Description Anil Musku CLA 2004-08-17 16:25:38 EDT
Hi,

I have line in my source code that looks like the following:
System.out.println("file #" + i + " = " + fileName);

I wanted to change it to:
System.out.println("file #" + i + " = " + fileName + " last modified at 
+ "fileModTime");

However, when the cursor is located just before the paranthesis and I press 
the space-bar a couple of times, the semi-colon vanishes first. Then I enter 
the Inverted-commas and Eclipse is gone... crashed. I have been able to 
reproduce this problem continuously.

If it helps, i use the Tomcat plug-in for Eclipse.

Strangely, this has never happened before.

I just realised that there were a lot of eclipse pop-up windows existing on my 
clipboard (am unable to do a printscreen; hence writing down what these 
windows say):

"
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe
-cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
-exitdata C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -exitdata [PARAM]
-vm C:\WINDOWS\system32\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
"

where PARAM (in each window is as follows):
1. fd8_38
2. 668_38
3. e5c_38
4. f4c_38

Hope that helps!

Regards,
Anil

This is the eclipse-generated error file when it crashed

I had installed BufferflyXML and the windows XP service pack 2 recently.
Am not sure if they affected some settings.

I seem to have figured out the problem.
Once I uninstalled the Win XP SP2, Eclipse works as wonderfully as before.
The *#@ SP2 had been giving a lot of other problems too; but this was serious 
enough to let go!

As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
