It looks like this issue is caused by a bug introduced with JDK 6u5. Here is an eclipse bug report: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=214092
Here is the bug on Sun's bug tracker: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6614100 A workaround for this is to exclude the method from being optimized by hotspot or to downgrade the JDK before 6u5, namely JDK 6u3. -- Eclipse crashes due to jvm crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
