Description Chris Deadlock CLA 2013-04-19 15:18:36 EDT 
Eclipse is in a very unstable state right now:
- Random popup windows claiming Null pointer error
- Randomly stops variable highlighting throughout file
- Blinking cursor will dissapear and not reappear until changing tabs

I think the system can stop/have trouble reading in preferences every once in a while:

The best concrete example is once during editing an XML document, a Ctrl+Shift+F format of the document was inserting newlines in some tags. I have seen this problem once before I set the XML line length to 300. I looked in preferences and it was definitely set to 300, a couple of weeks ago.
Restarting eclipse and attempting another XML format was successful.

Approximately 3-4 times the Team Synchronizing view went through my entire source tree marking all of the files in svn:ignore as updated as if it was not respecting the svn:ignore feature. This was fixed by going through the TEAM->SVN preferences again, not changing anything, but it seems as if just going through some options and restarting may have fixed it.
