JVM terminations/application crash at unpredictable intervals; sometimes on eclipse startup, sometimes after import of different files, sometimes during file opening. There's no specific pattern. Exit code = 6

Additional information: This bug was found during testing with another product and isolated to Eclipse GA on Sun JRE where it was reproduced. We were unable to find any stack tracebacks, core dumps or other debug information, but that may have been due to how eclipse was installed. The issue was more difficult to reproduce on eclipse than on our product - it took some considerable fiddling around at times, importing and opening files, closing, editing and saving to provoke the crash.
I'm sorry but we really don't have enough details to be able to track this problem. Could you try with another VM?

This looks like a duplicate of the bug 92250. Could you try if error occurs with -XX:MaxPermSize=256m ?
After further investigation, setting the permgenspace to 1024 resolved the problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 92250 ***
This problem is still occurring on the dependent product with MaxPermSize set to 1024M. Please investigate.
What version of the Sun JRE are you using? I suggest trying with 1.5.0_07 or later, as there are known memory leak problems with 1.5.0_06 or earlier.

Without additional information there is nothing more we can do. Here is the list (in order of priority) of the things we need: - the log of the VM crash - the console ouput while running with the -XX:+PrintGCDetails vm argument - the set of active bundles (can be obtained in the configuration details) - the workspace log file
Created attachment 56218 [details] Log file of "random" crash
Created attachment 56219 [details] Log file of restart attempt
I have the the same (or at least very similar) problem. Eclipse runs fine for 30 minutes, or a few hours, or a couple of days. Then it crashes. Once crashed, any attempt to restart it fails - I am not out of memory, and can find no obvious problem. Logging out and logging back in solves the problem. I have attached two log files. If you require any further information, I will be happy to provide it. Cheers, Brad
Created attachment 56372 [details] Crash with MaxPermSize=256m After submitting the last logs, I have been using Eclipse with the parameters recommended in the other bug report: -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -XX:+PrintGCDetails I have just experienced the first "random" crash since using these parameters. In case it is important, I am attaching here the log-file of that crash
I switch this week to OpenSuse 10.2: This bug was not here on my Suse 9.1. Using the following VM parameter : -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Xms512M -Xmx728M -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M -XX:+PrintGCDetails JVM terminations/application crash at unpredictable intervals; I install some JVM to test The result are : With SUN JVM 5 or 6 : error code is Exit code = 6 With BEA 5 Exit code=11 With SUN 1.4.2 Exit code=1 Using GTK or motif Eclipse version So Eclipse crashs with every JVM I try with. I have only the log file into the .metadata without info about the crash.

The crash occurs when using Eclipse (never occurs in background) On KDE and Window Maker (I did not try another GUI) Where I can find the log file for the crash ?
Created attachment 58600 [details] various error codes. This contains two different error displays where eclipse is using jre 1.5 and jre 1.6. It also shows the environmental variables in the linux environment. There is also stack dump when trying to look at the properties of a project. This may or may not be related but is happening at the same time so i included it.
this is readily reproducible. It is still random but I am unable to work for longer than 5 minutes before this crashes. It has happened when opening up help, during a debug session when changing the perspective. It has happened when just changing the perspective without running my application code.
Created attachment 58601 [details] Variosu errors and eclipse log trace as well. This is the same information as previous attachment but it also includes the eclipse log trace.
I can not run ECLIPSE on JAVA 6.0 on SuSE LINUX 9.0 since ECLIPSE 3.3M4 In other words: 3.3M5, 3.3M5eh and 3.3M6 crash before any display. Am I the only one in the world running ECLIPSE on SuSE LINUX 9.0? ;JOOP!
Bogdan, please work with Bradley to recreate the crash. He seems to crash in gtk_expose() although the actual GTK call that crashes is different. Could it be a cairo issued? Please get the Linux version details. tkman's crash seems bogus (it's an exception, not a VM crash). His stack trace shows this: java.lang.InstantiationException: com.aptana.ide.editors.views.outline.propertyManager.PropertyManager
J.F. Lanting, can you please open another bug report describing the trouble with Java 6 (add me and Bogdan to the CC)? We should be able to browse changes between M4 and M5 to get to the bottom of it.
Bradley, are you still having problems with 3.3 M6? If so, could you let me know your GTK version details as well as the rest of your config details (rpm -q gtk2 cairo atk pango glib2). JF Lanting, are you still having difficulties? I was able to run 3.3M6 on Suse9 with Sun's JRE6. If you are still having problems can you please open a new bug? Thanks!
I am having the similar problem with exit code =6, on Red Hat Enterprise with eclipse 3.2, and SUN jdk1.5.0_10. I am doing an evaluation procedure to decide if our company software development should move onto Linux with Eclipse, currently we are on Window XP + VMWare. Eclipse is OK if left to run for few days, but it crashed whenever pressing CTRL + space to prompt hints for variables or methods etc.
Jason - do you have a stack trace? Have you tried it with the 3.3 release? Have you tried another JRE? (Like Sun's 6_01?)
Thanks, Bogdan. I will try your suggestion and get back to you the results.
We are not seeing this problem with current versions of Eclipse and current JVMs on SUSE9 or 10, and have gotten no new info from reporters since last August, so I'm closing this as WORKSFORME. If you are still seeing this problem, please re-open and indicate as much detail as possible about your configuration and what you were doing when the crash occurred.
I am now also getting this very same error (definitely not WORKSFORME) with Eclipse 3.7.1 on Windows 7 64-bit. Exit code 6! If this helps, the problem started appearing when along with the 64-bit JRE 7, I also installed the 32-bit JRE 6 for some old software.
