with said versions.
 Today I decided to get down to that problem. 
 
 Here's how I fixed the problem.
 I opened the workspace with 3.5.2 and closed almost all the views including the ones that use browser functionality. ? was left in Java perspective with only package explorer and Error Log view. No editors open.
 
 Then I started the workspace with RC4 and then it managed to open the workspace but crashed right after workspace was restored.
 Then I restarted the workspace with RC4, now everything is fine.
