Hi, Whenever I'm editing a Java class source and try to find references to this element a progress dialog pops up and the whole application just freezes. The progress bar doesn't change and pressing Cancel doesn't work either Steps to reproduce it. I have to kill the - Open Java source file - Select an element eg. a method name in the editor - Press right mouse button for the popup menu - Select References-> Hierarchy Environment: Windows 2000 JDK 1.4.2_03 Eclipse 200401210900 Rico
I can't reproduce this. Can you elaborate how often you see this behaviour, whether you can reproduce this with a new workspace, etc. Also, how long did you wait before killing Eclipse.
Hmmm ... I was sure that it happend in all of my workspaces. But I double checked and it's only happening in 1 workspace. I guess I just have to rebuild this workspace then ... Hmmm ... I'm wondering if there is a tool or a plugin that could help rebuilding the workspace. Sorry about that! Rico
Hold it! Can you get a stack trace from the workspace where the search freezes? It might be a rare condition, but still a bug. You can get a stack trace by starting eclipse with "-vm <path to your jdk>\bin\java.exe" and pressing <ctrl>-break when the hang occurs.

OK ... I already was in the middle of rebuilding my workspace. But luckily I made a backup copy. :-) Anyway ... I didn't answer your question before about how long I wait before I kill the process. One time I waited between 5 and 10 minutes, just to see if it just takes longer. The same with trying to Cancel the search ... I attached the stacktrace. I hope it helps. Rico
This looks more like CORE. (notice two threads in the JDT Core JobManager). Moving to Core for commment.
Rico: has this happened again in the last few months?
Rico: Please reopen if it can be reproduced on the latest build.
