probably sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun will make your eclipse work fine in ubuntu 8.04 .It worked for me

Thanks for posting this, it fixed the problems with the java process crashing in Eclipse on Ubuntu 8.10. I used “java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.16″ in the path though since that was the version that got installed from the repository now.

Works perfectly. No more crashing.

Thank you for this excellent solution! I wasted a great deal of time with this several months ago and never could get a good solution. So, I reverted to an earlier version of Ubunto (7.10) and that seemed to work fine with the Eclipse that I had. Now I am running 8.04 again, and ran into the same problem all over again.

Only this time, I found your “simple” solution, and everything seems to be working well.

Thanks again for posting this!

Well,
If you have Hardy 64bits, then there’s a bug in the JVM… It was addressed as in the post at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=771451

Just add the following line to the eclipse.ini

-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith

It works like a charm…

Thanks!

My Eclipse was crashing intermittently for the last couple of weeks, and I was too lazy to look into it..
Now when I decided it was too much to bear, I came across this post and solved it in 5 minutes

Hi, I am on the road right now, so will have a look as soon as I’m back home, but my first guess would be to check how you start eclipse, assume the run.sh. Adopt this one to use the specific JVM. Let me know any results, will get back soon.

I dont have startup.jar. You must have installed eclipse through synaptic. I downloaded eclipse from the website, unzipped and began using it. Do you have any idea about how to fix the problem in such installations?
