When an error happens while running a RCP-Project, Eclipse shows the location of the error in the Console view. You can click on the filename and Eclipse will immediately opened the file and put the cursor in the correct line.

Since a few days it takes my Eclipse installation very long to do that (several minutes).
In the Progress view I see a “Searching” process running and after a long time the file will be opened.

Do you have any ideas what could be the cause of that long duration?

Or how I could find out what Eclipse is doing while taking so long?

Update:
Setting up a completely new workspace solved the problem. In the new workspace opening the error location works fine.

I’d still like to know what I could do in such a case to find out what Eclipse is working on (and taking so long for).

    I’d imagine that a good jumping off point might be the class org.eclipse.ui.internal.console.FollowHyperlinkAction.

    If you set a breakpoint in FollowHyperlinkAction.run(), you could walk down into IHyperlink.linkActivated() and see just what’s going on.
