Most of time I run eclipse and it starts some processiong in background.
so sometime i need to kill it. And it corrupts my workspace. Is there
any way to take backup at startup or something ?

Thanks
Jigar

You can search for plugins at http://www.eclipse-plugins.info and
http://www.eclipseplugincentral.com/

However, it would be better to find the reason why it appears Eclipse is
hanging. What do you mean by "starts some processing?" What leads you to
believe it is hung? It should never be necessary to kill Eclipse, and
even doing so should not usually corrupt the workspace.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks for help.
Yes. I tried to find out reason for tht background process. but no luck.
I disabled automatically build workspace. I feel its because i have less
RAM (512MB) so when heap is full its starts something to clean up. And
eclipse freezes. CPU usage is 100% and that stays for almost 15 minutes.
In this cases i cannot delay my work. So i force kill eclipse.

Actually i am in the process of migrating my work environment from emacs
to eclipse. so do use emacs also simultaneously. Is that is causing some
problem ?

I got a better way to back workspace....a shell script that runs at
startup. :) Lets see how much it helps

If anyone has some way to figure out what starts in background it would
be helpful for me

You'll have to provide more details in order for us to help.
First, what version of Eclipse and OS?
For example of other details that will help: when you see your CPU go to
100% usage, what processes is using it? What amount of system memory is
being reported in use by Eclipse? Is your filesystem/disk being used
when this happens (there are various tools that monitor filesystem.disk
reading/writing)? What does the Eclipse Heap monitor report (it shows in
the lower-right corner when you enable the Preference > General > Show
Heap status)?
Obviously yours is a unique experience, otherwise there would be lots of
people reporting the same symptoms.

Eric is right in that there are a number of things running in the
background that can appear to lock-up Eclipse. I am on Microsoft 2000 OS
and MS Office will, at random times, grab 100% of the CPU. My problem was
not related to Eclipse, yet when the CPU went off the scale, I was working
in eclipse. Check what operations are using the CPU when your system
locks-up.
