Opening a JSP editor results in eclipse not responding

[Alex]

Hi,

I have run into some problems with eclipse and hope that someone here
can help me.

I created a GAE project and wanted to experiment with some basic JSP
stuff.
I run into the known problem that I have to install a JDK.
After doing so, problems got worse. When I now try to create or edit a
JSP page, eclipse freezes.

I've tried the 64bit version of Helios in combination with Java 6
Update 21 (64bit), as well as the 32bits version of Helios in
combination with the 32bit version of the JDK (after uninstalling the
64bit versions), both on the same 64bit Windows 7 computer.

When I force eclipse to close I get the error message:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As a troubleshooting step I would suggest creating a java project that
is not a GAE project, and verifying that it works and you can edit
JSPs.

Alternatively you can uncheck in your existing project properties the
checkboxes "Use Google App Engine" and "This project has a war
directory" in the Google settings.

If it is a general Eclipse problem (not related to GAE), then other
java forums will be more helpful.

Also try a bare bones simple "hello world" size JSP. The JSP editors
in eclipse are slow and tend to break once in a while on big JSP files.

TL thanks for the reply.

I experimented with some basic plain Java code and the problem
persisted. So I post a message on the eclipse forum and got a
workaround.
Anyone who encounters the same problems can find the message thread on
the eclipse forum here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&goto=546810&

Remove your current Eclipse installation and reinstall. I think the problem is due to the fact that when you initially installed it you didn't have a jdk. Now that you have one it should work without a hitch.

Did that before I started this post, and it didn't work.
I uninstalled all JDK's and JRE's and deleted eclipse.
Installed the JDK (64bits) and Eclipse (64bits) but the problem
remained.
So I uninstalled everything again and installed the JDK (32bits) and
Eclipse (32bits) and still the problem remained.
That's why I'm so thankful for the workaround I got at the eclipse
forum.
