-jar C:\local\eclipse\startup.jar
-os win32

Description
———————–
I was using the above config without any problems till now for a month.
i had some small projects configured and Running properly like
LibraryWeb Demo Application and others.
i was successfully running it on both servers specified above

Today i was trying to configure a fairly big JSP project

i first created a blank project econify
then i imported my web folder into the WebRoot
the web folder contains jsp’s, images, logs etc.

there were some erros in tags and include directive paths like below
File “/jsp/admin/group/../UserSession.jsp” not found. NOTE: No JSP line number was avaliable so line 1 was used for the marker.
which i corrected by adjusting ../ thing to the actual path of file
some referencing errors are still there due to classes used which will be found in web-inf

then i imported src files and set the buildpath properly
all the references were properly set and no errors.

and then when i change code in JSP it starts building workspace automatically
and crashes the whole app.
so far there is no question of any app server involded yet
and also i checked the exe inside system32.
its the same as in my jdk installtion(its latest and not of any old version
as suggested in some myeclipse post)

please help asap.

thanks jags

RESPONSE TO SCOTT
—————————-
Hi Scott

First of all i should commend you on your prompt
action
its really amazing.keep it up.

i am still getting the Forbidden Error for
Apache when i try to post the problem in forums
so replying u back here.

And Now the Status of my problem
—————————————–
i tried your solution and also explicitly
specified the VM

C:\local\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vm
C:\local\jdk\bin\javaw -clean -vmargs
-Duser.language=en -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M
-Dosgi.splashLocation=”C:\local\MyEclipse\eclipse\MyEclipseSplash.bmp”

but still eclipse crashes out while building workspace

so now i have turned of Automatic JSP Validation
which avoids crashing.
but now when i right click on JSP and select
Validate JSP i sometimes get proper message like
“Valid JSP FIle” or “Invalid JSP File”
but sometimes it simply crashes out.
mainly the errors are of JSP:include tags having
wrong path references.

please help

Jags,
This is a very strange issue and Scott’s reply was definately the first step in figuring out what is going on. Be sure to keep Scott’s command line parameters. Here are some things we can try:

1) You can update your JDK to 1.4.2_09 and remove our old _04 version, in the past JDK upgrades have helped to fix some strange issues like this.
2) If that doesn’t work, try creating a new workspace: File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK to restart.
3) Now create a new blank project, and instead of dragging-and-dropping your WebRoot folder in, drag and drop your /src folder in first and setup your source and output directories accordingly. Now try and drag and drop only PIECES of your giant project into the webroot, one folder at a time. Each tiem you drop new JSPs in, make sure the JSPs are building/validating. Keep going until it finally dies. Try and keep track of where it stopped. When you restart Eclipse, try and drop the same folder in, if it crashes again, try and drag a different folder in. I wonder if there is something about a certain file in the project that is causing the validator to blow up.
