eclipse hangs on "Open Type" command [message #175490]

I'm using 3.0 and jdk 1.4.2_05 on winXP. My computer is fast and has a
gig RAM. I've also got the startup command configured to "–vmargs
–Xms128M -Xmx256M".

Sometimes eclipse seems to get in a state where doing a "Open Type",
i.e. ctrl-shift-T, hangs. It pops up a a dialog entitled "Progress
Information" that says "Searching..." and has a progress bar. But it
doesn't progress. I can leave it there for 10 minutes or more and
nothing happens. This can sometimes be fixed by doing a rebuild, a
refresh, or an open and close project. Other times -- like right now --
I can't fix it.

Strangly, on a related note, when this is occuring I have no problem
completing a class name in a java source file with ctrl-<Space>.

Any ideas?

As a followup w/ more info:

I've got one project open w/ about 1500 java files. they are split up
between to subdirs under the project. The two subdirs are in CVS.

Is there some caching or something that I can clear up that isn't
cleaned when I do a rebuild/refresh/open-close?

Also, strangly, "Open Resource" or ctrl-shift-R still works like a charm.

Can not really help but perhaps this can give you a hint

just a quote
from cghp8g$sae$1@eclipse.org

You can use ctrl+break to get the a state of the threads. So press
ctrl+t and look what thread is doing wich job.

I recognized part of my post :-) But this would not apply entirely. The Java
builder is not involved in the Open type... operation. You might want to
trace the index manager activity instead:

# Reports background indexer activity: indexing, saving index file, index
queries
org.eclipse.jdt.core/debug/indexmanager=true

I always learn the most when posting false things ;).
Good to know that the indexer has debug messages too.
