JBoss Developer Studio Crashes shortly after starting

Question

Today I started JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio.exe) again and it crashes almost immediately after starting. Exit code is -1073740781.

I've also reinstalled Devstudio 10.2.0.GA and it doesn't work either.

Workspace does not matter, it also crashes in a new one.

Running it from eclipsec.exe, instead of devstudio.exe, works.

Unfortunately, there's no log file created. Anybody knows what to do to debug this further?

Answer 1

devstudio.exe is just a copy of eclipse.exe. The fact eclipse.exe works and devstudio.exe does not makes me think the problem could be in devstudio.ini file.

My wild guess is -Dosgi.framework.extensions system property could be in charge for jvm crash. Everything else in the message looks sane to me.

Answer 2

Install in standard location (under C:\Program Files) and test again

Answer 3

Could also be a problem with the spaces in your JDK path. Try using the /x (short directory) path, eg.,

• launch CMD.exe from Windows start menu (or other launcher)
• cd c:\
• dir /x
• note thatProgram Files folder is also named PROGRA~1
• use this path as your JDK path when starting Eclipse/devstudio: c:/progra~1/java/jdk1.8.0_111/bin/javaw.exe

You could also try visualvm or jstat -- see Tool for debugging hangs in java application for more details.

The exit code itself could be a -1 followed by the processID of the process running Eclipse/devstudio.
