Description Deepu Bhatia CLA 2002-07-18 22:03:35 EDT 
I am attempting to create a new project on an existing codebase. I am using 
the "New Java project" option through the wizard. While trying to examine the 
codebase, I am getting a message box stating "An internal error occurred". The 
title of the message box states "Build Problems".
I am getting this error consistently with the 2.0 release.

I am putting a copy of the error log here:

Comment 2 Deepu Bhatia CLA 2002-07-19 20:54:59 EDT 
I changed the JDK version from 1.3.1_04 to 1.4_01. I am able to compile the 
project perfectly well now. At the bare minimum we should at least update 
release notes to document that using JDK 1.3 might give problems.
Comment 3 Philipe Mulet CLA 2002-07-22 08:10:36 EDT 
What are your memory settings ? You are simply seeing a VM issue which occurs 
if you don't give it enough memory. Use the "-Xmx250Mb" command line arguments 
(behind -vmargs).
Comment 4 Deepu Bhatia CLA 2002-07-22 14:30:32 EDT 
Yes, you r right. This is a VM memory issue and not an Eclipse bug. I provided 
the "-Xmx250Mb" command line arg and that solved the problem on JDK 1.3.1.
Many thanks.
