Here is your relief for the problem :

I have a problem of running different versions of STS this morning, the application crash with the similar way as the question did.

Excerpt of my log file.

A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#a
#  SIGSEGV (0xb) at pc=0x00007f459db082a1, pid=4577, tid=139939015632640
#
# JRE version: 6.0_30-b12
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 
(20.5-b03 mixed mode linux-amd64 compressed oops)
# Problematic frame:
# C  [libsoup-2.4.so.1+0x6c2a1]  short+0x11

note that exception occured at # C [libsoup-2.4.so.1+0x6c2a1] short+0x11

Okay then little below the line:

R9 =0x00007f461829e550:  in /usr/share/java/jdk1.6.0_30/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so at 0x00007f4617819000

This line tells you where the actual bug or crash is to investigate more on this crash issue please use below links to see more, but let's continue the crash investigation and how I resolved it and the novelty of this bug :)

links are :

a fATAL ERROR JAVA THIS ONE IS GREAT LOTS OF USER!

a fATAL ERROR JAVA 2

Okay, after that here's what I found out to casue this case and why it happens as general advise.

1. Most of the time, check that if you have installed, updated recently on Ubunu and Windows there are libraries like libsoup in linux which were the casuse of my crash.

2. Check also for a new hardware problem and try to investigate the Logfile which STS or Java generated and also syslog in linux by

   tail - f /var/lib/messages or some other file
   

Then by carfully looking at those files the one you have the crash log for ... you can really solve the issue as follows:

sudo unlink /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libsoup-2.4.so.1

or

sudo unlink /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libsoup-2.4.so.1

Done !! Cheers!!
