Eclipse is instant-crashing with no errors, no warnings whenever Javadocs are loaded.
This happens during:
The crash happens immediately.
Nothing is shown on the screen, nothing is written to the logs, program just stops and vanishes.
Everything restarts just fine, however (workspace does not save, and reverts back to whatever previous state it had) and I can continue working.
Have already tried:
eclipse.ini
file with various options for -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser
, based on various crash bug reports, most of which were extremely old to begin with/confuguration/
and /.metadata/.log
(Unfortunately, there is nothing in any of the logs.)
Installation is totally vanilla. There are no plugins installed, and no configuration changes from the installation defaults.
