Since today, Eclipse locks up when an error is printed to the console during JUnit tests.
Using jstat, I can see that it hangs in java.util.regex.Pattern$Curly.match0(Pattern.java:3782)
How can I find out which regexp causes the problem?
Note that I didn’t install anything nor did I change any prefs; my guess is that a change in the code triggered a lingering problem in an existing regexp.
This is Bug 175888 – ConsolePatternMatcher causes large delays with some large input
I have attached a patch which shows the regexp that causes the problem.
