Description Andreas Muelder CLA 2013-09-20 11:00:55 EDT 
When I develop an eclipse plugin and start a runtime workspace, it happens frequently that the runtime eclipse crashes. (every 5 - 10 times) Eclipse prompts with a message box that it could not be started with a random exception, mostly one of the exceptions below. If I try to start the runtime again, it always works. I observed this behavior on different machines, but only with the Eclipse 4.x stream. 

org.osgi.framework.BundleException: Exception in org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaPlugin.start() of bundle org.eclipse.jdt.ui.
	at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.startActivator(BundleContextImpl.java:734)
	at org.eclipse.osgi.framework.internal.core.BundleContextImpl.start(BundleContextImpl.java:683)


java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError
	at org.eclipse.jdt.ui.PreferenceConstants.initializeDefaultValues(PreferenceConstants.java:3739)
	at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.ui.JavaUIPreferenceInitializer.initializeDefaultPreferences(JavaUIPreferenceInitializer.java:38)

Could you please attach a complete log from one of the crash scenarios?

Also, could it be that you launch the runtime while it's still building/compiling?

Dani, I don't think that the runtime was still building/compiling when this crash happend but I am not 100% sure. I will try to keep an eye on that.
