I have been using Aptana for years now, and have become accustom to its many features.
It has been reliable up until I upgraded from Xubuntu 13.04 to 14.04.
Now it crashes ever 5 or so minutes. I can't get work done. No error appears and the screen just disappears. I have to create my SFTP connections all over again each time i restart it.
I have looked in ~/Aptana Workspace/.metadata/.log but it does not have any information about why it is crashing.
If this means anything, 99% of my work is done on remote servers.
When Aptana sits with no files open it seems to stay open indefinitely.
I am using 3.4.2 standa alone on Xubuntu 14.04 64-bit with openjdk-7. My system ram is currently at 31% (about 2.4GB) and htop's load average is 1.06 0.76 0.64 (I read most of the crashes are related to aptana loading up the memory, however it does not look like that here...)
If there is any logs I can post I will be happy to send them
EDIT Here is my .log file after the latest crash:

I have tried purging anything associated with Aptana and Eclipse, as well as OpenJDK, and reinstalling but still doing the same.
I also checked
sudo update-alternatives --config java
Here is the output:
There are 2 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).
Selection Path Priority Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1071 auto mode
1 /usr/bin/gij-4.8 1048 manual mode
2 /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java 1071 manual mode
Another Edit I removed OpenJDK and installed oracle java, no change
