Eclipse crashes frequently on Ubuntu 8.04.1 64 bit version. I'm running the 64 bit build of Eclipse (Ganymede-jee) and 64 bit version of JDK 1.5. There's a well known problem with the Eclipse executable launcher on 64 bit Linux systems, but I'm launching from a bash script (through a Custom Application Launcher), per the solution found at

Magical Coding Monkey: Eclipse crash - Ubuntu 8.04 RESOLUTION

Eclipse still crashes, but less often than with the Eclipse executable. There's nothing in the workspace log.

Has anyone found a way to make Eclipse reliable on 64 bit Linux systems?

I'm not married to Ubuntu, but I would like to stay with a 64 bit distro. I can change distros or run the 32 bit versions of Eclipse or the JDK if that will solve this.

Thanks.
