[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] Re: RCP app crash with splash problem on Coc

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

See this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=277064

This is a crash during error handling.  That is, your application had 
some other problem and was in the process of shutting down, and then we 
crashed trying to close the splash screen.  If this crash did not occur, 
then you would get an error message telling you to look in your log files.

If you specify -nosplash, you should then see the real error that is 
stopping your application.  Also see comment #18 in that bug which has a 
code change you can do in your application to avoid this.
