That switches the ENTIRE JVM into interpreted mode. Not really a smart idea. It's better to just disable the function causing the crash.
Also, Fedora and Red Hat maintain their own JVM port, IcedTea. There's a good chance they don't have the same problems (or that it's already fixed). They seem to move faster than Sun when it comes to stuff like this. I realize IcedTea is also in Ubuntu, but it originally comes from the Red Hat folks, so they probably have a more up to date version. They generally do a much better job maintain eclipse and eclipse related software. -- Eclipse crashes due to jvm crash https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174759 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
