-----------------------------------------------------------

I have personally witnessed this on Win7_64, but based on other reports it appears to affect WinVista_64 and Win7_32, leading me to believe it affects WinVista_32 too, despite the cryptic comments above, "I sucessfully tested with Windows Vista 32b" [sic]. (Does that mean tested and witnessed the crash, or couldn't reproduce?)

The fix is here:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/attachment.cgi?id=193993&action=diff

... which appears to affect all win32 Eclipse-based apps, and therefore might affect XP too, since it's Eclipse 3.6.2 that's the problem, not specifically the version (or arch) of Windows.

Might as well just document it like this:

{code}
If installing JBDS 4 from the win32 installer, please avoid using any feature or plugin which involves the SWT TaskBar, 
as this will crash JBDS. This includes Mylyn 3.5 or later, as well as Mylyn integrations for Subclipse & eGit. If 
installing Subclipse or eGit be sure to NOT install the Mylyn integration or you'll be bitten in the ass by this problem 
as soon as you restart post-installation.

You could also try using Fedora, RHEL, any other Linux or OSX operating system, for which this problem does not occur. 
{code}

:D See also the Workarounds posted above.

> I had installed the 4.0GA version of Jboss Dev Studio, created a sample project.  Later I restarted the Studio after attempting to install a few plugins (I believe Subclipse).
>  
> Every time afterwards, it would launch the studio , the UI would launch with code windows, and then the studio would crash to desktop in less than a second afterwards.
> I do have dump eclipse files that can be attached to this issues.
> Note:  I am able to open the same workspace without any issues using the STS eclipse IDE.
