Created attachment 248344 [details]
stack trace

Running up-to-date Arch Linux with gnome-shell 3.14.1. In gnome-shell I installed this extension: https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/779/clipboard-indicator/.

In this extension the settings are respectively as follows: 15,30,1000 and 1024.

When starting eclipse an out of memory exception occurs (see attachment).

I have hit the same stack trace in Kepler 4.3.0. However in my case it was not related to a gnome extension. The problem appears to be more generic then that. I suspect having anything very large in the clipboard will trip this error. 

We expericed this crash after using x1lvnc with the -ncache 10 option. Rebooting cleared the clipboard and worked-around this issue.

I have hit the same stack trace in Eclipse CDT Luna Service Release 2 (4.4.2).

I disabled clipboard-indicator gnome extension and the problem was resolved.

I updated the gnome shell extension yesterday and it seems the issue is now resolved.
