Eclipse crashes when coding in java. Exit code=-1073740771 - eclipse

I've downloaded the Android ADT bundle so that I can learn to code Android applications. I also downloaded every package on the SDK manager.
Unfortunately, when I try to code anything in Java Eclipse crashes upon opening content assist.
Basically, when I type the dot operator the content assist box opens and suggests methods as per the norm. However, when I type anything after this point the content assist box tries to open the accompanying window with API information about the method I'm trying to invoke. At this point Eclipse crashes, without fully loading the API window.
If I don't specify the -vm argument in the eclipse.ini file the windows error window says that 'Java(TM) platform SE binary has stopped working' and gives me an error window afterwards as follows: http://i.imgur.com/7bwaB52.png
If I do specify the -vm argument(and I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly) the windows error window say that 'eclipse.exe has stopped working' and does not give any more information.
Having tried several things and having looked everywhere I'm stumped.

Windows Update KB4463318 has solved this issue.

Eclipse #ifdef error using JNI, Android NDK and Vuforia

With Vuforia's ImageTargets sample application, I tried using OpenGL ES 1.1 by setting USE_OPENGL_ES_1_1 to true in jni/Android.mk and uncommenting and changing the corresponding line in AndroidManifest.xml (). After converting the project so that it has a C++ perspective and associating ndk-build and the proper include directories, I could successfully run the application on my Android device.
However, the problem is that once I open up jni/ImageTargets.cpp, I get several errors from Eclipse, all from places where OpenGL ES 2.0 code would execute, the first one being:
Description Resource Path Location Type Symbol 'vertexHandle' could
not be resolved ImageTargets.cpp /ImageTargets/jni line 402 Semantic
Error
Sure enough, vertexHandle is defined at the top of the ImageTargets.cpp, inside the "#ifdef USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0" block. Because USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0 is not defined (per Android.mk), the code should be able to compile successfully, and sure enough, ndk-build does not report any problems. So it seems that only Eclipse reports the problems and when I run the project, Eclipse says, "Your project contains error(s), please fix them before running your application." And thus, I cannot run my application anymore. In a sense, it's kind of strange that this never occurred until I opened ImageTargets.cpp and Eclipse "discovered" the errors.
The best work-around I've found so far is to just delete or comment out those lines (that should not be causing problems because USE_OPENGL_ES_2_0 is not supposed to be defined)... Is there a better way to deal with this problem? Did I miss a setting in Eclipse that should solve this?
I've found a solution: go to the project properties -> C/C++ Build -> Discovery Options -> Check "Automate discovery of paths and symbols"

How to run GWT RequestFactory Validation Tool on Eclipse project

I've got a Android AppEngine Connected Project I'm trying to build using GWT2.4 RequestFactory and Objectify on my Eclipse IDE.
Apparently I need to run the RequestFactory Validation Tool because I'm using ServiceName and ProxyForName annotations (these are required especially when working on the Android client side). My problem is the Eclipse can't validate it and the solution provided at http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/wiki/RequestFactoryInterfaceValidation#IDE_configuration is enough to make me rip my eyes out.
Since I'm working on a Windows machine, the shell script provided is not very useful. Trying to run Validation Tool from a cmd propt returns the error message:"This tool must be run with a JDK, not a JRE"
Can someone explain how this Tool is supposed to be run? Is there a way to use it as an External Tool in eclipse?
Normally if you follow carefully the instructions in the link you show, and run the GWT Development Mode from Eclipse, the Validation should be done automatically at the time you access the development URL with your browser.
For the record, I've actually had some problems with it, but launching the application several times maked it work.
Well, I ran into the same problem as well. When I tried annotation processing (under Java Compiler-> Annotation processing )was being disabled. So RequestFactoryDeobfuscatorBuilder was not being generated. Try enabling that and rebuilding your project.
I've just recovered from two days of hunting this bug down in a project that used to run validation properly but stopped.
In my case I had a new-ish generic BaseRequestContext and a specific sub-interface that extended it. My parent interface declared a method that didn't match the Locator's exactly (e.g. getThing(T) vs get(T)) and this wasn't reported as an error but did stop the validation tool from completing.
Apt is also removed in Java 8 : http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/117 . So beware.
Switching back to Java 7 will fix the issue if you are using Java 8.
I understood why the error happens sometimes in a project: the compiler was complaining it cannot find the directory .apt . But when I tried to create it manually it was not possible (under windows). I think the validation tool mutes the exception of not being able to create the directory: try renaming .apt in your validation tool calls (do a text search in your project)

