Eclipse crash on startup: startJavaVM - java-7

I have an Eclipse Kepler installed and I use it for monthes, with a JDK 7u65 installed. I recently tried to install a JDK 7u67 which failed (don't know why). It is the same when trying to install a JRE 7u67. I then removed the folder of the JDK 7u67.
At startup, Eclipse is telling me the following:
To resolve this, I tried to tweak my eclipse.ini (just added -vm arg and its value):
-vm
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.7.0_65.jdk/Contents/Home/jre/bin/java
-startup

As a result, Eclipse just crashes. Here is an extract of the crashlog.

Xcode 12.3 constantly crashes after update

I wanted to update Xcode to 12.3, but there wasn't enough space for that on my MacBook, so I downloaded Xcode 12.3 from developer.apple.com, and unarchived the .xip file on an external SSD. After that, I moved Xcode back to the laptop, and now when I want to launch Xcode (so when I launch the app, not a particular project!) it crashes with the following log:

I've tried everything I could find online:
restart Mac (in safe mode)
update macOS to Big Sur 11.1
reinstall Xcode Command Line Tools
clear derived data
clear all Xcode associated files (excepting the app itself) using AppCleaner
Do you have any idea on how I can fix this?
By the way, isn't it strange that the file that gives ASSERTION FAILURE doesn't even exist on my computer?
I somehow managed to free up around 40 GB on my MacBook, so I was able to download Xcode from App Store. And it seems like this was a "cleaner" install, stopping Xcode from crashing.

Eclipse RCP Development - Slowness during debug

I have been using Eclipse (Oxygen or 4.7) to build an Eclipse RCP App in MacOs Sierra.
When I stop the execution with a breakpoint, IDE is really slow. After moments, it logs following statements to error console.
Have you guys seen this? Any workaround to overcome this?

I had the same issue, then I have bumped up to 10.13.1 (17B48), MacOS High Sierra. Now the performance is smooth as before. I hope this solves your problem too.

Xcode 6.3: Crash while archiving a project

I have just got Xcode 6.3 installed and immediately receiving a Xcode crash while archiving a project.
And actually, I don't know how to proceed. I cannot push my product to iTunes Connect.
I am also checking if I can roll back to Xcode 6.2.

Seems like the problem is when you have an old project with some subprojects under source control while the main one is not.
I have removed from Xcode Preferences source control completely, and it seems did the trick - now archiving works.
To remove your project from Source Control press command+, (or select Preferences from main menu) -> Source Control and uncheck all parameters.
I am following this issue in the developer forums and seems like Apple is aware of the issues.
New projects are not affected.
EDIT FOR NEW VERSION OF XCODE (6.3.1)
After installing new version of Xcode yesterday I have enabled Source Control and it works now correctly. Below is my version now:
Here is a visual that maybe of assistance!
I solved this crashing bug with the following steps:
Remove Xcode.app (throw it in the Trash or remove it via Launchpad)
Restart your Mac
Reinstall Xcode 6.3 via the Mac App Store
Everything is now back to normal.
My XCode project (which contains multiple sub projects) is entirely unstable in XCode 6.3. XCode is crashing at random when I'm working with it - never mind just achieving! I installed 6.2 side-by-side with 6.3 just to have a fallback option (Actually I have like 4 versions of XCode installed!). Here's an SO link to download full prior versions:

Xcode crash after interface building?

Has anyone had problems with Xcode 4.3.3 crashing on OSX Lion (10.7.4)? I am attempting to program a GUI interface and everything was perfect until I opened it to continue working on it today. This file will end up being an expert system for medical diagnosis.
A zip file is located here (http://www.mediafire.com/?14slv9xhb45214t) with all of the program files. Haven't gotten very far besides designing the interface.
I included the crash report below as well.

Xcode crashes can be caused by a corrupt project file. This has happened to me a couple of times.
Xcode seems intolerant of any errors, and won't even let you get to version control.
If you are using version control you could try repairing this at the command line.
You might want to recreate your project. You should be able to copy your source files and .XIB into a new project.

Internal Error building a FireBReath Plugin with XCODE 4.2

Hello recently I reinstalled my mac os x machine I have the following configuration:
1. Mac Os x Snow Leopard 10.6.8
2. Xcode 4.2 (4C199) for snow leopard with sdk 10.6
3. Firebreath project 1.6
4. CMAKE 2.8-8
I have created a plugIn test project,after run the prepmac.sh command everything is built ok. last I open it with XCODE and start the Build process.
after a 10 minutes a Crash error is generated in the process.
A message appears: Internal Error, XCODE encountered an internal logic error.

I can't get that the Building process works fine. So I decided to post here looking for help.
I have to mention that I tested the same project in another machine with MAC OS X Lion and it worked perfect.
This is less of an answer and more of a workaround; XCode 4 seems to use a ridiculously large amount of memory on any project that uses boost which includes FireBreath projects. try building from the command line with:
cmake --build path/to/build/
See if that works.
