bkgadam,
Extremely sorry for this experience with MyEclipse.
1. Can you please check if you see the problem with a new workspace as well? Please import your project to a fresh new workspace to rule out workspace specific issues. If MyEclipse still freezes, then please share with us the .log file located at workspace dir/.metadata/.log (Rename the extension to .txt and attach it here)
2. If the freeze is only seen with the original STS workspace, then please share the .log file from that workspace.
3. Does the IDE freeze only when performing a specific action like editing/saving files?
4. Are you working with a large workspace? i.e large projects with many files? Please share with us more details about the number of projects in the workspace, the size of projects including the number of files (approximately).
5. For the UI freeze, we also need the thread dumps to help us figure out what process is running. To take a thread dump, you will need to run
jstack -l 9000 > dump1.txt
Please replace 9000 with the PID of the MyEclipse process, the jstack program can be found in the bin directory of any JDK installation. If you can generate 3-4 dumps (sent to different files, of course) during the period of freeze, and attach those files here, that could help a great deal.
Apologies for inconvenience caused.
