Why does my Eclipse crash all the time?

eclipse crash openjdk ubuntu-10.10

Somehow stupid question, I have to admit - hope it won't cost me too many points.

To make it clear: I would also be happy if you can help me find the reason for the crashes. I wouldn't expect a precise answer.

However, I don't see why my Eclipse is crashing (freezing) all the time. Mostly when I save a file.

For some reason, crashes seem to increase lately...

I use Eclipse Helios (Version: 3.6.1) and Java version 1.6.0_20 (OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.9.2) (6b20-1.9.2-0ubuntu2) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 19.0-b09, mixed mode)) on Ubuntu 10.10 (64-Bit).

Thank you!
