Created attachment 98477 [details]
Logfile, which shows exceptions when checking "Execution Environment"

Build ID: M20080221-1800

Steps To Reproduce:
1.

Create a file ".hotspot.compiler" in the home directory of eclipse. Content is:

exclude org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode forwardDeltaWith

2.

Start Eclipse, you will see something like this:

krische@ds0093:~/eclipse$ ./eclipse 
CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith

3.

Check "Window -> Java -> Installed JRE -> Execution Environment".

No compatible JREs can be found

Workaround:
-----------

Dont use a file ".hotspot-compiler", use eclipse.ini instead by appending:

-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith

More information:

Will append the ~/eclipse/.metadata/.log as an attachment:

krische@ds0093:~/eclipse$ java -version
CompilerOracle: exclude org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode.forwardDeltaWith
java version "1.6.0_06"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)

Tried with:

- eclipse-rcp-europa-winter-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
- eclipse-jee-europa-winter-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
- eclipse-jee-europa-winter-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz


I know, that such hints are pretty compiler specific. Nonetheless, since eclipse crashes quiet often without these hints lately (on x86_64, jdk1.6), people will probably run into this issue very often and fail.
