* We never had a *single* JVM crash on Linux and Windows since Java 1.4.0_00 (which was instable). * Technically we really don't see any reason to explain why a private Java runtime environment would crash and why an external Java runtime environment would be stable. * May be your crashes are simply "out of memory" crashes. (Do you work on large documents?) In such case the work around is very simple: see http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/user_faq.html#outofmemory > Unfortunately, file associations with spaces in the > path are no longer supported.

See Rob Smith's answer.
