If I run dtruss on the eclipse process, it just reports gettimeofday calls by the thousands.  (ie, it looks like it's just spinning, chewing CPU like crazy.)

Assigning to Jason for initial investigation.

On further investigation, I think this might be https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=327801 .  I'll try the suggested patch there and see if it matters.

Verified it's a duplicate of 327801.  The patch for that issue fixes it.  Further, it was something in m2eclipse-extras WTP integration that was tickling the bug in my case.
