I’ve been using 2014 for some time, but recently it has been crashing every hour or so. I’m attaching the log from the latest crash

stacey11,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue. Thank you for the log file. The dev team is looking into it. They will get back to you soon.

Thanks for your patience.

stacey,

Unfortunately, can’t see anything in this log that would explain a crash.

1) What happens, exactly? Does the IDE just disappear leaving you with (or without) a JVM dialog box? Or does something else happen?

2) Are there any particular actions that cause it to crash that you’ve noticed – like opening an editor, invoking an action, etc. or or does it just crash at random?

3) Have you added any plugins to your environment recently? Any external plugins at all or is this a stock MyEclipse install?

4) Have you added any new projects to your workspace?

5) Any changes to your OS or environment recently – I’m assuming this is Linux, what distribution and version?

6) Memory related crashes (not sure this is one) can typically be fixed by allocating more memory to MyEclipse. You can edit the myeclipse.ini file and try increasing the amount of memory to see if that fixes the issue.

Hope this helps.

ME just goes away. If I had glassfish running, it remains running.

Happens at random

I use plugins all the time, but none have been added in the last few months.

4) Have you added any new projects to your workspace?

No

5) Any changes to your OS or environment recently – I’m assuming this is Linux, what distribution and version?

Ubuntu 14.0.1

Already using
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=768m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m

Should that be higher?

Hope this helps.

Stacey,

Unfortunately no clues in your responses. Given no apparent changes, why MyEclipse would suddenly begin to crash is surprising.

Could you try increasing your heap size (Xmx) beyond 768m? Also, I’m not sure we need that high max perm size (we typically run with around 300) – unless you specifically need this.

The only other option I could think of is for you to switch to a new workspace temporarily, import the project that you work with and see if you hit the crash here too. (I realize this may not be a trivial step)

If you want, you could also give MyEclipse 2015 a try as well.

Please keep us posted.
