Kepler has been hanging quite frequently and it seems to correlate with me switching to another task, coming back to eclipse and it being hung (screen won't react or occasionally repaint). I have captured thread dumps over a few minutes and the GC stats shows 99%. I only use eclipse as an editor i.e. there is no building of java code. That is handled outside eclipse so the java builder is disabled. I will attach the threaddump, .log and eclipse.ini files
Created attachment 247359 [details] threaddumps
Created attachment 247360 [details] eclipse.ini for mem args
Created attachment 247361 [details] log file
Created attachment 247364 [details] Debug log with some debug options guessed at This is just a log of some activity that seems to be slowing it down but did not yet cause the hang.
I can't figure much from the log as this doesn't show where the memory is going. May I suggest you give MAT a try and report back with your findings? TIA! http://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/mat
Thanks for taking a look Jay.
Hi, I wil get the info as soon as I can. I needed to focus on my actual development for the past week or so and turned off a bunch of settings (found by trawling) in Eclipse to stabilise it which seems to have helped. However, I installed the memory tool and will post some results in the next few days hopefully once the pressure is off.
FYI The "bunch of settings" I referred to was the 'Validation' under Window->Preferences. I actually ended up disabling the whole lot. I suspected that because the source for the project is very large (approx 150,000 source files - java, xml, xsd, js etc..)
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. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
