OS X 10.5.6.
My Eclipse 3.4 is going crazy lately.
After innocent operations like typing text or moving some files in Navigator view or saving, it sometimes starts ‘waiting on background operation’, and eats one CPU core, shuffling back and forth tens of megabytes of memory.
I suspect some of plug-ins went rogue.
How can I find which one it is (except for binary search)?
You can also try to start your eclipse with the
option.
And then launch
As said in this question about eclipse memory. You will be able to monitor a lot of runtime details, provided you are launching your eclipse with a 1.6 JVM.
Try also those settings and check if your problems persist with them.
