PyLucene : lucene.initVM() causes a segmentation fault on linux RHEL7

I installed PyLucene 4.10.1 (which I believe is the latest). However, when I call for initVM(), a SIGSEGV is raised and I have no idea what to do about it.
Here is the output :
[zzz#xxx gitCode]$ python
Python 2.7.5 (default, Oct 11 2015, 17:47:16)

>>> import lucene

Aborted (core dumped)
The output of the core file is as follow :
Core was generated by `python'.
Program terminated with signal 6, Aborted.
#0 0x00007fc72e7ee5f7 in ?? ()
However, I noticed that Pylucene uses JRE 1.7 (from the above error message). When I run the following commands :
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config java
/usr/sbin/alternatives --config javac
it shows me that Java 1.8 is the default one. Could it be a compatibility problem ? If yes, how can I ensure stability with one version ?

I actually had two version of pylucene installed (4.9 and 4.10). Moreover, i compiled them with JDK 1.7 and was actually using 1.8 (even after switching to 1.7 it showed the SIGSEGV).
In the end, I just rm -rf both eggs (site/packages/lucene4.xxx.egg) and recompiled pylucene4.10 with JDK 1.8 and it worked.

Android Studio Core Dump

I have working with Android Studio for quite a long time. Today, I have upgraded my android studio's some of the build tools as well as upgraded to a latest version (1.5 or so), I can't create any more new project. I am getting a core dump error. I am from Ubuntu 14.04, I am running it from my terminal.
Here is the Error terminal is giving me

I did a little googling and found out that it might happen if my Java runs out of memory. So, I went up and gave Java unlimited memory (it has basic 382MB or something memory). I have been in this error for whole day long.
Thank you for your input.

Just try to downgrade libglib2.0-0 from synaptic. and don't forget to lock the downgrade version, so it will not update again in the future.
downgrade:
package -> force version
lock:
package -> lock version

JRE crashes in Eclipse since upgrading to Ubuntu 14.04

I've been developing Android apps on Eclipse 4.2.2 and Java 1.6.0_21 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS without any problems. Recently I got an upgrade notification for 14.04 and so I upgraded. Now I keep getting the following error in Eclipse
#

Any idea what's wrong?

OK, I found a solution, which is to add the following line to eclipse.ini
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

JVM crashes with illegal instruction in desktop Libgdx app

AL lib: (EE) alc_cleanup: 1 device not closed
The android application runs fine however. I'm running Windows XP. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I've unable to find a solution elsewhere.

Using new version of libGDX fixes this problem

IcedTea and lwgjl

I have recently found myself on a Linux computer and am liking it so far.
However, I have been having an issue and dont really know the source. I am trying to make a java project that uses lwjgl in eclipse (something I have done in windows) but when I run the code my display window comes up black and blinking and I get this error report-
#

I have the sun java 6 jdk installed and I have tried pointing eclipse to that using the -vm command but this error is the same. Java projects not using lwjgl work. Is this because I am using lwjgl wrong, the way it interacts with icedTea (something which the -vm command seems to do nothing for), eclipse? I have no idea where to even start.
Has anybody here used lwgjl in Linux, do they have any ideas?
Thankyou
(also I can post the error log but it is pretty long, I dont know how much help it will be)
EDIT: After I changed the jdk in use it runs but only for one frame and then crashes with this error-

Any ideas?

Run sudo update-java-alternatives -l to see the different versions of Java on your system. Then run sun update-java-alternatives -s [java type] to set it as the default, which binds it to the commands java, javaw, etc.
In your case, you should run sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun as mentioned on the Java Community Documentation page.
Well it looks like Java isn't the problem. You should read about SIGSEGV and XQueryExtension; it looks like your Xlib or X11 is to blame.
If I were you, at this time I would follow the instructions; go to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/ and submit a bug report, paste this error and attach the logfile (/home/jeff/workspace/SpinDodge3/hs_err_pid10427.log). See if the experts can redirect you to exactly where the problem lies.
Also, of course, make sure your system is updated. You don't want to report a bug that has already been fixed.

As far as I can tell this is an error with eclipse and openGL in Ubuntu 10.04. It happens regardless of the jdk used (I have tried both). However, I have figured out that this error is only thrown when the program closes and was not causing the problems I saw with the lwjgl rendering. Except for the build-up of error logs just ignoring this error has caused me no problems so far.

You are not executing with the Sun JVM but with the OpenJDK, and there are subtle differences. Switch Ubuntu to use the Sun JVM and try again.
