Description Hansgeorg Schwibbe CLA 2008-12-30 23:34:54 EST 
Created attachment 121371 [details]
Screenshot of the system monitor

Build ID: M20080911-1700

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Open and close the Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers several times
2. Take a look at the system monitor

As you can see in the committed screenshot, there is no visible Eclipse IDE on my desktop, but the system monitor shows 4 java and eclipse processes wasting more than 1 GB of memory.

I am using Ubuntu Hardy Heron with OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_0-b11), OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_0-b11, mixed mode)

Hansgeorg, if you turn off assistive technologies through the system preferences and then logout and log back into your account (to get the changes to take effect), does this still occur?

Also, when it is blocked what does its stack trace look like?  Info here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock

Paul, I've marked this a Lunix-specific based only on the observation that I can do the repro scenario on Windows XP and don't see any leftover processes.
Comment 4 Remy Suen CLA 2009-01-20 16:06:08 EST 
Paul, this is probably a duplicate of bug 241773 pending on what we get out of comment 1's suggestion.
Comment 5 Holger CLA 2010-07-12 15:45:17 EDT 
Is this a duplicate of bug 247705 ?
Comment 6 Eclipse Webmaster CLA 2019-09-06 16:05:59 EDT 
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
