Description Rick Rankin

As strange as it may sound, I do most of my editing, even for RPM specfiles, on a Windows-based laptop. Every time I open an RPM specfile in Eclipse with the Specfile Editor package installed, Eclipse starts trying to "Update RPM package proposal list" (that's the message I see in the status bar). Once the updating starts, it never stops, and there doesn't appear to be a way to cancel it. I've tried unchecking the preference for "Automatically build the RPM packages proposals list" in Preferences->Specfile Editor->RPM Completions; however, it appears that setting is ignored, at least on Windows.

For now, at least, all I'm interested in is the syntax highlighting functionality of the specfile editor, especially since I don't expect most of the functionality to work on a Windows platform. It would be very helpful if disabling this option prevented Eclipse from trying to update the proposals list.

I'm also on Windows, and I'm also experiencing this problem.
Eclipse Juno randomly starts doing this and eats all the CPU.
The only cure is Eclipse restart.

Version: Juno Release
Build id: 20120614-1722

I confirm this bug (using Eclipse Juno on Windows XP). As soon as i start building a project Juno starts RPM proposal update and never stops.

A workaround that works for me: go to you eclipse plugins directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\Eclipse\Plugins) and delete all files named org.eclipse.linuxtools.rpm.%

Another workaround, and this seems perfect for my needs.

Create an empty file 'C:\Users\your_account\.pkglist'.
This file path must equal to "Path to packages list file" given at
 Preferences->Specfile Editor->RPM Completions

Just after touching this file, proposal list update immediately stops.

Should be fixed in nightly builds now. Would someone please verify?

Closing as fixed for 2.0. Please reopen with details if the problem is still there.

Can someone on windows machine come up with a patch? I don't have access to such machine so it's up to others to test and fix.

Same here. I wanted to turn off "Automatically build the RPM packages proposals list" option by setting the default value in plugin_customization.ini, but it didn't work.

I tried to fix this, please see the attached patch.
The problem was that only the instance scope was used when searching the preference values, ignoring the default values set by user (default scope should be used for this case).

If someone can have a look, thanks!

Sorry for the long delay. We had to push Luna SR2 out (it was not possible to put your patch in it as the branch was closed for non-committer patches for weeks for IP-clearance. I'm looking into the patch for mars now.
