Build Identifier: M20100909-0800 Using Slackware 13.1 32 Bit. Java version 1.6.0 Downloaded and extracted this specific file: eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz From: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz When I execute eclipse from command line and create a new project the second I start to type 'import java.' the program crashes. No prompts are issued, no warnings, and no entries in workspace/.metadata/.log if I disable the Auto Activation in Windows -> Preferences -> Java -> Editor -> Content Assist Everything works fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install slackware 13.1 accepting defaults 2. Install Java there is an directory called extra with the distribution you will see the jre package in there 3. Install it with /sbin/pkgtool 4. choose Other 5. point it to the slackware-13.1/extra directory 6. select the jre package. 7. install selecting defaults. 8. download eclipse from this link http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.1-201009090800/eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz 9. extract with tar -xvvf eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk.tar.gz 10. cd eclipse 11. ./eclipse 12. Create a new Java Project Called Test 13. create a new Java Class called Test.java 14. at the top of Test.java file type: import java. 15. The program should crash.
Which JRE are you using?
I suspect that JRE you are using is not supported. Use Sun or IBM JRE.
(In reply to comment #1) > Which JRE are you using? java -version java version "1.6.0_20" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_20-b02) Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode
(In reply to comment #3) > Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 16.3-b01, mixed mode If you're using HotSpot then it's usually pretty good about generating crash logs. Look for files starting with hs_err_pid in ~/ or your 'eclipse/' folder. What versions of Firefox/Seamonkey/XULRunner do you have installed?

(Not at home computer) Had to rip java version off from a previous post of mine :)
Created attachment 188022 [details] Most recent log file, there were many So didn't want to attach all user@host:~$ seamonkey -version Mozilla SeaMonkey 2.0.4, Copyright (c) 1998-2010 mozilla.org user@host:~$ firefox -version Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3, Copyright (c) 1998 - 2010 mozilla.org Don't have XULRunner
The log shows that the Browser is attempting to use your seamonkey install, which is not valid (using seamonkey 1.x usually works ok for this but versions >= 2.x never do and are not supported). There's a good chance that your case is fixed by the fix for bug 319123, which is in the eclipse 3.6.2 stream. My first suggestion is to try a recent 3.6.2 build such as http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/M20110119-0834/index.php (the red 'X' beside it on the download page does not indicate a problem that matters). At the very least this should make the crash go away. To see if you also have Browser functionality (ie.- it found in alternative native renderer to use), try out Eclipse's "Internal Web Browser" view. If this does not help then your choices are: 1. Use WebKitGTK as the Browser's underlying renderer as described in http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#browserwebkitgtk . In a nutshell, either set java property "org.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK" to true in your 3.6.x, or instead get a 3.7-stream build and WebKitGTK should be used automatically. 2. Alternatively, download XULRunner from http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/1.9.2.13/runtimes/xulrunner-1.9.2.13.en-US.linux-i686.tar.bz2 and install it with either "./xulrunner --register-global" (as root) or "./xulrunner --register-user" (to install for one user only). After doing this Eclipse should pick it up and use it next time it's started. Closing report as a duplicate of bug 317383 since the underlying problem is the attempt of the Browser to use seamonkey 2.x. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 317383 ***
