I cannot get Eclipse to open. It starts up with the splash screen and then just shows a small title bar window in the upper left corner of my screen. I cannot switch to Eclipse and Task Mgr says it is “not responding”.
The only thing I can think of that I recently changed is that I downloaded the new JRE version 1.5 and then went into Eclipse Preferences and pointed to that JRE instead of 1.4.2. Do you think this is the problem? I tried forcing the old JRE with: eclipse -vm C:\javaEnv\java\jre\bin\javaw.exe But that did NOT help. What can I do?
I’m using Eclipse 3.0.1 and MyEclipse 3.8.4 and Java 1.4.2.
Check your log file for startup exceptions: <workspace dir>\.metadata\.log
Also try and start Eclipse with the -clean command line argument.
My .log file is 74MB so it opens real slow. The -clean worked but also opening eclipse took a long time. I have 1 GB of RAM and a fast processor running on Windows 2000. Is there anything I can do to improve my eclipse performance such as truncating the .log file and such? Is it possible my two projects I open each time have grown that big that the background compiling is consuming that much resources? I mean my cpu gets pegged to 100% for at least 5 minutes each time I opened eclipse even before this recent problem.

You can erase it when Eclipse is shut down and let Eclipse start a new log file. If you have never done this I suggest you do, Eclipse just keeps appending to this file indefinitly.

You only need to use -clean once, you can remove it now from your command line. What it does is cause Eclipse to rebuild it’s entire plugin cache incase it has gotten into an invalid state. This is why it was so slow to startup.

Please describe the metrics of your projects… what kind, how big, how many Java files, how many JSP files, etc. Also when the CPU is pegged, if you look down in the right hand corner, is there any message from Eclipse saying what it is doing? Also please tell me the exact version of MyEclipse you are using by navigate to Window > Prefs > MyEclipse and reading the version off the display panel on the right.
