Description Michael Moser CLA 2004-11-30 05:48:27 EST 
We have a .jar file here (the .jarfile of hell! :-) ), which if listed on a 
project's classpath causes eclipse to crash - and not only eclipse but 
apparently even the VM (so maybe this bug should be forwarded to the VM 
authors - please advise)!

I checked this with Sun's VM 1.4.2 and with IBM's VM 1.4.2 - in both cases 
eclipse dies with the follwing message:

---------------------------------
A virtual machine error has occured. 
You are recommended to exit the workbench.
Subsequent errors may happen and may terminate the workbench without warning.
See the .log for more details.

Do you want to exit the workbench?

[Yes] [No]
---------------------------------

I can provide the .log file as well as the offending .jar file - just let me 
know.

If bugzilla would allow me to attach files I would have attached the two right 
away...

Could you mail these files to me directly ?
Comment 3 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-11-30 08:57:37 EST 
From reporter:
it seems, that the defect .jar file was created by erroneously checking it into
our CVS repository as "ASCII" (instead of binary). So CVS probably replaced CRLF
by CR and maybe also any tags (if it found such in the binary file). But of
course accessing such a file shouldn't kill the VM... Probably some bug in the
native .zip file handling...
Comment 4 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-11-30 12:57:00 EST 
We need to add check for error while reading a corrupted zip file.
Comment 5 Olivier Thomann CLA 2004-11-30 13:22:55 EST 
We cannot catch this case, because it throws an InternalError. We should never
catch an InternalError.
Closing as a VM bug.