Eclipse for php on Mac OSX 10.5: "Animation Start" error

I am having a terrible time getting Eclipse with php/pdt installed on my older 2006 MacBook running 10.5.8.
I have MAMP installed and running php 5.3.5. That works fine. The zend debugger information shows up correctly in phpinfo() and I have dummy.php in the correct location. 127.0.0.1 is allowed in the config file.
I have eclipse itself installed. I also have tried "Eclipse for php Developers" v3.0.2.
Both installations return errors when I try and run or debug a script. I am trying to use Zend Debugger.
The error is:
"Animation Start has encountered a problem". An Internal error has occurred.
An internal error has occurred.
java.lang.NullPointerException
I have the php executable set as
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin/php (CLI)
Suggestions?
The problem with the "Animation Start has encountered a problem" error dialog doesn't have to do with the php scripts but rather is just an UI quirk/error that is irritating and is likely because of a mis-configured dock:icon property on the eclipse.ini (or whatever eclipse product the zend product uses).
Find the root executable that launches eclipse-based product.
Open up the application executable (.app) package contents
Go to the Contents/MacOS/ folder
Edit the ini file
Make sure that you have this line correctly specificed:
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/<NameofIconFile>.icns
Then restart eclipse/zend
Now you should be able to invoke scripts and not see that invalid error dialog.
You can uncheck "launch in background" in the "common" tab of debug/run configuration.
Ok, I wanted to simply comment on my "success", following gamerson's answer with a slight adaptation... But it seems like I don't have enough "rep" to do that yet, so here goes ;-)
I had this annoying issue for a little while, and also had a second copy of eclipse for java installed on my macbook. It seems like my eclipse pdt did not contain any .icns files (I did a full recursive search of the dir with "find ."... So I thought, I'll copy it from that other eclipse app I have. And I made sure the ini config file (mentioned by gamerson) had the correct path. And voila! No more of that annoying error popup in eclipse, and also the dock where I had a link to the app now has a nice icon (which before was some ugly "generic" icon with pencils and paper, that all makes sense now). Only downside is that I now have two similar dock icons (the PDT one and the Java one lol) but that is a totally minor annoyance. I guess I could "hack" my dock and give it a funky icon while at it ;-)
Thanks internets!

Type Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: wrapper was not properly loaded first

I have had all sorts of bizarre errors, like the one in the title, happen when I am using the Android SDK and AVD Manager with Eclipse. Generally I just unplug the phone and plug it back in or close and reopen Eclipse but it is frustrating. Apparently Conversion to Dalvik format failed: Unable to execute dex: wrapper was not properly loaded first doesn't allow me to compile my app, i think it is because I was trying to run the emulator with some suggestions from emulator is so slow to no avail. thought i should add im running eclipse 3.5.2 on Ubuntu 11.04
Just restart the eclipse and run the project. The error arises while installing a new target version. After completion of the installation it will get fix automatically. Else restart eclipse.
I met with the same error on my Macbook. I tried one of the methods explained at this link http://techmologies.blogspot.com/2009/05/conversion-to-dalvik-format-failed-with_06.html and solved the problem.
Put the following 2 lines in the eclipse.ini file:
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\bin\javaw.exe
Please modify the 2nd line according to the actual situation.
If you have upgraded your SDK, and if you have not updated ADT plugin it will show this error. Please check it once by updating ADT plugin
I made a new installation of Eclipse in different folder(with the same SDK folder) and imported the code to the workspace & it started to work again.

Vaadin - GWT error "module xxx may need to be recompiled

I'm ramping up on Vaadin and I'm getting this javascript alert whenever I try and run the demo apps.
GWT module 'com.vaadin.terminal.gwt.DefaultWidgetSet' may need to be recompiled
I've tried cleaning the project to no avail.
As I said, I'm ramping up so I'm sure there's some simple step I'm missing or a concept I haven't grasped.
I don't know anything about Vaadin, but there's a more general context in which this error occurs:
So long as you're testing in Eclipse, the dynamic coding of your app is still real Java coding being run in a JVM. This coding is made available through debugger that's accessible via a socket. You get a URL that looks like this:
http://127.0.0.1:8888/MyApp.html?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997
with this codesvr thing being your eclipse-hosted debugger process for your Java code.
Before your app can run standalone, GWT has to translate your Java code to JavaScript; separate versions of the code are produced for each browser type (Firefox, WebKit, Opera, ...) and language that you want to support. Only once this is done can you access your app the usual way via
http://127.0.0.1:8888/MyApp.html
After weeks of running my app only in Eclipse, I'd managed to forget about the compiling-for-browsers step and wondered about the message. The way to fire up the compiler, if you're not using the Ant task, is to hit Google|GWT Compile in the project's context menu. That done, the JS in your app gets fleshed out and your app can run without Java on the client side.
And of course the message goes away.
It is a warning not an error. Does the app work? Otherwise you have to recompile the Vaadin widgetset. These might help too: http://vaadin.com/directory/help/using-vaadin-add-ons
Often this message meens:
you're missing the ?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997 parameter in the URL (or have misspelled it).
your module uses the xs linker <add-linker name="xs" />. This is a known limitation and will be fixed in the future: Issue 4232: Allow Development Mode to work with XS Linker
You may need to clear the browser cache. It is possible that the compiled js that the browser is using is not the js that has most recently been compiled.
In Chrome you can see if the cached js is being used in the developer tools windows (ctrl + shift + i). In the size column it will say (from cache) instead of the actual size. You can then right click and clear the browser cache. ctrl + r to reload and the error should be gone.
Carl Smotricz is absolutely right.
Just Cleaning and Build Project on the topmost menu doesn't work.
You must use "Google | GWT Compile" on the context menu generated when right-clicking on your GWT project, prior to deployment.
The error may not be about not-adding "?gwt.codesvr=127.0.0.1:9997" at the end of host web page if he or she tried to deploy the GWT-based webapp on WAS external to Eclipse.
Server restart did the job for me.
I had tried clearing cache, clean and rebuild .. but i was still getting the same warning message.
Server restart made it reload all the stull from the latest compiled war.
It was a hit and trial and i am glad it worked :) :)
