SpringSource Tool Suite 3.7.1 Crashes Repeatedly During Editing

[Dong Liu]

Hi,
I am running STS 3.7.1 64 bit on Windows7 64-bit machine, installed with 64-bit JVM.
I noticed that when I do a long edit without saving, STS will crash, and loss my work.
The screenshot of the crash report is in this screenshot:

This happens in 3.6.0 before.

Also, with STS 3.7.1, I suddenly have problem to launch debugging session. The message is that a parser class cannot be found. After I install anew, that problem disappears.

Hi,

Googling your exit code (from the screenshot) did show up a few issues related to eclipse. But the usual solution of ensuring you are using 64bit eclipse with 64bit VM don't apply here as you are doing that already. Is there a later JDK version than 1.6.0_26 that you could try? Some of the places I found suggested that using patch 20 of 1.6.0 was a way to avoid this problem for some users - so you could grab that older version and run your STS with it (I think you can get it here: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/ja...ve-139210.html ).

> Also, with STS 2.7.1, I suddenly have problem to launch debugging session. The message is that a parser class cannot be found. After I install anew, that problem disappears.

Maybe raise a jira here: https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS with more info, and we'll take a look.
