Eclipse hangs while launching run-time workbench [message #274994]

Hi!

I've got a plugin-project which I'm testing by starting a run-time
workbench. Most of the time, this works fine, but every once in a while the
run-time workbench never starts. I get a splash-screen, then nothing
happens. Eventually the workbench starts, but after several minutes of
waiting.

The host machine runs Gentoo Linux, the Eclipse version is 3.0.1.

The run-time workbench does not consume any CPU; the Eclipse process is in
a waiting poll() call and the Java process is in a poll() loop.

Anybody recognize this behavior?

I realize this isn't a very good bugreport, but I'm all out of
ideas. Waiting 2-3 minutes every time I want to start a run-time workbench
isn't very fun. The 10-15 seconds it usually takes is bad enough.

You should get a stack trace from Eclipse and see where it is hung. I
think you might be seeing something like this:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=74498

Basically, if some application owns the clipboard and is unresponsive,
Eclipse can hang waiting for the clipboard contents. The timeout for
clipboard contents in GTK+ is 5 minutes.

If it's only hanging for 2-3 minutes this might not be the problem
though. You should probably file a bug report with a stack trace (you
can get one by sending the java process a kill -3).

Or you could be affected by

Bug 38746 ("https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38746")
Bug 75454 ("https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=75454")

If not, filing a bug is definitely a good idea.

cheers,
d.
