I am facing this problem from past few days.
At first, MyEclipse use to give error that I need to close down or it will close without any warning.
Now, it closes abruptly without any warning.

I am using Windows 7, Intel Core i5-2410M @ 2.30GHz, 4GB RAM.

MyEclipse for Spring
Version: 10.0.0
Build ID: 10.0.0 Build 7 (111109_1440)

Following is myeclipseforspring.ini file.

#utf8 (do not remove)

–launcher.library

AujanIndustries,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you please answer some more questions for us ?

1. Can you please switch to a new workspace and see if the issue persists to rule out a corrupted workspace issue ?

2. Can you please update to MyEclipse for Spring 10.6 which is the latest version to take advantage of several fixes and enhancements we made since 10.0 version ?

Go to MyEclipse configuration center > Software tab, select “MyEclipse for Spring 10.7” under software updates available section, click on Apply changes and follow the wizard. After updating, can you please open MyEclipse in a new workspace and import your existing projects into new workspace.

Alternatively you can download the latest MyEclipse for Spring 10.6 installer and install it to a different location alongside your existing ME4S 10.0 installation. Here is the link for download : http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download10_7_1&version=ME4S

If the issue persists, please share the contents of the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log to help us investigate further.

Also attach a screenshot of the warning message if you see one before the shutdown to help us get a visual.

Let us know how it works for you.

Tried first switching to new workspace.
When this option did not work updated MyEclipse to latest version through MyEclipse Configuration center. Then created one more new workspace.
Still the problem persists.
Only somewhat better that it gives atleast message before exiting.
Attached is screen shot and .log file.
Cannot attach log file with .log extension hence attaching as text file.

AujanIndustries ,

Thank you for the log file.

1. Are you on a Windows 7 32 bit/64 bit machine ? Is the MyEclipse for Spring a 32 bit/64 bit install ?

2. Do you have a lot of visual designers open at the same time? Ex: JSP file opened with MyEclipse Visual JSP Designer editor. Are there too many files opened in the IDE at the time of crash?

3. I noticed you set your memory settings at 1024, do you actually need that much memory – do you have very large or many projects in your workspace? In some cases where the value is too high, it could be silently ignored by the VM, you could try taking Xmx / Xms down to 768m if you don’t really need 1024.

4.There are suggestions that it might be associated with memory leaks. Could you turn on the heap status display? MyEclipse->Utilities->Show Heap Status. Keep an eye on it to see if the used memory keeps rising when running any code. If you have code you suspect of memory leaks, you could try profiling it.

Other suggestions about the cause include the possibility of extensive use of graphical controls. I don’t think you have rich client programs but maybe you often have a lot of graphical designers open at the same time? You could try opening the Windows Task Manager, going to View->Select Columns and selecting User Object and GDI Objects. See if they get very numerous leading up to a crash.

By upgrading RAM to 8 gb and with following settings, the occurrence of this issue is reduced.
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m

If the values kept lower than this, then it runs very slow especially while opening jsp.

AujanIndustries,

Glad that the issue is resolved. If you are working with a large workspace, you need more memory. You could try increasing your heap beyond 768m and see if that improves the performance.

We have released MyEclipse for Spring 2013 SR2 recently. I suggest you give it a try. You can install it alongside your current MyEclipse for Spring 10.x.
Here is the link for download : http://www.myeclipseide.com/index.php?name=Recommend_Us&req=Download&version=ME4S

Let us know if you see any issues.

I seem to have a similar problem… I’ve been using 2013 for some time on Ubuntu 13.04 with no problems and have just upgraded to 14.04, so I’m sure that somewhere in the background a lot has changed. However, the end result is that the workbench disappears unpredictably during source ediitting.
The following vmargs are set…
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
and I’m running
Version: 2013 SR1
Build id: 11.0.1-20130621

Advice please.
