Eclipse 3.6 autocomplete crash
 

Hi there,
I use Slackware 13.1 and eclipse 3.6 (Helios).
When i do some programming the eclipse is allways crashing. Eg: class c, c.gwtC();
when i write the "." and the autocomplete is activated the eclipse crashes.
Does anyone have some solution to this?
Thanks in advance.

You should probably talk to the Eclipse people over IRC or their bug tracker; this is probably not related to Slackware in particular as the SlackBuild just repackages the upstream binaries. If you run Eclipse from a terminal then you can likely get an error message (including stack trace) that would be helpful.

I'm having the same issue with Eclipse crashing when the IDE attempts to suggest methods and variables for auto-complete. I just started my search for a solution and ran across this thread. Has anyone figured it out?

Slackware 13.1
Eclipse Helios 3.6.1
Java 1.6.0_23

You can try to insert the following line:

-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/seamonkey

after the "-vmargs" line in the eclipse.ini file

My eclipse.ini is the following and it solves the crash problem:

$ cat eclipse.ini
-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.0.v20100507.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_1.1.0.v20100503
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.XULRunnerPath=/usr/lib/seamonkey
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m
-Xms40m
-Xmx512m

I hope that can help you.

giovanni
