I started a new job and they gave me this brand new HP laptop which unfortunately has Vista on it. OK So I install Eclipse 3.2.2, MyEclipse 5.1.1, Java JDK 5.0, and Tomcat 6.0
The thing is crashing on my every day multiple times and I can’t figure out who to vent my frustrations to since there’s so many players involved.
Sometimes I set a break point in a Java file, and when I do something to trigger it it automatically opens my Debug window and pauses runtime but it never actually highlights the line and allows me to stpe through- it just HANGS there. So I try clicking that button to break all temrinated processes and it lets me continue and maybe if I am lucky the next time I trigger it it works. Other times the IDE just crashes straight to Windows.
Other times I will try to execute an ANT build while I got Tomcat running, and the IDE just freezes there. I am forced to shut it down via Task Manager after no changes for 10 minutes.
Sometimes when I click the Start/Run/Restart MyEclipse App Servers button it just stalls there indefinitely and again I have to shut it down.
It’s driving me crazy
A few things:
1) Download the MyEclipse 5.1.1 all-in-one installer and run the installation, installing it to C:\Users\<Your User Name>\Applications (you will need to create the Applications dir, it’ s just a personal convention I pulled over from Linux and Mac, as long as it’s under your Home dir, that’s fine)
Now launch and use that new installation of MyEclipse and see if it behaves a bit better. By using this method I’m trying to rule out:
* Permission issues that now occur in Vista with using C:\Program Files
* Optimized startup arguments that could explain the crashes and hands (the All In One installer will take care of this for you).You can run the new install and point it at your old workspace to pickup the old settings and you should be ready to rock and roll right away.
