A vmarg For Every Occasion

This is for any crazy cats out there that are using Eclipse 3.x on 64bit Linux with the latest J2SE 6 to do Groovy stuff - if Eclipse is crashing alot I just might have the solution for you.
Nothing odd about Eclipse crashing you say (fair) but it just may be that you've run aground on a brand new JVM bug that's got everybody posting those lovely hs_err_pid files as attachments on various forums so that we can all read them in detail later. Now for the great bit - another zany vmarg from the guys in white coats at Sun just may fix your issue:


-XX:CompileCommand=exclude,org/eclipse/core/internal/dtree/DataTreeNode,forwardDeltaWith

Add it to your eclipse vmargs setting in your eclipse.ini, stir twice and repeat as needed.
