The crash is coming from a broken rxtx library installed from http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse/.
If I remove ~/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_3.7.0_155965261/plugins/gnu.io.rxtx.linux.x86_64_2.1.7.3_v20071015/os/linux/x86_64/*.so and symlink the packaged libraries from /usr/lib/jni/librxtx*.so (Ubuntu package librxtx-java), it works. A version mismatch warning will be printed out, but no error and no crash happens. Removing the "RXTX end-user runtime" plugin in Eclipse does not help, because "Target Management Terminal" depends on it for serial connections. The plugin was created to remedy https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175336 - but this does not account for situations where the rxtx libraries are installed in the system JNI library directory. Someone should open a new bug report on the Eclipse bug tracker to request a fix for this. ** Bug watch added: Eclipse bugs #175336 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175336 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-6 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/593172 Title: eclipse crashes on loading on serial terminal Status in “openjdk-6” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I open a connection to a USB serial port using the RXTX (http://rxtx.qbang.org/eclipse) and the Target Manager Terminal plugins, Eclipse consistently crashes with no error messages.
