Question

Eclipse 3.7, trying to build my first RCP program.
when I active the plugin perspective I have the following error 5 times:

Timed out while retrieving the attached javadoc for PrintStream [in PrintStream.class [in java.io [in C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\lib\rt.jar]]]

The Call Stack:

Apparently same problem is also described in:
Eclipse times out when trying to show Javadoc for classes in rt.jar

The solution to your problem might be similar; Eclipse is looking at probably the wrong JDK installation.
Try to add a reference to your local JDK in Preferences > Java > Installed JREs and removing the reference to your JRE.
