    Eclipse startup command=-os
    linux
    -ws
    gtk
    -arch
    x86_64
    -showsplash
    -launcher
    /usr/lib64/eclipse/eclipse
    -name
    Eclipse
    –launcher.library
    /usr/lib64/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.0.3.R33x_v20080118/eclipse_1023.so
    -startup
    /usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar
    -exitdata
    1260014
    -vm
    /usr/bin/java

    Here is the problem: From time to time I may lose my database connection because of a flaky VPN connection. If I submit a database query whilst unbeknownst to me my connection got reset, the DBExplorer just hangs.

    Worse, it displays a modal dialog advising me an “Operation is in progress…” and that dialog cannot be dismissed. After several minutes control is returned to me, but the inability to carry on with other tasks whilst the DB explorer sorts itself out is not acceptable.

    Is there a workaround? Our Java projects are enormous and I fear that if I just kill the eclipse process I will be stymied by a long rebuild as the IDE refreshes the project and its build state after a forced termination.

    Thank you for your support on this matter.

    growltiger ,
    You could go to Windows > Prefs > MyEclipse > Database Explorer and change “Reconnect when Database Connection is lost” to Always Reconnect. Does that help?
