Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 Eclipse hangs after 5 minutes or so of working on it. There is not one particular reason why it hangs. The last time I was refactoring by converting a local variable to a field and it hung. Before that, I had hit control + space to complete a method name and it hung. I wait for 2 minutes or so to see if the UI responds again. If it does not, I kill it using task manager. I then get a dialog box saying the JVM exited with an exit code of -805306369. I just downloaded Helios from the internet. I installed subeclipse SVN client plug in. That is the only additional plug in I have at this time. I have a 64 bit JVM and the eclipse I download is 64 bit as well. Further, everytime when I open the workspace, I get errors on building. I clean it and it does not go away. I shut down and open the same workspace. After which an automatic build happens and the error goes away. This happening consistently. I have about 10 projects and no working sets and no servers. Its a standalone swing app that I developing. I have the same workspace and plugin on Galileo on another system and everything is fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I dont have the exact steps to reproduce this. Eclipse hangs after 5 minutes or so on doing different activities as described above. For the build errors: 1. Open eclipse and automatic build runs. (the errors are already present in the Problems view while the build is running) 2. The errors are present after the build completes. 2. Clean it and the errors are still present. 3. Close eclipse and open it again. 4. The automatic build process is kicked off. The errors now disappear.

Someone else opened bug 319495 though it's hard to say whether it's the same problem at the moment.
Are you sure it's a hang and not an OOME (PermGen space)? There's a problem with latest Java 1.6.0_21 from Oracle, see bug 319514.
What VM are you using ?
Could be another duplicate of bug 319514
Any update on this ? Did you try with a different VM ? What VM are you using ?
(In reply to comment #6) > Any update on this ? Did you try with a different VM ? > What VM are you using ? Hi Olivier, Sorry for not responding to this for sometime. I was travelling for quite a while now. Yes I was using 1.6 update 21. And was using the 64 bit versions of both eclipse and the jdk. I have found later on that in the eclipse website there have been warnings about java update 1.6 v 21. So it should be that. For me, to get my work finished I downloaded the 32 bit VM and installed the 32 bit eclipse and it was working fine. Sorry again for not replying sooner. Thanks a lot everyone for your interest in helping out. Sethu

Same error code I too got, "Java was started but returned exit code=-805306369" I downloaded Eclipse Helios from the link, http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ for a Windows 7 64-bit machine. Installed and created a project. Now whenever I open a file in Eclipse, it hangs and it throws the above mentioned error code on killing the Eclipse process. Same Eclipse version on a VMWare Windows 7, of similar machine configuration, it is working fine without this problem. Looking for a solution or at the least a workaround for this problem. Please help !

Please > help ! Please look at the above comments, maybe you're also using java 1.6 update 21. Can you please change your installed JRE, or point eclipse.ini to a different JRE location using -vm <JRE Home path on a new line>
