Description Niccolo Machiavelli CLA 2010-07-15 09:09:27 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415  (64 bit Mac OS X Cocoa)

When editing a Java file, as soon as the syntax completion is triggered (by the . character) the beach ball of death appears and does not disappear again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Eclipse for a new Java project 
2. Create new source file with class containing main.
3. Try to add  "System.out.println("Hello World!);" to main method
   As soon as "System." ist typed, eclipse hangs - it can only be terminated by killing the process.
   Everything works if "Enable auto activation" is unchecked in the Java->Editor->Content Assist Preferences, but of course, then there is no help showing the available methods for a class.

Thread Dump in hung state

The threaddump-*.tdump contains the stack traces of all threads of eclipse after the typing of "." triggered the search for suggestions in the editor

I also made a fresh install of eclipse (same version) and my usual plugins on another machine. There the problem does not show itself, though I do not know what is different between the two installation.
