I found that this problem can be solved by deleting (or renaming) the following directory:

WORKSPACE_HOME/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects

This doesn't seem to have effected my workspace adversely.

Thank you for posting your findings here for us.

I backed up the <workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources\.projects directory and then deleted all of the files, leaving the directory structure intact. After restarting with the -clean option everything seems to be working.

I left out a step: I had to re-share the projects in SVN.

Right-click the project -> Share -> SVN -> Next > Finish

It might take a few seconds.

I have had the same problem recently. Initializing java tooliing hangs (this time) at 1%

The previously mentioned work-around of getting rid of the .metadata/[..]/.projects dir worked.

But to add a bit of maybe useful extra information:

This started after I had an interruption in my network, and eclipse was unable to save my open files or my workspace. In fact, I had to force-quit eclipse.

On restarting, when it hung in Initializing Java Tooling, and I went to quit the app, a dialog came up that there were ongoing user processes:
Initializing Java Tooling, with the apparent subtask of
configuring classpath containers

maybe that is helpful.

cheers,

kamb

Oh, I should probably mention that I am running on Windows, and I am NOT running a MyEclipse distro.

James,

Thanks for the trick. It seems the quick dirty way to get around this long-standing MyEclipse issue.

In addition, I think you have to move the old .projects directory back. Otherwise, you will loose project information, such as CVS settings.

Simply deleting the .lock file also solved the problem for me running Eclipse 3.5.1 on Ubuntu.

Thanks for the tip - I was having this problem with *regular* Eclipse, and forcing it to rebuild what seems to be a resource cache solved it.

And just to clean MyEclipse's name on this (I used to be a happy MyEclipse user - it is worth its money when you don't want auto-setup of everything): this seems to be a "regular Eclipse" issue.

Has anyone been able to find a long term solution to this problem ? I first encountered this middle of Feb 2010, and still haven't had success.

I've tried most, if not all, of the approaches on this thread and have had only temporary relief (stays working for 1-2 workspace restarts). The fastest way I've been able to reproduce this problem, after applying one of the relief mechanisms is shown as follows:

1. Remove the org.eclipse.jdt.core folder within <Workspace-Dir>\.metadata\.plugins\
2. Restart <Installation-Dir>\MyEclipse 8.0\myeclipse.exe
3. View the start-up Progress tab show. It shows
Checking for Updates ...(100%)
and then everything is fine
4. Close and restart MyEclipse again, and viewing the Progress tab shows

Checking for Updates ...(100%)

Initializing Java Tooling...(1%)

And hangs there forever. Using the stop button in the Progress panel shows

Initializing Java Tooling (Cancel Requested)

and hangs there. Closing the Workspace window has similar results. A smaller panel pops up instead and displays something like

Progress Information
Saving workspace.
Saving workbench state.
Initializing Java Tooling (Cancel Requested)

MyEclipse 8.0 Installation Details
---------------------------------------

MyEclipse 8.0 Plugin View After Auto Update
-------------------------------------------------------

The Workbench Logs after the cleanup shows
---------------------------------------------------------------

The Workbench Logs after the restart (during the hangup) shows pretty much the same except for the timestamps and a WidgetMethodHandler object
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from taking up valuable screen space on this post, I wonder if the logs are any help at all !? One point I wish to make is that I've been using version 8.0 since it came out and I "HAVE NOT" added any new plugins since Dec 2009. The problem first showed up somewhere in the middle of Feb, after the periodic and automated MyEclipse update check during startup. I did not have this or any related problem with Release 7.5.

Support guys, any idea why this happens ?

Thanks,
archville

archville,

Can you copy and paste contents of your MyEclipse.ini file? MyEclipse.ini(configuration settings) file is located in your MyEclipse installation dir. Can you verify if the contents is in the similar lines?

-startup
../../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
--launcher.library

The contents of my myeclipse.ini is pretty much the same as yours, except for the installation path, and one of the memory parameters, '-Xmx'. Here it is for your reference:

archville,

Thank you for the details. Can you bump up the -Xmx to 768, restart your IDE and give it a shot?

I just did. The "Initializing Java Tooling (1%)" just sits there. At least for 15 mins.
