Hi All,

I have created a Java web project in myeclipse 4.0GA on windows XP with JVM 1.4.2_09. This is a fresh install.

I created a servlet using the servlet wizard and I have one warning “The serializable class <servlet> does not declare a static final serialVersionUID field of type long”. This is fine and expected.

When I click the warning icon next to the line it gives me 3 options:

Add default serial Version ID
Add generated serial Version ID
Rename in file

When I select “Add generated serial Version ID” I get a modal dialogue window which says “Computing serial version ID….” and “Starting virtual machine…”. This process never ends (well, never let it run more than 10 mins) and I have to kill it with task manager. I cannot access eclipse to close it cleanly and the Cancel button on the dialogue does nothing 😥

This is actually functionality provided by Eclipse 3.1.

This is a known Eclipse 3.1 bug:

I have this in Version: 6.0.1 GA
What can I do?

urir,
When you generate the serial ID it hangs the ID every time or just sometimes? If you use the default serial ID, does it hang?

I am using Version 6.5.1 GA and get the same problem.

When generating an ID I always get as far as:

Progress Information
Computing serial version ID…
Starting Virtual Machine

And it never completes. I have to kill the application from the Windows task manager.
