Edit 18.07.2014: I have been checking notes and system setups with my colleagues who all have their Windows XP machines running and use Java 1.7 with no problems whatsoever. Therefore and because Oracle released information regarding java 7 (see: https://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/entry/the_future_of_java_on) on Windows XP, I believe that:
- some freakish software installed in the past or present by me or our automated system causes my Java 7 installation to crash my java applications in around 50% of the cases
- there is some kind of hardware malfunction causing this
- Older versions of the JVM installed by the automatic install system our IT-provider uses cause "cross allergies" with the JDK.
Since i still have to work at least half a year with this machine, i am trying anew if anyone can think of something i might try to shed a light on things.
I also removed the acceptance of the only answer as it is not the correct answer to my problem.
Since switching to Java 1.7, i have a lot of trouble compiling my code at work. The errors that occur all look similiar, all starting with (full stack below):
# EXCEPTION_ILLEGAL_INSTRUCTION (0xc000001d) at pc=0x0098a9dd, pid=4424, tid=492
#
# JRE version: (7.0_55-b13) (build )
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (24.55-b03 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# j java.lang.Thread.registerNatives()V+0
The applications that are to be build do not (all) use native libraries, i.e. even java-only libraries or applications crash with above mentioned code (once out of four compiles, subjectively measured). I have been searching around, mostly finding minecraft-forum-links about this (which i cannot access from work for obvious reasons). This problem occurs on Eclipse (Kepler) and Netbeans (7.4 and 8.0) with ANT or maven.
I have a gut feeling that it might have something to do with our system provider installing jre 1.7.x (current version 1.7.0_55) automatically while i need to install the jdk (1.7.0_55) manually. I renamed the java executables in my system32 directory, which seemed to calm the problem for a while but now it is back.
Does anyone have an idea what I should check next? And: I apologize in advance if you feel that this might not be the right forum for this question. I thought if ANYONE ever encountered this problem, it would be us devs. Correct me if i am wrong.
