Build Identifier: I20100608-0911 I have installed Eclipse in 64 bit cocoa flavor and wiped it out nearly 6 times now andn every time I run into the same issue. Eclipse hangs up on me and starts throwing all sorts of errors at me about workspace and memory and builds. I then installed 32 bit version and it all works fine, although it is a bit slower than the 3.4 version I was using before. For further debugging I am attaching the thread dump here. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Eclipse Helios with 64 bit cocoa on Mac OS X 2. Open the workspace and get on with usual business of checking out SVN project and building it 3. Thats it it will hand

(In reply to comment #0) > ... Eclipse hangs up on me and > starts throwing all sorts of errors at me about workspace and memory and > builds. So, does it hang up or does it throw all sorts of errors? The attached stack trace does not show a deadlock, rather the main thread reporting a error. What do the "all sorts of errors" say? Can you attach a log file with them?

There are a bunch of out of memory errors in the log: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space The 64-bit VMs consume more memory, so it is quite possible that the default heap size works for your app in 32bit VM, but not 64bit VM. Also, depending on the application, VM, and OS some more involved arguments might help, such as "UseParallelGC" / "UseSerialGC".If simply increasing heap space does not help, do a search on those arguments on VM support forums.
