Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I created a Dynamic web project. Added one or two JSP modules. When I double-clicked on one of the JSP modules, system 1) sometimes crawls 2)sometimes hangs 3)sometimes aborts without warning 4)sometimes gives unhandled eventloop exception.

I have Windows XP with 1 GB RAM.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Launch eclipse (double-click on the eclipse.exe file/shortcut)
2. (optional)Register JBOSS 4.2 as an application server.
3.Create a new Dynamic web project. 
  3.1 Click File/New
  3.2 Select Web/Dynamic Web Project
  3.3 Give a name (like hello)
  2.4 Click Finish.
  2.5 The new project is created and appears in the list of projects panel.
3.Add a JSP module in the WebContent folder.
4.Double-click the created .JSP file to open it. 
5. System hangs, aborts or gives unhandled eventloop exception.

DOS Command java -version gives following result.

Java version 1.6.0_21.
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java Hotspot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

My guess is you need to provide more memory to your JVM. Edit the eclipse.ini file and change the -Xmx value to be higher and see if the problem goes away. If not, please reopen this.
