I can’t set the Java compiler settings anymore. I tried closing and reopening the projects, switching workspaces, nothing helped. How can I get eclipse to reset the fields in that dialog? Attached the two examples from my two workspaces (when I try to access the boxes, they tend to totally disappear, like in screenshot 1. What you see in place of those widgets is just whatever was visible in their position before).

All other settings tabs are ok, only the widgets used here show that behaviour.

I had a similar effect with the run configuration dialog, but that somehow healed itself when I was clicking around. I somehow suspect this has sth to do with me using two monitors. The eclipse gui always collapses to the right monitor when I click the right half of the titlebar, and it’s my feeling that results in strange graphic effects. However I wasn’t very successful with reproducing the effect, it only changes the bug’s appearance, so I cant say with certainty, I’m only guessing here.

edit:
This is MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench Version: 6.0.1 GA, Build id: 6.0.1-GA-200710 under Win2k sp4

schlork,
This doesn’t look like a MyEclipse related issue. Can you look for any processes that are consuming huge memory and try to run MyEclipse without them?
Also, can you try increasing the Xmx, MaxPermSize to the values as given in the link below –

I tried that.
First as a command line parameter. Checking the log, I saw following:

Command-line arguments:  -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86

I don’t know where these arguments come from, but I saw the additional ones weren’t present.

So I tried adding the parameters to the eclipse.ini – but no change in the log.

I’m afraid, I don’t know how to make eclipse draw these parameters.
(Thre’s no change in the appearance of the widgets either.)

(I’m also having the problem of a project I can’t open again. Usually I could remedy this by switching workspaces once or twice, but this time no luck. Eclipse freezes everytime. I have that 3,4 times a week. Makes testing rather arduous. But that’s for another post.)

I have to correct that. It’s not in the .log file, but when I look at Help/About../”Configuration Details”, I see the parameters, excerpt:

eclipse.vm=D:\localapp\apps\dev\MyEclipse 6.0\jre\bin\javaw.exe
eclipse.vmargs=-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-Duser.language=en
-XX:PermSize=128M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
-jar

, so it was used after all.

However, it doesn’t mitigate the problem.

schlork,
i shall escalate this issue to the dev team member.
They will get back to you on this

schlork,

Those screenshots do look terrible. You are using a really old version of MyEclipse – which in turn uses an Eclipse version that is 3 years old as well. This looks like an issue with SWT (or the dialog logic) something which would certainly be fixed in recent releases by Eclipse.

Are you using a custom DPI settting for your fonts? Can you try disabling themes or reset the appearance settings in windows to something more basic? Changing the screen resolution may help as well. Other than that, unfortunately, all I can suggest is that you move to a more recent version of MyEclipse.

[schlork]

Actually, my Windows settings are rather boring standard, without such things as themes, and changing resolution, while not being a good solution (I’m using lcd screens) also didn’t change the effect.

Since I “inherited” the whole Eclipse environment together with a bunch of applications and so just dipped my toes into a world of worlds, changing MyEclipse together with Eclipse (to what version? what do I download if I want to test the professional? I only seem to be able to find blue and classic for download) is not something I’m looking forward to too eagerly.

However, thanks for your help, and I’ll see where I get.
