I have twice a day a problem with myeclipse 4.1.1Ga and Eclipse 3.1.1. At different times, (ie typing in an editor, saving a file, starting a build, starting a wizard), the javaw process running myeclipse will go runaway (100% CPU busy). It does not matter how long I wait (I tried overnight twice) it will not come back and all I can do is kill the process. This is running on Windows XP SP2. Before I started lowering the priority of the javaw process using task manager, I had to wait 10-15 minutes before being able to bring up task manager and kill the process (or reboot). Now I have just had it and wanted to report this.

Do you still have this same problem with a clean install of Eclipse 3.2 GA and MyEclipse 5.0 Milestone 2?

[MFJASSOCIATES]

Yes, it just happened on 3.2/MyEclipse 5M2

What does “java -version” give back from your console?

[MFJASSOCIATES]

java version “1.5.0_06”
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_06-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_06-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

Just to clarify this was a clean install of Eclipse and MyEclipse into new directories with a new workspace?

Check this thread if you want the full configuration I am using: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-13255.html

I unzipped eclipse 3.2 into a new directory, unzipped myeclipse 5M2 manual install into a new directory and added extension point to eclipse 3.2. Then opened the same workspace that is causing the problem with eclipse 3.1.1/myeclipse 4.1.1. I cannot use a new workspace because the work I need to do is in the workspace I am using. It does not happen immediately.

Try adding -clean to the short cut you use to start MyEclipse. I will see if I can reproduce this on my end on a Linux, Windows and Mactel system.

Another developer jjust pointed out to me that it’s possible your command line arguments may not be optimal. Can you adjust your Eclipse.ini file to use the following suggest args?

I have a same problem with MyEclipse 5M2

Just as Riyad suggested, if you are using the Sun JDK, make sure you specify the following vmargs

-vmargs -Xmx512M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

.

The eclipse -clean option seems to have corrected the excessive CPU problem.
