I am using MyEclipse 6.6. Also, I started MyEclipse with a -vm pointing to a JDK, rather than a jre.

I created a Java Maven Project. Then I went to Run As -> Maven test. MyEclipse crashed. This happens with any of the Maven actions under Run As.

The resulting error message is in the form of a gray Eclipse dialog box, which I cannot copy to paste here. However the error stated "JVM terminated. Exit code = 1073741819"

I was unable to reproduce this error with my copy of 6.6.

Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste the information here for me.

Can you switch to a new workspace (File > Switch Workspace > Temp), create new project and check if you can reproduce the issue.

Yes, I was able to switch a newMaven project. The same result occurred, MyEclipse/Eclipse crashed and closed, when I attempted a Maven test

nvfellers,
I just checked with the dev team and it seems like we've never seen this behavior. I can only think of suggesting you a new clean install even though the chances are slim it will change anything.

Is there a myeclipse log file I could paste here? Perhaps that might explain the error.

If I run an Ant script form MyEclipse/Eclipse, it also crashes the environment, as it did when I ran the Maven mvn:test. Could there be a problem with the plugin launcher?

Again, a human understandable log.file explanation of the eror would be helpful.

The log file is available under <workspace>/.metadata/.log file.
