Project renaming in Eclipse is too slow - eclipse

I'm using Spring Tool Suite 4. I right clicked the project name in Package Explorer and clicked Refactor > Rename.
The progress bar won't move for minutes so I clicked 'cancel' ,which didn't work either. The OS's task manager says it is occupying less than 3% of the CPU.
If I forcefully exit the process using OS's task manager, will it corrupt my project? How do I stop the process and be able to restore integrity of my project?
img:The progress bar does not move at all
I need your help before I randomly try something I don't really understand and ruin my project.

install4j: Unattended auto-update and relaunch at end

So I'm trying to build an auto-updater for my app. I've chosen the "Update downloader with silent version check". It's integrated with my launcher as well, like it can be seen in the first picture. I'd like if possible to remove the screen where the user is asked whether to launch the updater and just always execute it.

Screen to remove
My client would also like to have the auto-update process as unattended as possible. So it would need the following steps:
1) user starts launcher
2) auto-updater checks and finds new version
3) auto-updater downloads new version
4) auto-updater launches downloaded updater
5) auto-updater finishes and relaunches new version of the app
I've managed the first 4 steps but I can't manage to make it relaunch the app, or at least have an informative message saying that the user needs to relaunch it him/herself. I've added the Execute launcher action but it seems to either not launch or launch the previous version. Is there a tutorial or anything for this at it seems like my case is pretty standard? :(
Any help would be appreciated, as I've been struggling with this for a while.
Thanks
The background update functionality in install4j (since 7.0) is more suitable for your use case.
See
https://www.ej-technologies.com/products/install4j/whatsnew7.html
and search for "Background auto-update" to see screen shots.
To get started, add a "Background update downloader" application on the Installer->Screen & Actions step.
In the launcher wizard of a GUI launcher that should process scheduled update installers, go to the new "Auto-update integration" step and select the "Execute downloaded update installers at startup" check box. By default, the execution mode is set to "Unattended mode with progress dialog".
For services and command line launchers, the UpdateChecker API allows you to execute scheduled update installers programatically.
You can also execute the downloaded installer as soon as it's downloaded. The source file
samples/hello/gui/HelloGui.java
shows you how to interact with the background updater by using the API.

What could be preventing VSCode showing run tasks?

I have been using tasks.json in Ionic and Ember projects.
In one specific project trying to open the list of tasks with Tasks|Run Task... does not work - the little blue loading marker scrolls across the bottom of the window and after a short while the window just closes.
Anybody know where I can start to look?
I have tried copying the exact same tasks.json file from other working projects so it is not a typo in that file.
(VSCode 1.15.1, Node 7.4.0, Windows 10)
Empty broccoli tmp folder!
It seems a lot of people find the broccoli /tmp folder filling up fast! Mine was 2.95GB just for the ember tutorial project! I have to keep manually deleting thousands of files from here, and each time my tasks start working again!
As the tmp folder fills up through repeated rebuilds the tasks menu seems to get slower and slower.
open the list of tasks with Tasks|Run Task... does not work
More generally, a slow task provider can prevent the list to show up.
See VSCode 1.43 (Feb. 2020, 3 years later)
Task quick pick updates
The task quick pick, shown when the Run Task command is executed, has been updated to show you which task providers are still running.
If you don't need tasks from that provider, the "Stop Detecting" button will immediately show you the tasks that have been detected so far so you don't have to wait for any slow task providers.

pureapp: changes in software components and rerun it

I have a pureapp frame with one software component (system plugin)
in it. Every time i make changes in install.py, i have to "build
with binary" and "update to test environment" and deploy the frame
which ultimately create new instance and install other default
plugins and the one i created (takes more than 15-20 minutes).
Is there any way to make changes to my plugin only and re-run the frame
without redeploying the instance and other default plugins?
found the way....
my question was about IBM pure application (not added on the site yet)..
anyway trick is to add debug component and enable 'Resumable on script error' in the frame.
when execution fails, removing dump.json will resume the operation

Eclipse / CCS Bug - Uses All Memory On Clean Project

I'm having a problem with CCS6, which is based on Eclipse. I'm trying to build a demo project that comes with a TI MSP430 demo board. When I build the project CCS/Eclipse proceeds to clean the project, during which all the memory on my system is slowly consumed. After memory usage reaches 100% Windows declares that CCS/Eclipse is having problems and asks to close it down.
I am running Windows 8.1. I have uninstalled and reinstalled CCS several times, versions 5.5 and 6.0. I get the same behavior every time. I also updated the version of Java on my system. I have reached out to TI support engineers and they are baffled and useless. I have also tried with a second computer also running Windows 8.1, same behavior.
The problem is obviously rooted with gmake somehow. Perhaps there is something wrong with the project files causing this behavior? I haven't experimented with other projects yet.
Thanks!
P.S. I wanted to post screen shots but StackOverflow isn't letting me. The window I see in CCS/Eclipse is titled "Cleaning selected projects" and then reads "Invoking Command: c:\ti\ccsv6\utils\bin\gmake -k clean" And it just stays on this forever. Using Task Manager I can then see my memory slowly filling up. After about 5 minutes or so it reaches 100% use and Windows asks to shut down CCS.

Eclipse - loading launch configurations from old system

My system died, and IT has moved me to a new machine. The old HD has been stuffed into the box as a secondary, and I've access to my old data and development. I restored the files from the repository and whatever was missing from the old HD and I'm back to developing.
Trouble is, while my launch configurations are there in each project, I'm not seeing them in Eclipse.
Is there a way I can recover these, without going through the painful process of recreating all of them?
Found it!
Select File/Import and expand Run/Debug.
Select Launch Configuration and hit Next.
Browse to old location and hit Finish
