Each time I exit myEclipse, it terminates with an exception…
I very recently migrated to the JDK 1.4.2_006 (instead of the 1.4.2_004)… It is not a problem,
just worrying and unprofesionnal…

Here below are the last lines from my .metadata/log

Left side are the Windows issues (@work)
Right side are the error message I get after app. 1h00 of work on my Linux (@home)

Try shutting down Eclipse, changing your shortcut that you use to start it by adding the ‘-clean’ command line argument, and restarting Eclipse. Does it stop crashing?

[Thomas SMETS]

Was true ….

On Windows it solved the issue…
So far no more crahes !!!
Is there a point I missed on WHY it started to crash ?

At the moment MyEclipse is stable but still produces that funny exit window….

Any idea to stop that ..?

T,
I’m glad that helped, as far as “Why”, it could be a few things (updated plugins, corrupt cache state, etc.) Likely the first time Eclipse crashed, it wrote out corrupt plugin cache data, and from that point on after you reloaded Eclipse it was throwing Exceptions right and left internally until you forced Eclipse to rebuild the cache state (what -clean does). This is a handy trick when things start getting “weird”.

[Thomas SMETS]

Still does crash on every exits.

T,
Please shut down MyEclipse, go to your log file, erase it. Then start up MyEclipse again. Then shut it down (let it crash) and open your log file, please post the exception here.

ALSO after the step about:
Start up MyEclipse, go to File > Switch Workspace, enter in a new random location (C:\TempWorkspace) and hit Enter, let Eclipse reload. Now Exit, do you still get the exception when it exists or does it work now?

ALSO, try and *redownload* Eclipse 3.0.1 SDK and MyEclipse 3.8.4 for Eclipse 3.0.x. Install them to a brand new locations (C:\Temp\Eclipse and C:\Temp\MyEclipse) make sure to install MyEclipse against the new temporary install. Now start it up, when asked for a workspace just use the new default workspace. Now go to File > Exit, did it exit correctly?

If it didn’t exit correctly with the last step then there has got to be something funky going on. Check your <jdk dir>\jre\lib\ext directory for stray or extra JAR files that may be messing with how the Sun JRE runs.
