I have had the same problem with both Oxygen and Photon latest releases on Ubuntu 18.04LTS with java version "1.8.0_151".
I am debugging a Swing application. After reaching an enabled break-point, the entire Ubuntu GUI "hangs". Mouse clicks on an icon which start other applications and the eclipse window are totally ignored. The only recovery is to reboot the computer.
The strange thing is this appears "intermittently". It will work fine for long periods of time and the other times it occurs. It is in one of the "it always occurs" times.
.
I don't recall experiencing this with non-GUI applications.
Any thoughts on how to fix/workaround this?
TIA,
Roy
I was also facing the same issue. I would suggest to check your OS, if it is 32 bit downgrading your eclipse to Oxygen package seems to be the only choice available. Else you can upgrade your OS to 64 bit if supported by processor if you wish to carry forward with Photon package of eclipse. Support by eclipse on 32 bit OS is no longer available.

I am running Eclipse IDE
Version 2018-12 (4.10.0)
Build id: 20181214-0600
On macOS Mojave
Version 10.14.1
MacBook Pro 2018 with 32GB and cpu 2.9 G i9
When I attempt to things such as open up a class file etc - I see the Initialize Language Server and I get the famous BeachBall - some times it is for a second or two and other times 30 or more seconds.
Is there some configuration or something that can improve the performance of this or ability to turn it off? Search the web has turned up nothing so far. At first I thought it was the freemarker IDE extension - uninstalled that but no change.
I uninstalled freemarker IDE and all the other JBOSS extensions since I am not currently using them.
I then when into Preferences -> Language Servers and turn them all off.
Now I do not have any issues with slowness of opening files or the famous mac BeachBall.
For me the issue was with Spring, and then I went ahead and turned off all Spring language servers. I do not know what capabilities are lost due to this, but there seems to be lot of improvement that is needed here before we actually use it.
What a pain in neck, killed my office work productivity for almost a month!
Yes, I know. I got no rep on this site. But I have to ask this.
I upgraded my laptop, my main dev machine, from 14.02 LTS to 14.04 LTS and the plugins I use with eclipse (3.7) completely broke. I use WOLips (https://github.com/wocommunity/wolips) with eclipse. WOLips is for working with WebObjects applications.
I was getting two crashes. One would occur when editing a java file, when auto-suggest kicked in. I fixed this by adding "-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla" to the end of my eclipse.ini. I have no idea how I found that. It took a lot of random searching.
Now, I get an exception whenever I open a WOComponent:
Unhandled event loop exception
No more handles [Could not detect registered XULRunner to use]
Trying to define a XULRunnerPath just gives me even stranger errors.
I can file a bug with eclipse (which I did). I tried eclipse 4.2 and 4.4 and got other complicated integration issues. I can file a bug with mozilla (though I was not aware that they were involved). I can install a copy of xulrunner (outside of my copy of Firefox) and point to that (which I did). I can file a bug with ubuntu launchpad (which I did). None of these get you very much response.
So, I was going from one LTS to another LTS. 14.04 - 14.02 = 0.02. Not a huge deal, yes? Should I have expected problems? How can I file a bug with the people involved in just this upgrade and not the other twelve systems that this touches upon?
I had Apple laptops for a long time. I do not expect that amount of hand-holding. But I do wish someone would throw me a bone.
I can get work done if I go buy another hard disk, install 12.04 onto it and copy all of my data back. Is this really necessary? You know, I am willing to help integration testing of these releases. But the systems for finding the right place to put my oar in the water seem fairly impenetrable. Any suggestions? I do not mind working for a solution. If there is a solution.
Ray,
Did you try Eclipse 4.4 and use the instructions on the wiki for compiling the new WOLips? the Eclipse 4.4 is acting just fine for me (but I'm on a Mac sorry :( )
An infuriating problem.
My Netbeans IDE 7.2 refuses to shutdown when I try to shutdown my machine.
I have got to use task manager to close the beast.
Its a windows 7 64 bit machine.
I have tried the usual Netbeans forums.
Any Ideas?
PS: I also use the well behaved Eclipse.
from what I'm seeing, you might have a corrupted install of netbeans cause usually it is light on a system. How long ago did you install it? Did you make any major changes before this all started, from evinvorment setting changes to major changes like how the thing complies etc...? I would say, the easiest bet is to back up the settings, if possible, and reinstall or do a repair install, if offered, of netbeans.
Upgraded to 7.3 and I no longer have a problem.
BTW Netbeans 7.3 is great for developing HTML 5 code.
I want to install additional software for Eclipse (I use 3.5 because 3.6 is not yet for Scala and Android).
Problem is:
The downloads / installations are INSANELY slow, I didn't get past 5% on the ADT plugin (for example) in one hour - same for everything else I tried
Firefox (no other software so far, IE works fine, etc...) is slowed down when it comes to Internet connectivity as long as "install new software" is running
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit here on a quadcore machine with 4 GB of RAM and an 8 MBit / sec DSL.
Is this a known issue, are there any fixes or will I have to stop considering developing for Android phones?
And yes, I disabled everything - firewall, Skype, etc...
Nothing helped.
JDK installed is 6u21, latest release (installed it today).
Try to uncheck the option 'Contact all update sites during install to find required software' when installing ADT. But you must install all plug-ins required by ADT firstly, such as GEF.
That 6u21 may be your problem, depending on how recently you downloaded it (and, if from a mirror, how up to date the mirror is). They changed "Sun Microsystems, Inc" to "Oracle", and Eclipse was relying on that string for resolution of a bug:
http://m.zdnet.com/blog/burnette/oracle-rebrands-java-breaks-eclipse/2012
From the article: "If you downloaded Java for Windows 32-bit or 64-bit recently, be sure you have the 1.6.0_21-b07 version and not b06."
I've just changed computers at work and now have a really beefy 64bit Vista os. Currently I'm still slogging through the pile of quirks (like no 64bit drivers for ms access) and I've noticed that my startup time for eclipse is a LOT longer than it was on 32bit Vista. I have almost nothing in my workspace yet, so that knocks out most of the change/rebuild workspace issues. I've used the -clean option a few times and nothing seems to change it.
I'm not running the 64bit version of eclipse, just because it seemed like too much trouble right now with all my other issues getting the machine back into a stable state. It also seems like 64bit eclipse is still pretty rough around the edges since it doesn't appear to have actually been released yet.
Any clues about what I can try to speed things up? Once it's running, it seems to work fine.
TIA
Try tweaking the JVM's memory settings. E.g., if you have 512 MB memory, pass "-vmargs -Xms40m -Xmx256m" to eclipse.exe.
You may give eclipse 64bits a shot (even though you say in your question not using it).
With the latest JDK (6u12) and the latest 3.5M5 eclipse, it does work quite fine.
With my settings, that is ;)
