Perspective switch broken in Kepler M6 [message #1021669] Wed, 20 March 2013 09:36 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hi,

while working with Kepler M6 I noticed that sometimes the perspective switch is not working anymore. Trying to perform a perspective switch via toolbar only some views try to change, but the perspective stays. It is even not possible anymore to restart Eclipse via File -> Restart. This state is not recoverable. The only way to get Eclipse working correctly again is to shut it down and restart it.

I noticed that behaviour when switching between Plugin-Development perspective and Git or Debug perspective. This only happens sometimes and I can not tell what causes this. I only switch the perspectives via perspective toolbar.

Is this a known issue?

Greez,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

I have seen this as well. When it happened I blamed it on the mem comsumption
but it did strike me as strange.

Can you reproduce? Do you have logs?

Regards,

Wim

Hi Wim,

no I can't reproduce it nor do I have logs. I will check the logs the next time it happens, but I guess there won't be much information. This happened now the third time to me in a week. At first I also thought of some issue in my environment.

Greez,
Dirk

Hi,

today I got the same error again. Looking into the log I found the following error:

Not sure if this is somehow related, but the exception now occurs if I try to change the perspective via perspective toolbar.

Hopefully this helps in finding the error.
