FYI: I'm using a lot of Eclipse plugins. I was able to avoid this behaviour by increasing the max memory available to eclipse to 1124 MB See last line of my eclipse.ini:
-startup plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar --launcher.library plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.gtk.linux.x86_64_1.1.2.R36x_v20101019_1345 -product org.eclipse.epp.package.php.product --launcher.defaultAction openFile -showsplash org.eclipse.platform --launcher.XXMaxPermSize 256m --launcher.defaultAction openFile -vmargs -Djava.library.path=/usr/lib/jni -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx1124m I don't know what all these options do exactly. I found out by trial and error, and by researching the net. For example, there is a large discussion about these settings on stackoverflow.com: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/142357/what-are-the-best-jvm- settings-for-eclipse Recently I have reduced the Xmx param (because I only have 4 GB available, and 1124 MB just for Eclipse was just too much.) and the hanging behaviour reappeared. I think I'll go back to 1124 MB (it's actually 1024 MB plus some extra Memory for something else, for some reason) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/894470 Title: eclipse36 hangs, keyboard disabled EXCEPT for the SUPER key, mouse movable but no clicks processed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-6/+bug/894470/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
