“An internal error occurred while showing an internal error”

Asked By gwendolynhunterr 10 points N/A Posted on - 10/26/2012

It seems funny but since it is an error message, it will definitely irritate you when it starts appearing from time to time. However, it came by me when I was working with eclipse Helios.

It is what reminded me of a well known quote, “Before you can understand recursions you first need to understand recursions”.

An internal error has occurred while showing an internal error.

You are recommended to exit the workbench.

Subsequent errors may happen and may terminate the workbench without warning.

See the .log file for more details.

Do you want to exit the workbench?

Yes No

However, when I pointed towards the question, "Do you want to exit the workbench?" the very first thing I thought is to hit No button. Though, thereafter I expected it would present me the same strange error message saying,

An internal error occurred while showing an internal error, but I was wrong as I didn’t get something like that, but the eclipse come up with a white bar and stop working thereafter.

“An internal error occurred while showing an internal error”

Hi,

Generally this is an Out of memory warning error, it comes out if you have a bulky quantity of programs working, it comes out when you try to begin new programs or you attempt to use program that already working, however you still have bounty of page file and physical memory vacant. The most understandable resolution to this is to enlarge the memory allocated to the JVM.

Best regards,

Heather marie
