Description Maciej Dragan CLA 2010-06-25 06:18:56 EDT 
Build Identifier: 64bit build 7600

Windows Eclipse Helios 64bit run on Windows7 64bit + JDK 1.6.0_20 64bit crashes during startup. At start it worked fine. After installing m2eclipse, springIDE and subversive with SVNKit it stopped working. It crashes during startup resulting with heap dump. I submitted the bug also to Oracle as I'm not sure if its Eclipse or Java issue.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Not sure but here's what I did:
1. Install Helios 64bit
2. Install m2eclipse, SpringIDE, Subversive + SVNKit
3. Try to start Eclipse

There doesn't seem to be anything in this log file that indicates Eclipse is at fault here.

You should try using a different VM.
Comment 3 Maciej Dragan CLA 2010-06-25 06:54:36 EDT 
I created new Helios instance on the same VM with the same plugin set but unfortunately wasn't able to replicate the issue on the instance. At the same time old one was still crashing. I started to compare both installations and the most differences occurred in settings folder. I did a copy of error instance and copied settings folder from the one which worked to the one which errored and it started working. Then I restored settings folder from a copy and unfortunately it still worked so as for now I'm not sure what was the source of the issue and can't repeat it anymore.

I'll try to make some more tests later to replicate the problem but like I wrote - I'm not sure if its an Eclipse issue.
Comment 4 Maciej Dragan CLA 2010-06-28 04:36:31 EDT 
Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce it. Also like you wrote its most likely not an eclipse issue. Everything works fine right now - great work guys!
