I’ve used MyEclipse for years with no more problems than usual. At my new job I, and to a lesser extent other coworkers) have had problems with eclipse hanging during startup or svn operations. I switched to MyEclipse (using one of my personal licenses) hoping it was a bad plugin mix and that helped for a while but I’m currently stuck again.

I’ve seen hang it in two places. First is during some SVN operations. In the most recent case I had done a sync, edited a file and the app hanged after I hit ‘mark as merged’. I’ve seen it happen under indigo after a ‘refresh’ after using a command line svn client. In these cases the system first says it’s busy but if I put the task into the background most other actions will result in a ‘waiting on background process’ dialog box and the app eventually grays out. I can’t kill it – the only way to kill the process is via the task manager. The system then hangs in ‘refreshing workspace’ when I restart myeclipse. It sometime “only” takes an hour to get back on its feet but I’ve seen it stuck the next morning, or even after the weekend. In those cases the only option is nuking the workspace and rebuilding it but that only solves the problems for a few days.

There may be other triggers but I can’t say that with any certainty. It definitely doesn’t hang with all SVN activity and it seems to be random. This is a fairly small project.

VisualVM says that MyEclipse has loaded 16000 classes or so and then classes are loaded very slowly. CPU utilitization stays at around 12%. This continues even if I hit the ‘perform gc’ button. Heap size is 1 GB, PermGen size is 112MB, both well within configuration.

This is a windows 7 system with 12 GB of memory.

I am using the 1.8 SVN client since we have a 1.7 SVN server. I also have the Ivy DE(?) and ‘libcontainer’ plugins. I have uninstalled support for the web containers we don’t use.

P.S., to state the obvious I’ve tried reinstalling and I’ve tried running with the -clean option.

brgiles ,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

1. Can you tell us which SVN plugin are you working with ?

2. I am afraid this an issue with the SVN plug-in you are using. Please check this thread about a hangup issue raised in subclipse 1.8:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1402

3. If you are working with Subclipse, please switch to subversive as a workaround. I suggest you cross post to relevant forums for better support on this issue.

Hope this helps.
