Description bugzzy CLA 2005-10-31 03:34:52 EST
I have Eclipse with all latest plugins from CDT and PHPbuilder. After installing
it one day ago, i haven't changed any configuration settings. It worked one
night, and today after opening any project (doesn't matter if php, or java or
c), when i try to save any file, eclipse crashes with the following log:
http://jacekp.siat.pl/eclipse_crash/hs_err_pid4414.log.txt

I find that, after creating new workspace things work again. So it may be fault
of some settings in .metadata directory in workspace directory.
I hope you can reproduce the bug using example workspace:
http://jacekp.siat.pl/eclipse_crash/projekty_kopia.zip

unpack the zip file, in eclipse switch to workspace projekty_kopia/, ignore any
errors about not found files (i've deleted some source code files to shrink the
zip package), switch to sk2httpd project, open any source code file in src/,
change it a little bit and try to save. Then eclipse should crash.

I hope this will help you discover what's wrong, as this behaviour is new in
eclipse 3.1. I've been using version 3.0 with the same configuration without any
problems.

If something is unclean or unprecise, please contact me: jacekp@siat.pl

This looks like an error in VM/native code.

i forgot to note. Eclipse crashes the same with java 1.4.2 and 1.5.0_05

the bug again happend to me while i was working on some code. eclipse started to
behave strangely (ie. editor cursor has gone;) ). after starting eclipse again,
it crashes the same way like i mentioned above.

following my previous suspicions, i've checked which files were changed for last
few minutes in /workspace/.metadata directory and played with them a little.
After removing all files in .metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.root/
eclipse now works again without crashing. But when i open files, which were
opened until the crash, eclipse shows they're empty, however using other file
editor they are all right.
