Eclipse configuration information

This is the complete configuration information from Eclipse Indigo.

> 1. Open a file in the editor.

What editor? A text editor? A Java editor? Does it happen if you copy text from a text field in some dialog window?

> 2. Highlight some text.

How many characters? Does it seem to matter?

By 'editor' I mean editing some code in eclipse. The default editor. I've turned off auto-completion, as I saw some references (old ones) to problems with that. It made no difference. 

I can highlight as little as three or four bytes, do Ctrl-C, and the heap usage just goes berserk.


    The only way out of this is to kill eclipse:

    JVM terminated. Exit code=1
    /usr/bin/java
    -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
    -jar /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
    -os linux
    -ws gtk
    -arch x86_64
    -showsplash
    -launcher /opt/eclipse/eclipse
    -name Eclipse
    --launcher.library
    /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.100.v20110505/eclipse_1407.so
    -startup /opt/eclipse//plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
    --launcher.overrideVmargs
    -exitdata 1158019

Here's a log file from the latest crash.

So it sounds like the memory usage goes up and Eclipse is actually stuck. Please attach a thread dump to this bug when Eclipse is hung.

Does the problem only occur for Python files?

Comment 7 Michael Martin 2011-08-19 12:09:19 EDT

yes, it appears to be pydev related. I opened an existing java project, and experienced no problems with copy and paste.

Comment 8 Michael Martin 2011-08-19 12:15:09 EDT

After the last crash, eclipse would not start at all. The splash screen was displayed, and the progress bar made it about 80%, then hung loading the workbench. I was able to restart by deleting the .metadata directory. I'm in the process of installing the plugins I need now.

Narrowing it down a little further, neither highlighting text nor doing Ctrl-C on highlighted text cause the problem. Heap memory usage spikes when Ctrl-V is used to actually paste the copied text.

Please open a bug with the developers of PyDev.
