dev-util/eclipse-sdk-3.3.1.1-r1 with * x11-libs/gtk+ Latest version available: 2.12.8 using 32bit and 64bit versions of eclipse I get a consistent 20sec pause when opening any file in eclipse 3.3 Note: eclipse doesn't hang or crash, every editor window or tab is just very slow to open. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. eclipse-3.3 2. try to open a file in the editor (e.g. File -> open) 3. wait 20sec or more 4. repeat with a file that hasn't been opened in eclipse since you started it Actual Results: edit eclipse.ini to add the vmarg -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.gtk.disablePrinting fixes this problem, though I don't know what triggered it, as I haven't updated eclipse or gtk+ recently. Expected Results: No time thieving gremlins in evidence. Side effect: Printing is disabled. http://www.eclipse.org/swt/faq.php#printOnGTKHangs I just posted a comment on this at: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=215234 but I gather from a chat on irc that this in known to bite gentoo. Also http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-5099225.html#5099225
Maybe it's looking for a network printer and is having DNS trouble on top?
(mid-air collision so reposting) actually run /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop and you can see the editor open as the service stops. The above is a fix that allows printing. (if you don't use a zeroconf printer, I guess) net-dns/avahi-0.6.22-r1 was the only gtk+ connected thing that my logs say I upgraded lately. I guess this is now a bug in avahi? Sorry if this is no longer a relevant bug for gentoo.
Actually I think its cups-1.3.7-r1, as uninstalling avahi doesn't do the trick.
This Eclipse version is obsolete and removed from tree. Closing.
