Why does a Java crash occurs while playing Minecraft with org.lwjgl.opengl in log file?

This article applies to:

Platform(s): Windows 8, Windows 7, Vista, Windows XP
Java version(s): 6.0, 7.0

SYMPTOMS

When I try to run Minecraft, a Java crash occurs and leaves a hs_log_pid log file on the desktop.

The hs_log_pid log file will contain a line that begins with org.lwjgl.opengl. This indicates that an error has occurred due to incompatibility between video card driver and the Lightweight Java Game Library (LWJGL).

CAUSE

Minecraft can crash due to a compatibility issue with the video card driver currently installed on your system.

SOLUTION

To fix this issue the video card driver installed in your system needs to be updated.
Here are some links to popular video card vendors:

nVidia
Radeon ATI
