Could you post the full stack trace?  Usually it ends up in
workspace/.metadata/.log.  That might be useful.

Anyway, an entry in the RH bugzilla would be useful.  Something like
this has a pretty good chance of actually being fixed.

Sometimes these things represent real gcj bugs.  So then it is just
the usual debug-fix cycle.  You can use gdb on eclipse, though it
isn't always that easy -- gdb's support for both gcj and
.so-using-applications is pretty weak :-(

The situation is much worse if the code in question is not compiled.
In that case the debugging is really hard; you have to step through
the bytecode interpreter by hand, look at the `jcf-dump' output, and
map that back to the source code.  Debugging prints are easier...
