My eclipse installation keeps crashing - I checked the issue with Perm, and made the changes, but it still keeps crashing. The log shows this:

I have Texlipse installed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install the texlipse plugin (texlipse.sourceforge.net)
2. Install Helios, JDK 1.6.0_21
3. Try working for a few minutes

People have reported Eclipse hanging with Texlipse (bug 319098) but I'm not aware of anyone that's reported it causing Eclipse to crash. In any case, please raise this issue with the Texlipse developers.
