Sorry, I can't find the core dump on my system.

[iloveeclipse]

Please next time it crashes and creates core dump, do this below and attach the backtrace generated by gdb:

gdb /path/to/your/core/file
bt

There is a mismatch in the provided data. The crash file says it was using Oracle GraalVM 21.0.2+13.1 but you mentioned you should use Eclipse on Java 17?

1. To sort out the root cause, please don't use GraalVM but a "regular" JVM.
2. Please also attach all swt system properties reported by your Eclipse in the Help -> About -> Installation Details -> Configuration dialog (filter it by typing "swt").
3. Try to find a pattern how to bring Eclipse to crash, usually it is not really random but some specific steps that cause the crash.

[alfsch]

Removed wrong java version, copy paste accident.... I only have the graalvm, need to do some setup changes to use another vm, which one is the prefered one?

Eclispe is running stable when launching via desktop file with the following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Eclipse IDE
Exec=env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 /home/alfred.schmid/Development/eclipse/eclipse/eclipse %u
Type=Application
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/eclipse+command;x-scheme-handler/eclipse+mpc;
Comment=Eclipse with GraalVM
Terminal=false
Icon=/home/alfred.schmid/Development/eclipse/eclipse/icon.xpm

It seems that setting the environment variable WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 the issue is mitgated.

I got this hint from diskussions in #158

With current ubuntu 22.04 and Eclipse Version: 2024-06 (4.32.0) Build id: 20240606-1231 the problem is fixed for me. I use the following desktop entry now:
