Build Identifier: 20100917-0705 Recently i am facing problem with eclipse in startup takes long time. The following scenarios happens when starting eclipse. 1. Splash itself takes times to come. 2. Loading eclipse takes time (atleat 4-5 mins), once we select the workspace.( there is only one project in workspace) 3.Launching Run/Debug configuration takes time (atleast 5 mins) 4. And while installing the plugin using update site (where the server is local & plugin deplyed in the same server) calculating dependencise takes atleast 10 mins. but otherwise all other steps goes through smooth. I recently went through some of the bugs on the slowliness behavior and applied the workaround that is specified in the link http://http://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_run_Eclipse%3F#Oracle.2FSun_VM_1.6.0_21_on_Windows But no luck. The problem still exist. And daily life development this issue is affecting majorly. Hape someone can quickly help me out fixing the issue. Java Used: java version "1.6.0_24" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_24-b07) Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 19.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing) Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: The above mentioned points 1,2 & 3 happens every first time start. The point number 4 happens all the time.
Which package (RCP/JEE/etc) do you have? Do you have any additional plugins installed?
(In reply to comment #1) > Which package (RCP/JEE/etc) do you have? Do you have any additional plugins > installed? Yes, it has the modelling packages (GMF,EMF & GEF) installed and EPF.
I suspect it could be one of those extra plugins you have. Can you try with the plain modelling package without any additional plugins on a fresh workspace? If that works, then we can forward this to EPF.

If > that works, then we can forward this to EPF. Nope, its not a problem with the plugin. I just installed a plain Eclipse Helios-SR1 and still face the same. issue. it tool almost 5-6 mins to open the Workspace launcher dialog. I have not installed any extra plugins here.
More Observation. This problem has been happening for the last 3 weeks. Before that the same helios SR1 with the the above mentioned plugin was working fine. Now even starting Galileo takes time (which we were using earlier to do development).

I suggest you take some snapshots and attach them here, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/How_to_report_a_deadlock#Getting_a_stack_trace_on_Windows
I have started it in a fresh workspace and the problem exist. And its not my machine. The whole of our team facing the same issue in the mentioned places.
Could it be related to the .eclipse folder? See bug 337012.
Can you try with a fresh build from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6.2-201102101200/index.php And please attach the stack traces.

Hi Dani, I am not able to access the above mentioned link. But i downloaded eclipse with the following version & build ID. Version: Helios Service Release 2 Build id: 20110213-1648 And i observed the same issue and there is no stack traces. In between, i will try taking the snapshots using the below link & update it here. http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/How_to_report_a_deadlock#Getting_a_stack_trace_on_Windows May be will get a clue with that.
Created attachment 189918 [details] Thread dump Attaching the thread dump using jvisualvm.
(In reply to comment #11) > Created attachment 189918 [details] > Thread dump > > Attaching the thread dump using jvisualvm. This doesn't seem to be a stack trace from starting Eclipse. I think we need to focus on each issue/scenario separately. You say that with a fresh workspace, startup is very slow too. Can you attach stack traces for that scenario? >But i downloaded eclipse with >the following version & build ID. >Version: Helios Service Release 2 >Build id: 20110213-1648 Can you provide the link that points to the version/download you use?

So this indicates to me that something in your env has changed: a) Did you install a new Antivirus Software b) Is Eclipse Running on a network share and e.g. a) was done on the server, ...

Yes, there is a regular Antivirus updates happens with the machines.But, it would be interesting how that can affect the eclipse. So that i will talk to system admins to take a look at it. b). No, eclipse runs locally only on everyone's machine. But, we go through proxy servers to connect to internet. Will that have some effect on eclipse performance? What i mean is, is it trying to connect through proxy to something and is it taking time?

Eclipse is build from many different .jars and if you AV-Software e.g. intercepts every read of the them you might get into trouble. Eclipse Components e.g. Equinox also store a lot of cache informations and IIRC so does e.g. JDT to built up search indices, ... .

Will update the status once done.

Some controllers have the bad habit to fall back to PIO only mode at some random point.

The best way to check is to use your/friends personal PC and try out the same version. If it loads faster, then the issue might be with your AV/other corporate software you have at office.

> Anand, > Any updates on this? Does it has the sample problem beyond your office > PCs? Yes guys, There is some good news. It seems to be because of AV software. We have put some filter on AV software to avoid jar's and eclipse. This makes eclipse to work normal. We are in observation with all the team members.But its working fine with me. I will give another update tomorrow and close this issue, if i get positive feedback from everyone.
Hey All, Its working fine after updating the AV software with exclusion eclipse related artifacts. Thanks for your help. Will close this issue
