Does anyone else have a problem with the Freemarker plug-in hanging after a certain amount
of time?
It happens to me fairly consistently when making changes to a larger FreeMarker template.
It seems to happen, after a certain amount of time, exactly when I make change in the
editor window that causes the content to get reparsed. I often see the outline view flash
when it happens. When it happens, Eclipse becomes completely unresponsive, including the
painter thread. (The Eclipse GUI stops updating). The only way to recover is to
ctrl-alt-delete Eclipse. I don't have problems with Eclipse hanging any other time.
These hangs have been happening to me for the past ...two years?, using multiple versions
of Eclipse and the FreeMarker plugin. I haven't seen others similar postings about
this anywhere, so perhaps it has something subtle to do with how I set up my
templates/HTML code specifically? I've also tried multiple memory settings, etc., all
to no avail. It's a real pain. I tried switching to Intellij for a while as it's
has an okay freemarker plugin, but I'd prefer to stay in Eclipse.
Fwiw:
- Windows XP, SP2
- Eclipse 3.4.1 (M20080911-1700)
- FreeMarker IDE 1.0.2.GA
If anyone has suggestions on how to debug this further, please let me know. I don't
see a stack trace, JVM dump, or any other useful info. from the hangs. (Perhaps I can try
running Eclipse in a console window and then try ctrl-breaking the java process when it
hangs? ...assuming that's possible on Windows with Eclipse.)
