Eclipse crashing
There seems to be a very hot bug that is affecting many people running Eclipse on Linux/AMD64 machines. While I'm working on this bug, there is a better workaround then just reverting to the interpreter. Create the following file in your Eclipse directory:


.hotspot_compiler

With the contents of:


exclude org/eclipse/jdt/internal/compiler/parser/Scanner optimizedCurrentTokenSource3

exclude org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/util/CommentRecorderScanner recordComment

Since its a dot file, it'll be hidden from ls, etc so remember to remove it when I do get this fixed

Performance should be much better than the interpreter.

Can you enter a posting describing the what the exclude directive in .hotspot_compiler file does ? Is there any documentation on .hotspot_compiler file ?

I think the supreme work around is switching to NetBeans where you enjoy true cross platform independence and fully enjoy 64-bit Java :-) I use the exact same distribution of NetBeans across 3 different OS's on my laptop. Win XP 64-bit, Ubuntu Linux 64-bit and Solaris 11 x86 64-bit. Of course, my favorite is Solaris.
