Version: Europa, MyEclipse version 6.5.0, installed via Pulse a couple of days ago.
Platform: WinXP

I’m having a problem with Matisse hanging occasionally. I’ll be doing some GUI
development, click someplace, and … nothing. The menu bar goes away (replaced by a
white bar), and Eclipse appears to hang. I eventually hit the close-window X in the
upper-right corner of the window, get the “app is not responding” dialog, and select the
kill-immediately option. This is getting to be a PIA in part because it takes a bit of time to
recover (full workspace rebuild) and in part because, more than half the time, when I
come up the “installed JRE” preference has been changed to a non-Java1.5 JRE, which
means a second rebuild.

I’ve doubled the PermSize and MaxPermSize, and although this helps I’m still getting
occasional hangs. Should I double the *PermSize settings again? Should I change the
ration between PermSize and MaxPermSize? Is there some other config setting that
might stabilize Matisse?

I running 6.5 on Windows XP Pro. I never have problems, except that Matisse will, once in a while, just hang. I get an hour glass cursor, and I have to force Eclipse to end. It seems to happen most when I am rearranging components in the outline. Just an FYI.

rws@templarcorp.com,
Did you do a reinstall and run? I ask because the first install summary you posted showed MyEclipse being launched with JRE 1.5.0_15, which was a known bug in Pulse a bit ago, but we fixed it 2 weeks ago. And then in the 2nd post it looks like it’s being run with 1.5.0_11, which is exactly right for the exact bug you are describing.

Can you right-click on your Profile and do a Reinstall and Run again and see if the issue pops up again?
