Suddenly apps don't start or crash while starting: Possible reasons?

Question

Hello,
from one minute to the next I've got massive problems with a lot of apps:
they don't start or crash while starting (resp. while executing a function).
I don't have any clue what could have happened. Last software-specific action
I did (half hour before the problems appeared) was to update the Flash player
(in the meantime I've removed it with App Cleaner).
Troubleshooting steps I've tried:
-- Start the Mac in Save Mode
-- Use Apple Hardware Test (no damage found)
-- Repair permissions
-- Check the volume with Disc Utiliy (no damage found)
I've also tried to use Onyx, but the app refuses my admin password
although it is valid and works.
The specs of my Mac:
-- Mac Mini Late 2012
-- Yosemite 10.10.2
-- RAM 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 (Samsung)
-- 500 GB SSD Samsung 840 EVO
The following excerpts are from the crash reports of some of the apps.
Is someone out there who understand them and can give me
informations about the possible reason for the crashes?
Thank you,
Thomas

Thanks for your replies!
$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-164)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_07-87, mixed mode, sharing)
All other programs written at the time do run without problems if they don't use a JMenu. The two that do don't run anymore. I already did reinstall Java, didn't help.
