eclipse crashes on Lion os x

Eclipse seems to be crashing all the time since I've upgraded to the Mac OS X Lion. The error I keep getting is stackoverflow.

enter image description here

I am using eclipse version: 1.3.1.20100916-1202 and have an open Android project at the moment of the crash. Where do I find the log file? What could be causing the crash?

I don't know enough about what has changed in Lion to determine the cause of the crash. But, here's how to find the logfile:

  • Window > Show View > PDE Runtime > Error Log. This gives you a view with the contents of the .log file.
  • Help > About Eclipse Platform > Configuration Details. This prints out a great number of details about the environment and also concatenates the .log file. Great for including in a bug report.
  • Locate the file yourself, see workspace/.metadata/.log.
  • Start Eclipse using -consoleLog. This will print the messages that normally go to the .log file in the enclosing shell/command window.
