i had installed eclipse 3.0 before i made update to sp1 on WinXP.
after i’ve done it, eclipse hung up trying to building workspace. it exites javaw with exitcode 1073807364.

then i searched for fixes in the internet, installed Eclipse
Workbench using EnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_030801.exe
the problem wasn’t resolved… so i installed sp2 for WinXP. and the problem is still alive…

i’ve seen a few threads user are requesting a fix for similary problems with the same exitcode.

if i stop the building-workspace-process the problem will not appear :), but that can’t be the solution…

what shall i do?

oh, now i’ve found the solution. its quiet simple. i just read the helpfile of eclipse and found the parameters i was looking for.
you have to start eclipse as following:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx256M

Glad you got it figured out and thank you for posting your solution so other users can learn from it.

🙁 i don’t know what happened, but three times i had could start eclipse with this parameters…
after that it was the same as before!

so i’m still asking you what i can do….

1st step is to check your log file for an exception possibly shedding some light on why Eclipse is crashing, it is located in your <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log file.

2nd step is you might want to reinstall the JDK. Applying a service pack to Windows is not a “small change” and you never know what it might be changing on you behind the scenes. Also please note that Eclipse is one of the applications on Microsofts list of “Applications that are effected by SP2”. So far the only report we’ve had is that the designer sometimes loads up blank if Office is installed. We aren’t aware of any crashes.

3rd step is to determine if you have errors on your disk, do a scan disk and make sure its in good order, you also might want to run a memory test (look up memtest for Windows or something similar) to make sure that’s not the problem.

4th step is to see if turning off any real-time virus scanners will fix the problem… because of the intrusive nature of Virus scanners, its POSSIBLE that they could be effecting how your app is running.

5th step is to throw a number of obligatory reboots in the process.

Also how many plugins do you have loaded? Try and monitor the Eclipse process when it starts and see if the memory usage really jumps up high, if it does you likely need to give more memory to Eclipse.

Also most important make sure you hvae the quick fixe for 3.8.1 applied: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-3514.html, be sure to follow the instructions carefully.
