Eclipse Luna StackOverflow exception at Build Time

I get this SO exception when building the workspace.

!ENTRY org.eclipse.core.jobs 4 2 2014-06-27 16:01:29.327
!MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Rebuilding".
!STACK 0
java.lang.StackOverflowError

       at org.eclipse.jdt.internal.compiler.lookup.ParameterizedTypeBinding.mentionsAny(ParameterizedTypeBinding.java:915)

My workspace has a lot of projects, with a lot of compile errors, which I'm trying to resolve.

Any clues why this might happen?


Windows 8.1
JDK 8 build 05

Eclipse for RCP and RAP Developers
Luna Release (4.4.0) Build id: 20140612-0600

Solution

  • This looks like Eclipse bug 432541 or the duplicate 434800.

    Unfortunately these bugs are still open.

    Update: This bug is now marked as fixed in Eclipse Luna 4.4.1 (and subsequent releases).
