Java Development

[rcmaniac25]

Running Eclipse Galileo (20090917-0800), BlackBerry plugin (1.1 beta 2), JDK 1.6u17

Something defiantly is "happening" because I type the sample and when I get to 'e' nothing is happening still then when I type 'l' Eclipse freezes for about 10 sec, greys out (running Vista), then comes back and everything is fine.

No disappearing Eclipse

I have the same problem, using similar environment. I use Windows XP and Eclipse doesn't restat automatically.

Eclipse will exit each time I press "." after a BlackBerry class in the Editor.

Workaround for me: Disable Auto Activation under Window/Preferences/Java/Editor/Content Asist

I hope BlackBerry will provide a fix soon, because this is a very useful and nice feature.

Tried downloading the 4.x.x SDKs, as Mark suggested, but it looks like the BlackBerry download site is returning 500 errors to Eclipse. Argh!!!

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed

Is there a mechanism to install the SDKs manually?

Please contact devsupport@rim.com with your Developer Zone user name (your email address), IP address, your location and the time you attempted the download for further help on the 500 error.

I am also seeing the issue of Eclipse crashing randomly when using auto-complete and I am not using the 5.0 SDK. My setup:

BlackBerry Java Plug-in 

Version:  1.1.1.200911111641-15

BlackBerry Java SDK

Version:  4.7.0.53

All, I have been experiencing the same issue as well and instead of disabling auto-activation I increased the Auto-Activation delay value to 700 and haven't had any problems since.

Hope this works for everyone!!!

Hi all,

I'm late to the game, but I am just now having the same issue.  My setup is as follows...

Eclipse IDE For Java Developers (Build id: 20090619-0625)

Eclipse Platform Version: 3.5.0.v20090611a

Blackberry Java SDK version: 4.6.1.36 (I have the 5.0 SDK installed, but not used for this specific project)

Blackberry Java Plug-in Version: 1.1.2.201003212304-12

However, I've been running this setup for a while now (since 4/7/2010), and the issue just started happening randomly yesterday (it happened maybe a week ago, but a restart helped).

I also tried changing the auto-activation delay to 700.  It took a tad longer to happen, but happened after a while.  I can always seem to recreate this when trying to use the setTime() method on the Calendar class.  Example:

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance ( TimeZone.getDefault() );

// I have code that creates a Date object

cal.setTIme( Date object ) -- Normally either right when or soon after the period is entered, Eclipse just disappears.

Any updates on this issue?

The issue that I had referred to above was resolved in version 1.1.2.

I wasn't able to reproduce the Calendar crash issue you report.  Can you see if this can be reproduced from a fresh workspace?  What version of Windows are you running?
