I use Eclipse for programming in PHP and Java(Android) and sometimes Python, unfortunately Eclipse is nowadays much more often freezing.
Often when I write this bracket “[” for defining an array in PHP, Eclipse just freeze and I have to close it manualy and start again.
I’ve noted also, that Eclipse is consuming really much of my RAM… 200-300MiB of my available memory is nothing special. 🙁
Is there any way to check, what is consuming the memory in Eclipse and why it’s freezing?

I’m running on Windows Vista, 3GB RAM.

    Start by looking at the error log. Under Windows → Show View → Other → Error Log. See if you can find any errors.

    Another option is to try starting with a new Workspace (File → Switch Workspace). You can easily import your existing projects and see if the problem persists.

    I would also recommend upgrading to PDT 2.2, which is part of the upcoming Helios release (Eclipse 3.6).
