Eclipse will freeze while typing c++ code in the editor, resulting in the spinning beachball and requiring a forced quit. This can happen every few minutes, sometimes it happens after an hour or two. I feel it might have something to do with cmd+space autocomplete or with autosaving because it happens at odd intervals.  No repro steps other than
-Start eclipse,
-author c++ class, using cmd space to autocomplete. Eventually, it will freeze and require a forced quit.  -Restart, type a few lines, it freezes, force quit.

I've updated cdt  to latest and this has not solved the problem.


Reproducible: Sometimes

Stack Dump and My System Specs,

This was obtained from the force-quit dialog.

Do you give eclipse enough memory with -Xmx and XXMaxPermSize?

The dump you provided does not show eclipse stack but rather JVM itself. Could you try http://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock ?
