title: Any one know how to overcome "Compiler internal error. Process terminated with exit code 138" in IntelliJ?
body: <p>It's a Java project where we are using Java 1.5.0 but I can't find a list of javac error codes anywhere. I've tried Invalidating the Cache and restarting. I've tried Rebuilding the Project. It's a maven project so I am able to compile from the Maven panel within IntelliJ but I need to run it as a Tomcat configuration which I don't know how to do outside of IntelliJ. </p>
  
  <p>Edit: in IntelliJ, you can run your project via their Run/Debug Configurations. You can set up a configuration for an app, junit, tomcat etc... this is how I've been running my project to get the error</p>
  
  <p>2nd Edit: It appears that my Java 1.5 was corrupt. When I removed it from intelliJ and then tried to add it back, IntelliJ told me that it was corrupt. Also I get bus errors at the command line...</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ~/Java\ 1.5.0/Home/bin/javac -version
  bus error
  $ ~/Java\ 1.5.0/Home/bin/java -version
  bus error
  </code></pre>
