MyEclipse seems to have got into the habit of regularly freezing up on start-up. I can’t open files because the cursor is just the spinny gif. In the corner it says “Checking for Updates … (11%)” (or sometimes other things). I’ve tried starting with -clean and a reboot but can’t get it working. I’m on 7.5.

custdx,

Sorry to hear you are running into this issue. Can you answer few queries for me to get to the root cause ?
1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? You can get it from MyEclipse IDE menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details. In case you can’t open your IDE, can you copy and paste your myeclipse.ini file here?
2. What is your OS and what is the version?
3. How did you install ME7.5? Using all-in-one installer/ using pulse/ using archived update site?
4. Have you installed a fresh copy of ME7.5? Or have you upgraded from a previous install? If yes, what was the version of previous install? And how did you upgrade?
5. Are you having multiple versions of ME?
6. How many projects are present in your current workspace? What are the type of projects and their lines of code?
7. Have you tried to switch to a new workspace and see if it helps?
8. Also I would recommend you to turn off features which are not being used by you. To do that click on Windows > Preferences > General > Capabilities > Advanced and disable the capabilities that you are not using
Let me know how this works for you.

Joy,

1. I’ve posted the installation details below.
2. I’m running Windows Vista Business.
3. I think I was running 7.2 and then accepted a dialogue box offering the upgrade
4. No I haven’t installed a fresh copy
5. No I don’t have multiple copies
6. I have 17 projects – at a very rough estimate, 200 – 300K lines of code
7. No I haven’t tried switching workspace – it’s a critical time for my apps and I’ve been reluctant to change anything. Will consider trying this
8. Have now done that.

It seems to be working OK this morning – but it seems to be one of those coming and going things. Will try a new workspace/ fresh install if it keeps happening. Thanks for your help.

cusdx,

Good to hear you have a temporary solution. The reason you saw this is because you have upgraded from 7.1.1 to ME 7.5 directly using the updgrade available. The base eclipse has changed from 7.1 to 7.5. Next time you upgrade to 8.0, I would recommend you do a clean install. Or do a fresh install of ME 8.0, that way you can have 2 IDEs – a 7.5 and the other 8.0. Also you can create smaller workspaces. Each workspace with couple of projects, that way you can easily notice performance improvements when the IDE starts up.

Thanks Joy, I’ll try that.
