Hi Chong, And thanks for the suggestion. I had no idea where the logs were;
I don;t know how it helps but here is the relevant part of the log at the time of the crash. !ENTRY org.eclipse.core.net 1 0 2010-08-20 11:14:44.010 !MESSAGE System property http.nonProxyHosts has been set to local|*.local|169.254/16|*.169.254/16 by an external source.

I don;t code in java and don;t know how to read a stack trace - well not to the point of being able to use it effectively to pin-point the error anyway. I am a little surprised to find anything in the log to be honest. The entire MAC locks up with some message about pressing and holding the power button until the mac turns off - and the restarting it. With such a catastrophic event I am not so sure that anything relevant to the actual crash will make it into the eclipse log.... Also it might be worth noting that the error messages posted above are replicate many times throughout the history of the log. As always, please contact me if I can be of any futher assistance.
