Hi there!
I just installed Eclipse Helios on a fresh installation of openSUSE 11.4 (32 bits), and when I stop the cursor over any class name or method name in a source file, Eclipse exits unexpectedly.
When I start Eclipse again, it starts as usually… But again, when I stop the cursor over any class name or method name in a source file, Eclipse exits again.
Note: I have installed jdk 1.6 and NVIDIA 173.14.28 for my FX5500 video board. I use KDE desktop environment installed from openSuse 11.4 DVD. (No extra applications.)
Now, I had to re install openSUSE 11.3 in order to work with Eclipse again.

It is a problem: How can we help you to solve your problem if you no longer
have the system where the problem appears? And hence cannot give us more
detailed information.
I only can tell you that on my eeepc 1201n (which is not yet in the footer)
with os 11.4, gnome 2.32, 64 bit and using eclipse helios sr2 there is no
problem at all (at least not until now). So it is a bit difficult to tell
from a system that works what might be the reason why another system does
not work with the same opensuse version and which does no longer exist since
you downgraded it.

Martin:
All data you gave me are valuable data.
For example: My Eclipse Helios version was not SR2 and openSUSE 11.4 was 32 bits with KDE desktop environment.
I understand you.
But I trying to find out if the problem was on my particular installation/environment.
If somebody tried the same environment (openSuse 11.4 32 bits with KDE desktop) and Eclipse Helios SR2 with good results, I’d again try to re install 11.4 and test again.
But that is too much work with my development environment (certain java version + apache httpd + apache tomcat + oracle + setting all options) that I need to work, if I go forward an go back every day.
I know that does not help you much so I hope someone jumps in who has a
similar installation as yours (32 bit and kde, I think kde or gnome is
unrelated but who knows) and can give advise.
I had a somewhat similar problem with helios on my notebook in the company
which I thought was an eclipse problem but it was not. It was one of the
plugins (in my case the subclipse plugin). The solution was then to change
some library via yast to another version (do not remeber which).
Since you seem to have a lot of plugins installed as far as I understand,
you should consider also the possibility that it is one of the plugins (if
the error did not happen before you installed the plugins).
Just one suggestion. If nobody has an idea what might be the reason for the
problem, you can do the following:
If your system is powerfull enough or you can use a pc for that, install
11.4 in a virtual machine (vbox or vmware), set your environment up with
eclipse helios sr2 and check if it works.
At least you can even if it does not work find info about the crash post it
here or google for it and probably the solution will be as simple as
changing one of the conflicting libs in the system.
I know this is maybe a lot of work depending on your environment, but that
is what I need to do to ensure that my development notebook works before I
upgrade it, since it has also a somewhat complicated setup.

Hi!
I installed opensuse 11.4 and I encountered the same problem.
I have eclipse JEE Helios SR1 running with java-1_6_0-sun-devel & java-1_6_0-sun.
Whenever I try to autocomplete a package name with CTRL+SPACE, eclipse crashes and BugDaddy shows up asking me if I want to save the bug report.(link to the report)
I would suggest you try a bit older version of Eclipse. If you have enough time, try to get Classic. If that works, probably is something with Java package.
I was advising you before and will advise you again: DO NOT USE Eclipse FROM REPOSITORIES
I find myself expirienced in this matter as I am not esporadic Eclipse user, but I work in it every day for last 3 years. Simply, do not use eclipse from repo.
@malcomlewis, I am sorry, I never had time for problems. Though I tried several times, I never made Adobe Flex to work in repo’s eclipse, so I have given up. However, this was the test:
install, try, not working (no successful compilation)
(2 min after) remove eclipse
download from eclipse site (or use backup eclipse)
unpack and start working.
Since working with adobe flex (flash builder) professionally, I had no time to loose. Lost time == lost money.
