Build Identifier: M20100211-1343 In my project, I am running a JUnit plugin test suite that makes a large workspace, at least in terms of the number of files (~20,000) and directories (~5,000). The absolute size of the created workspace isn't very large; about 100 MB. If I try to relaunch the suite again, Eclipse appears to freeze for a few minutes. I have set the suite to clear the entire workspace. Upon further investigation it looks like it freezes while it is clearing the workspace; once the workspace is empty, Eclipse unfreezes and continues as normal. I'm not sure if this is an issue in the way that the workspace is cleared; does Eclipse recurse over the workspace directory and delete each file individually? I had a look around in the JDT, JUnit and Debug Launching source code and couldn't find a reference to where it creates or refreshes the target workspace. I think in the meantime I can workaround this by simply deleting the directory manually before re-launching the JUnit plugin test suite, but this seems like an unnecessary step for something as trivial as clearing a directory. Not sure where this should be filed in the bugzilla. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run a JUnit plugin test suite that has a specified Workspace directory, which creates about 100 MB of workspace data in 20,000 files. 2. Try to relaunch the plugin test suite once it has completed. 3. Observe Eclipse appears to freeze until the workspace has been cleared.
I tested deleting the folder manually using `rmdir /s`. For 39540 files across 11843 directories, it took approximately 110 seconds; about 25% of the time needed for Eclipse to remove the contents. Is this a reasonable increase in cost for Java/Eclipse?

Created attachment 167644 [details] tracedump from JVisualVM Attached is the thread dump from JVisualVM, it looks like it is busy deleting directories recursively. I didn't realise there is no way in Java to delete a non-empty folder directly.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
Please remove the stalebug flag, if this issue is still relevant and can be reproduced on the latest release.
