Renato,

I presume you are using Windows. What version?

These apparently catastrophic errors usually result from Java and gvSIG 
not talking to one another properly anymore. It might be due to a recent 
incompatible version of Java being updated on your machine or something 
else.

One simple method of resolving this is reinstall gvSIG and tell the 
install program to use the Java that comes with the install EXE. It then 
creates a Java VM dedicated to gvSIG that will not change over time as 
updated Java versions are installed in other places on your machine.

If you are not sure how to do this check out my tutorials at the site 
http://gis.fossworkflowguides.com

If you do this and the error still occurs then ask for help again and 
people on the list will try and help resolve the problem.

In future posts include gvSIG version, platform and Java version as they 
are all important in resolving the problem.
