Up until a couple of days ago I was able to start MyEclipse Blue 2014 with no problems and open all of my workspaces with no problems. However just 2 days ago it started hanging on startup of existing workspaces. The splash screen just stops progressing at this point “Loading org.ecipse.jdt.core” and never recovers. I end up having to end the javaw.exe process in order to be able to do anything on my PC. I have asked other developers here if they are seeing the same issue but none of them are seeing the issue. If I try to open a brand new workspace it works fine but existing ones don’t. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Myeclipse software and still see the same issues. Attaching:
– Screenshot of startup
– Screenshot of dump after killing the process

Hi,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

Can you check some more steps ?

1. Are your existing workspaces large? Can you try increasing the memory settings (-Xmx value) in the myeclipse.ini file and see if it fixes the issue?

2. If the above does not fix the issue, then delete the .metadata folder (<workspace dir>/.metadata ) in the workspace and try starting MyEclipse.

3. If you are still seeing issues, please share the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log to help us investigate further.

Let us know how it works for you.

Hi swapna,

I tried the first two suggestions. I increased the memory to 4096m and tried to delete the .metadata folder for the workspace neither of which worked. It still hangs at the same spot. These workspaces can be around 1GB in size. I am attaching the .log file for you.

Thanks

Hi,

Sorry that you are still seeing issues. Thank you for the log file. I am afraid the log file does not contain any errors specific to the issue.

Can you please send us the java dump file for further investigation? You might find them in the MyEclipse install location (the directory with the myeclipse executable), with a name starting “hs_err_pid”. If its not created in the MyEclipse install location, then look in the Temp directory or on the Desktop.

As the problem doesn’t occur with a new workspace, you could import all the projects into a new workspace. If all of your old projects exist in a single directory or in a single parent directory, you can go to File -> Import -> General > Existing Projects into workspace. Choose a root directory that is a parent all of the projects you want to import. You will then be able to import all of the projects at once. Remember to check the ‘Copy projects into workspace’ option.

The issue I had was that there were some jar files that had gotten corrupted in my .m2 repository. It kept hanging up in some workspaces when starting on “Updating Maven Dependencies”. I narrowed it down to that because I tried to delete my local m2 repo and some of the jars would not delete. I kept getting an error saying it could not delete because of a disk IO error. So I ran a check disk on the laptop. After hours of it running it finished and I could delete the files. After that I was able to successfully open the workspaces and everything was fine.
