Ok, so I did the following:
I had an Eclipse installation with the Scala Development Tools running. I installed the GPE (Google Plugin and GWT, no GAE) and restarted Eclipse. When starting, Eclipse hung on the boot-up screen when "Loading org.eclipse.jdt.core" consuming one of the two CPU cores with relatively constant memory consumption. When trying to close the boot-up screen Windows told me, that the application does not react and I force quit it.
So I removed all Google plugin jars from the plugins folder and Eclipse started fine again.
Second, I installed the GPE again, restarted Eclipse which hung again. I removed all Scala plugin jars and Eclipse started fine again.
I was using the official GPE (not the 2.1 Milestones) and the Scala Development Tools Nightly from
http://download.scala-ide.org/ which has support for Helios (build 1.0.0.201009022343).
Is anyone able to reproduce this?
Best regards
