Eclipse crashing

See title. It's crashing with access violation exception. At completely random times - debugging, writing code, trying to create a patch etc.
Is there anything that can be done about that? It's a huge pain, especially as it takes forever to start it up.

Code: Select all: # EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x064122cd, pid=3012, tid=0x00000ec4 # # JRE version: Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (8.0_131-b11) (build 1.8.0_131-b11) # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (25.131-b11 mixed mode windows-x86 ) # Problematic frame: # C [gdiplus.dll+0x22cd] #

Stop using Eclipse.

...seriously, I don't know anyone that still likes Eclipse.

I guess if the problem keeps up I'll try that IntelliJ ...I'm just happy I was able to install one and figure out how it works, not really wishing to try another unless I have to.
But yeah, I'm starting to see why Eclipse is not popular

Yeah, I've heard IntelliJ is good (though it hasn't worked all too well for me, possibly because I'm using OpenJDK though). NetBeans is another good choice in my opinion, it works far better than Eclipse and setting it up to compile Forge is a breeze.

If you haven't tried it recently (the past year or two), they've started bundling their own JREs in with IntelliJ and that's solved a number of issues they were having with it.
