Now trying to read the attached error log creates a new error each time closeing the error log property window with OK. ======================================================= Here is a copy of the

I am currently putting my hands away from eclipse.
Nobody else has reported this problem. I suspect you are using a daily build instead of a stable build are you using the integration builds? Please try the stable build from tomorrow again.
The Java editor crashes when I type the first character in a generated class template in a position where it is the beginning of a identifier or a keyword. On the other hand, "//"-comments or javadoc-comments with characters inside the comment, or ";"-characters in method bodies are ok, no crash with that. Crash means: no reaction, freezing for a few seconds, than exiting without any message. Repeatable. My installation is R1.0 (eclipse-platform-R1.0-win32.zip, eclipse-JDT-R1.0-win32.zip) and Sun's JRE 1.3.0_01 on Win2k. Definitely _no_ dayly build of eclipse.
The first walkback below is from a broken daily build and is not valid. Wolfgang please provide detailed steps in bug, e.g., 1) create a new class 2) insert a template 3) move the cursor and type ->... Was there any information in the .log file?
situation before: workspace (zip attached) with one Java project, one package oneclass, one class OneClass. 1) click link to eclipse.exe on Windows desktop 2) splash screen shows 3) Java - Eclipse Project SDK shows, view Packages project OneClass expanded one level: package oneclass and JRE_LIB with C:\[...]\rt.jar 4) click to expand package oneclass 5) class source One.java shows 6) doubleclick to open class source One.java 7) editor One.java and Outline show 8) click to set caret in body of class One in empty line 9) caret shows at the beginning of empty line 10) type "// harmless" (without quotes) 11) text shows 12) [...]\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.help.ui\.log is empty 13) click to set caret at end of line "// harmless" 14) enter "[RETURN]a² 15) eclipse freezes and vanishes 16) [...]\eclipse\workspace\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.help.ui\.log is still empty
Works for me, now; might work for David (original reporter). Cause: use of unsupported VM, installed as default VM Solution: use a supported VM Detail: If you have more than one JRE/JDK installed, and if you are not sure, which one is the default, make sure that you start the eclipse application with an explicit -vm flag for a required 1.2 or 1.3 level VM. Example for startup command script: # eclipse_jre13.cmd .\eclipse.exe -vm C:\programme\javasoft\jre\1.3.0_01\bin\javaw.exe Feature request: Eclipse could check for and warn about unsupported VM-version during start-up.
Marked as Invalid because of provided explanation. Pls. log separat DCR for VM probe feature.
