I am using eclipse to develop a project in Java on linux (Redhat 9 and
Sun's JDK1.4.2_05)
I have been using eclipse 3.0.1 for 2 or 3 months but in the last couple
of
weeks, I've had some real problems with it (I haven't knowingly changed
anything).
It is frequently slow, so it takes 2 or 3 seconds for text I was typing to
appear.
And worse, when I switch to another window (on another desktop) and then
switch back to eclipse, eclipse freezes. It won't repaint, so its just a
gray background with 3 white boxes where the editor, perspective viewer
and console where.
Sometimes I can click where I think the File menu should be, and a blank
menu (without border) appears. Also, when I move my mouse cursor over
where the divider should be, between the perspective viewer and editor,
the cursor changes to indicate that I can move the divider. I can click on
it and resize the white boxes that have taken the place of the perspective
viewer and editor.
No keyboard shortcuts work.
This happens 2 or 3 times a day.
My only recourse has been to kill eclipse and start over, wasting 5 or 10
minutes (eclipse does take a while to start up too).
I really want to fix this problem becuase I don't want to have to deal
with problems with whatever IDE I'm using, I want to work on my project.
:)

Sounds like your CPU is getting hammered. Check your CPU monitor (or
top). Have you recently installed any new plugins in Eclipse?
Simple question, but have you tried a clean install of Eclipse?
