I'm hitting two problems with Eclipse, don't know if they're related but they began about the same time. Hoping for some pointers to troubleshoot.
I'm developing with Servoy 5.2.16 on Mac OSX10.8.5, Java 1.6.0_51-b11-457. The java version is the one Mac offers to download after a recent OS update. (I haven't made the jump to Mavericks after reading the forum).
The first problem is a recurring one with the workspace. From time to time Eclipse chokes about 90% through on the splash screen when opening. I can see that servoy server is running. I've had a poke around for logs but not sure what I am looking for, nothing sticks out. If I force-quit and rename the workspace, then Eclipse can open with out trouble to a new empty workspace. If I then switch to the renamed workspace it chokes again, suggesting that something is corrupt in the workspace. My workaround is to load my solution from the SVN in to a fresh workspace - something I'm getting good at
I'm aware that large files can cause issues, so I am particular to close all files before closing Eclipse.
The second issue has become more frequent, and may be the cause of the first. When I open a .js file in Eclipse it will sometimes crash, with the spinning rainbow beachball of death. Only option here is to force quit. I thought file size might be an issue, but I checked and it also dies on small files of just a few kb. I believe it's related to the DLTK, because I can open .js files from the Search or the Resource Perspective by right-clicking on the filename and choosing Open With > Text Editor rather than DLTK Javascript Editor. Trying to edit JS in plain vanilla isn't much fun, so I'd like to figure out why I can't open with DTLK editor.
Thanks for any tips that might get me to the bottom of this.
