I have been working on a project that requires rigorous debugging at each step and I notice that my debugger just randomly stops working from time to time and does not respond to any of the breakpoints.
I tried restarting eclipse and unplugging my device over and over. Any particular reason this might be happening? Its extremely frustrating and I couldn't think of a better place to post this query.
Many a thanks in advance!
I know this is an old question. But I had that eclipse suddenly stopped working, i.e. died before even executing one line. I restarted VM and eclipse multiple time. Then I stumbled here. Thank you, it got my mind thinking.
For all major issues with eclipse, not loading, freezing or debugger fuck up (that is not because of your code :D ). Try the following line:
./eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState -refresh
First I would make sure your eclipse is not running out of heap space memory. If necessary increase the heap memory using the -mx Java command line flag. Running out of memory can cause various instability problems such as the one you describe.
-xms is the start memory (at the VM start), -xmx is the maximum memory for the VM
eclipse.ini : the memory for the VM running eclipse
jre setting : the memory for java programs run from eclipse
catalina.sh : the memory for your tomcat server

I use ubuntu16.04 in VMware for learning Hadoop. The eclipse is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers at 2020.03 for linux_64.
And when use eclipse to write some java code, the IDE usually exits by itself without any error. And the eclipse is too slow when I use it. I guess that whether the memory is not enough for using IDE. But I found the memory is free when I check it. I allocated 2G of memory for ubuntu16.04.
And I search for this problem on web. I found many people believe the problem is eclipse caused. So they come up with a way to edit eclipse.ini.
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
Add this command to the last line of eclipse.ini.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. So Do u know why? Should I allocate more memory for VMware?
I'm using Eclipse JUNO for developing C applications. It runs on Ubuntu 12.04 inside a 3-CPU, 1GiB RAM virtual machine.
Everything works perfectly, but sometimes, I cannot build my application any more and the following error occurs:"cannot run program make; unknown reason".
Any idea on how to fix this?
Apparently this error is due to low memory conditions. It mostly occurs after searching in files within Eclipse (a search that returns a large result set). If the error occurs again:
Re-start Eclipse and try again
If it does not fix the problem, you need to completely reboot the OS
I am using the latest eclipse version (Indigo) on a machine: CPU: Intel Core i5 2.4 GHz, 8 GB RAM, 64-bit Windows, and eclipse keeps freezing very frequently. I increased all the memory things (permgen ...), but it did not help. When it stops responding a window pops out with the following data:
Java was started but returned exit code= -805306369
-XX:PermSize=256M
-XX:MaxPermSize = 512M
-Xms512m
-Xmx1024m
...
If you need more input, please feel free to ask :)
Any help would be very appreciated. Thank you, in advance.
Looking at your 64 bit Windows; I remembered this thread. See if the solution there resolves it
https://superuser.com/questions/314015/eclipse-crashed
Also as my comments above suggests; a -clean start to eclipse is a good idea, as you have good enough RAM to get it cleaned faster. Slower machines will struggle cleaning every time you start eclipse.
Run eclipse with -clearPersistedState from terminal/command prompt
We are using ImageMagick launched by a JBoss EJB by the way of im4Java, to produce image files. im4Java is an Java interface to imagemagick, launching external process with java.lang.ProcessBuilder. After few successfull runs, we are blocked by a :
java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/local/bin/convert": java.io.IOException: error=12, Cannot allocate memory
It seems not to be an ImageMagick issue, because if we launch the same process from command line, it runs perfectly. But more a Jboss memory allocation for an external process.
Any idea ?
Finally solved, but maybe not the best way. Indeed , we have used the solution of the overcommit_memory variable in Linux indicated by Ivan, and no problem any more. But we are not sure changing that this memory global settings would not affect the whole behavior of the system later, as it seems to allocate a lot more memory. Hopefully we do not run so often imagemagick from java code, so memory is released once imagemagick did his job.
When i work with NetBeans 6.9 for PHP the javaw.exe is occupying more then 50% of CPU and about 450mb ram (ram is not really the problem) but CPU tend to overheat.
I had jdk6.5 for 64bit sys and now updated to latest jdk6.21 but it is the same, the CPU is always near 100%
is there a solution to this high requirements of javaw.exe?
OS: Win7 64bit
UPDATE:
I installed the NetBeans 6.7.1 the one that worked EXCELLENT to compare with 6.9.
so:
6.7.1 less memory usage by javaw.exe then 6.9 but cpu still in use > 50% nonstop
then:
I installed the JDK6_21 32bit cause i had 64bit and in the config (netbeans.conf) file set the path of the 32bit JDK.
6.9 less memory CPU still to high
6.7.1 less memory NO CPU usage when idle
SO im gonna downgrade to the 6.7.1 because it works for me and i dont really need the 6.9 cause i dont really use the new features that offers.
btw. 6.8 was crashing with no reason, so that option is out.
You could configure Netbeans to run java.exe instead of javaw.exe, and see if the behavior is still the same.
If it's the same, this is clearly a Netbeans problem, so I would suggest reporting this problem to Netbeans, since this is the way bugs get usually fixed :).
One thing you should consider doing on Netbeans (and Eclipse... and $insertOtherIDE) is to turn off automatic project indexing, compile on save, and other things that cause lots of work to happen in the background without your prompting.
In Netbeans 6.9, external scanning/indexing tends to be the biggest culprit when dealing with projects of considerable size. Try disabling it by (and these instructions are for the Mac, I assume they are similar on Windows)
Go to Preferences
Click on Miscellaneous
Click on the Files Tab
Deselect "Enable auto-scanning of sources"
After this you can force NB to re-scan by clicking Source->Scan For External Changes in the menu (might be Mac specific, again).
See if that helps you out at all...
I had the same problem (Win7 64bit). Everything was working, but suddenly (I think after refactoring some stuff) javaw.exe was constantly using the cpu.
After clearing the netbeans cache, everything was working again (delete the contents of the cache folder and restart Netbeans).
%UserProfile%\.netbeans\6.9\var\cache\
I had to do this before after getting strange errors in Netbeans and most of the time it solved the problems. I think sometimes it just gets out of sync.
