This hang seems to happen every time for me, and in the Progress view, it is hung in the task "Initializing Java Tooling" with the subtask "Configuring JRE System Library [J2SE-1.5]" Because my environment was so hosed, I started experimenting a bit to try to fix the problem. What I found to get past my hang was to rename the <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.core/variablesAndContainers.dat file to another name. After doing that, Eclipse did not hang on startup. After a while of initializing, it threw the StackOverflowException which I will attach. When I restarted again, everything seems to be working as it should. Created attachment 121219 [details]
The stacktrace from the StackOverflowException
The problem reported in comment 0 doesn't seem to be a deadlock according to the attached thread dumps. Threads are still running. It might however have been very slow and give the impression that the initialization was stuck. A slow container initializer could explain this behavior. Only a reproducible test case could tell us for sure. The StackOverflowError shown in comment 3 is a consequence of the deletion of the variablesAndContainers.dat file. Since the previous container values could not be retrieved, the algorithm entered a deep recursion. It is not an infinite recursion however. If the stack had been big enough, the initialization would have completed. I will investigate a fix for the StackOverflowError. Created attachment 121653 [details]
Proposed fix for the StackOverflowError
To verify that the fix is in, only the code can be checked.
Fix released for 3.5M5 Verified for 3.5M5 using I20090125-2000 build |
Created attachment 121186 [details] Zipped up javacore text file I had a Eclipse 3.3 workspace that I was opening using a new install of Eclipse 3.5M4. When I started the workbench, I noticed that in the status bar of the main window it seemed stuck at 1% initializing the Java models. I thought that perhaps it was a mistake and I tried to open the launch configuration dialog and Eclipse became completely useless. I took a thread dump while it was hung and I've attached it to this bug.
