By your own admission, the file was saved perfectly fine, so perhaps after the file was saved it triggered a screen refresh or a project reload or a rescanning of the files in your directory, or any number of things that could have hung due to something specific on your system like a lack of sufficient memory or some file locked by another process, or whatever. You're also making a big assumption that this is a bug in counterclockwise, and not a problem with Eclipse itself. I wouldn't exactly call Eclipse a rock-solid development environment. I understand why you feel freaked out, because it is extremely disturbing to potentially lose work, but there's not much of a foundation here for your fear that the integrity of your data was put at risk, at least, not any more so than any other random crash that can happen when using any modern IDE, or, say, a power outage or hard drive failure. As others have said, source control is one of your best protections against many types of failure. In the meantime, this definitely seems worth reporting, through proper channels, if you genuinely care about making the product better. Although you say you only got a stacktrace, Eclipse logs a lot of information about what it is doing. Laurent could probably guide you through the process of sending him a copy of the log so he can see exactly where the failure occurred. Of course, if you don't really want to make counterclockwise better, then just move along and try a different development environment -- there are several to choose from. In my experience, Emacs, as one of the oldest development environments, is one of the most stable environments I've ever used -- I've kept Emacs open for weeks without it ever glitching. So if that's the most important thing for you, try Emacs. Ultimately, I decided I just don't like Emacs, and now I'm a happy Counterclockwise user. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
