Eclipse keeps freezing [message #546800]

Hi,
I have run into some problems with eclipse and hope that someone here can help me.
After installing a JDK (Java 6 Update 21) eclipse freezes when I try to open an java editor.

I've tried the 64bit version of Helios in combination with Java 6
Update 21 (64bit), as well as the 32bits version of Helios in
combination with the 32bit version of the JDK (after uninstalling the
64bit versions), both on the same 64bit Windows 7 computer.
When I force eclipse to close I get the error message:
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------- --------------------------------------------------
Java was started but returned exit code= -805306369

The Eclipse launcher for Windows has a problem with the latest
Oracle/Sun Java VM update (java version "1.6.0_21"). You have two
choices to workaround this:

1. switch back to Update 20
2. add the following line after "-vmargs" to your eclipse.ini:
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

For more details see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=319514

Thanks for the quick response.
That seems to work.

Hi,
I have had a similar problem (Java was started but returned error code=-805306369) and I have been trying several of the suggested solutions but to no avail. I tried adding the -vmargs lines to my eclipse.ini and that seemed to work for a week or so, and then the problems returned. I then went back to update 20 of jdk1.6.0, but that didn't seem to work. I have since updated to update 22, hoping that the problems had been solved there, but no joy. I have done more searches for a solution. My laptop uses 64bit Windows with Helios 3.61 and there were some suggestions that this was a TexLipse spell check error, and that I should reset it to the defaults, but this made no impact either. There are no errors in the general error log, just warnings.

Did you specify the JVM in your eclipse.ini file, as described in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini

I tried with 64 bit version 24 and it doesn't work. Has anyone gotten a later version to work?

Note that since update 20 is no longer current, it's not on Oracle's regular download page. Instead, you can download it from www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html

Make sure that Eclipse indeed uses that VM and also verify that you use
64-bit Eclipse. If that is not working then please file a bug as the
problem is not related to what's discussed in this thread.

I faced this Eclipse hanging issue quite often on my Windows7 64-bit laptop & was clueless about this. I did some R&D on the eclipse process that was running on my laptop along with some search on internet & then did this fix. It resolved the issue for me.

Root cause- When we launch Eclipse by running the eclipse.exe it was picking up the javaw executable that came with Windows7 Lenevo laptop by default. This javaw is not part of the JDK that I installed under Program Files rather can be found under C:\Windows\system32 folder. Since it is in the system path eclipse picks this one instead of the JDK's javaw that I installed at C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22. The default java of windows7 is of version was 1.7.0.

Solution - Right click on your eclipse shortcut(create one if not there already) -> Go to properties. Give the following value in Target box.

"C:\Program Files (x86)\eclipse\eclipse.exe" -vm "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_22\bin\javaw"

Restart Eclipse.

For me this fix resolved the issue as eclipse is now running on JDK_1.6 JVM.

I had this problem on my LENOVO W530/64 bit/Windows 7 machine & none of the solution worked except the below one

1. Uninstall all the 64 bit JDK/JRE
2. Download and Install JDK from www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html JDK1.6.20 (i586) 32 bit version
3. Download the 32 bit Eclipse
All works fine Razz
