Just installed Eclipse 3.1. I tried the "HelloWorld" tutorial and when i clicked on "Run" it caused a "system low on memory" message and then my computer would crash. I loaded it again, this time it ran but then 5-6 minutes later it would crash again. This has happened two - three times now. I searched previously reported bugs and foung Bug #: 43167 to be most similar. here is my .log output: !SESSION 2005-09-16 11:18:18.740 ----------------------------------------------- eclipse.buildId=I20050627-1435 java.version=1.5.0_01 java.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc.

Could you please provide the VM log?
(In reply to comment #1) > Could you please provide the VM log? How do I do that?
When the VM crashed, a log should be in the folder that contains your eclipse.exe. Don't you have any new file there?
(In reply to comment #3) No I don't have any new file there. The only log file I have was created in my workspace folder, under ".metadata".
Suspecting there is not enough memory on this system. Maybe adding -Xmx128M on your command line could help. eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx128M BTW Win98 is not an officially supported platform. http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/readme_eclipse_3.1.1.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments
Closing, this is not an Eclipse bug. The crash occurs in VM. Now, the platform is not supported, and the memory requirements are not met...
