Re: Is Java 6 really ready?

??? This doesn't make it clear where the problem is.  The code reference is in SWT - so the bug could be in SWT.  Further, how is "out of memory" a problem with Java?  Maybe your application requires more memory and you have to specify a bigger heap??

That looks like a known Eclipse bug - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=203325
