Description Jean Beaudet CLA 2006-08-24 23:34:05 EDT
Sometimes, when using Content Assist, Eclipse freezes completely and there is no other way out than openning the windows process explorer and killing javaw.exe. This happens every two to five hours, which means 1 to 3 times a day.

This started a few weeks ago while I was then using the Visual Editor (VE). VE was creating many java processes and I created some myself while debugging. I first thought these threads could be the cause for the freeze, but it doesn't seem to be the case, since even without VE, I still get those UI locks.

This is quite similar to bug 152387 with CDT.

Here is my setup :
- Eclipse 3.2 Callisto (Everything)
- JRE 1.5.0_08
- Subclipse 1.0.3
- Amaretas UML 1.2

Right after the freeze

Actually, the freeze happens when I use content assist (Ctrl-Space) to add the import statement at the beginning of the class. I know it also works with Alt-Shift-O, but I am used to do it with Content-Assist. 

I tried it with a Date (java.util.Date) and couldn't reproduce the bug. However, with org.html.parser.Parser, it always happens. I don't recall exactly the detail for previous hangs.
