STS Crashing Every 1 - 1.5 hours.

[mrbahr2003]

Hi, I am running the latest STS on a Mac and it keeps crashing. It appears as though it may be crashing when I save, but not sure. Here is a stack trace. Please let me know if this is something that is helpful, or there is something else we can look at to help debug the issue. It is very annoying.

Hey!

This looks like a crash in the JVM itself, so I would recommend to update the JDK installation and use the latest available JDK in your case.

I've also seen that you are running the Eclipse 4.2-based version of STS. As long as you don't need additional plugins that require Eclipse 4.2, I would recommend to install and use a fresh STS 3.1.0 for Eclipse 3.8 version. It runs much faster at the moment (due to performance issues with the underlying Eclipse platform).

HTH,
Martin

[mrbahr2003]

Would you recommend staying with 64-bit or will 32-bit be more stable?

Thanks,
Tom

[Martin Lippert]

Hey Tom!

I would recommend staying with 64bit. The recent Java7 runtimes from Oracle for Mac are 64bit only anyway...

HTH,
Martin

[mrbahr2003]

Hi Martin,

I've moved to Eclipse version 3.8/ STS 3.1 as you recommended. I also installed the latest version of Java 7 and am still having the same crashes.

Seems to happen after doing a maven build and then doing a project clean.

Any other suggestions?

Tom

[Martin Lippert]

Hey Tom!

Can you attach a crash report file from one of those crashes using the latest Java7 VM? Maybe we can identify something from there.

-Martin

[mrbahr2003]

Hi Martin,

I've attached a zip file with the stack trace. Please let me know if there is anything else that might help.

I was able to elicit this behavior by doing:

1) Maven build
2) Clean-->Build All

Thanks,
Tom

[Martin Lippert]

Hey Tom!

So you are doing a Maven build on the command line in parallel to the Clean -> Build All in STS? Or after each other?

-Martin

[mrbahr2003]

Hi Martin,

I am doing a:

Run->Maven Build
followed by:
Project->Clean Build All

They are not in parallel. The clean after the Maven build finishes.

I think this is a long standing bug in the JVM where modifying a jar file that is in use will crash the VM.

I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it. This link offers a potential workaround for Eclipse Maven users
