I attached a number of crash reports, crashes appear in: - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gdk_window_set_cursor(JJ)V+0 - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._g_main_context_iteration(JZ)Z - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_widget_realize(J)V - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_widget_map(J)V+0 - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gtk_widget_destroy(J)V+0 - org.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.OS._gdk_window_set_cursor(JJ)V+0
The stack traces in the crash logs are all unique and there doesn't seem to be any common pattern, this is a bit strange. Can you please try using the latest 4.2 build (I20120608-1400) and see if the crashes continue to occur? I have been using this build on Ubuntu 11.04 without any random crashes. Are you using Unity or Gnome? Can you try with different workspaces and check if the crash happens with any particular workspace or with all of them?
I've had these crashes under Unity, gnome shell and cinnamon in Ubuntu 11.10. I've now upgraded to Ubuntu 12.04 (includes eclipse 3.7.2-1 and cdt 8.0.2-1) and haven't seen as much crashes (I'll attach a new one). Note that I frequently have eclipse running for days. I start eclipse from a shell script as follows (to have working scrollbars): UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0 LIBOVERLAY_SCROLLBAR=0 eclipse -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/jni/ $@

Hi Dennis, Are you still seeing these Eclipse crashes? Since the earlier crash logs are from older versions of Eclipse, can you please use the latest Eclipse release (4.3) and report whether these crashes are continuing to occur? I have been using 4.3 myself on Ubuntu 12.04 x86_64 without any major issues. Please provide the crash logs again in case you are able to reproduce the problem. Thanks!
Closing the bug for now as there has been no response. Please re-open with new error logs in case these crashes occur again. Thanks!
