Description Igor Foox 2006-01-20 20:08:26 UTC 
Description of problem:
A completely bizzare bug. Opening up eclipse it hung for a few minutes, taking
the whole machine with it so that mouse movement was very choppy. After a few
minutes it subsided and I started actually seeing a progress bar. After that
eclipse opened up and I had a message from the latest eclipse-bugzilla, the
message was the same that we were getting with GCC4.1 (when it tries to refresh
the repository metadata). Then one of the Java files that was previously opened
could not be opened with the following error message displayed *inside* that
editor's tab:
"
Unable to create this part due to an internal error. Reason for the failure: The
editor class could not be instantiate. This usually indicates that the editor's
class name was mistyped in plugin.xml.
"

When clicking on the "Details" plugin I get a huge stack trace, which I am
attaching.

I'll try to reproduce this but it looks like a very weird anomaly.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gcc-4.0.2-8.fc4.i386
eclipse-platform-3.1.1-1jpp_1fc.FC4.12.i386
java-1.4.2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-40jpp_31rh.FC4.2.i386

How reproducible:
Not directly reproducible so far, but bugging just in case it comes up again.

Steps to Reproduce:

  
Actual results:

Should we leave this open?  You mentioned it's difficult to reproduce ...
Comment 3 Igor Foox 2006-02-07 18:19:12 UTC 
We can close it, I just filed it in case it ever comes up which it seems it won't.

Okay, thanks.
