Java error.log

Originally reported at (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1672682).

During normal Eclipse IDE usage it crashed. The Java log, which is attached, shows that it's a problem in the "g_type_check_instance_cast" function from the "libgobject-2.0" library.

Comment 1 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2017-03-14 11:19:33 UTC 
It is highly unlikely that this is a GObject bug; it's far more likely to be an issue with some Eclipse plugin trying to access a GtkWidget instance and only getting garbage.

Please, file this issue with the Eclipse bug tracking system. Even if it's a GObject bug, the Eclipse developers will be able to provide more information to re-open this issue.
