I run Eclipse 3.2.1 and MyEclipse 5.1 GA for quite a while on Fedora Core 5 Linux. Up to Sun JDK 1.5 Update 9, this worked reasonably well; except the JSP design view (which is a known problem), everything is ok, even the embedded Web browser (Firefox 1.5.0.9) is fine.

After upgrading to Sun JDK 1.5 Update 10, suddently Eclipse and MyEclipse became very unstable. It actually crashes when selecting “Windows -> Web Browser” before the sub menu behind this menu point gets displayed.

Reverting back to JDK 1.5 Update 9 brings back stable operations. Are there any known problems with JDK 1.5.0 Update 10 on Linux?

Thank you for the report, we were not aware of any major outstanding problems with the 1.5.0_10 release on Linux, but I will certainly file a bug for us to investigate this.

hgschmie,

I have tried JDK 1.5.0_10 on Ububtu Dapper and it works fine.

I’m not sure what can be problem if you have same settings (same firefox build frist of all), but JDK 1.5.0_10 is not main cause.
Could you send files starting with hs_err_pidXXX.log (XXX is some number) (This files are in your home directory and JVM make this files when crash happen) and configuration detals and Error log view from Help>About Eclipse SDK>Configuration Details

Thanks,
