Hello everyone. I am developing in Eclipse Galileo and was doing just fine, except android likes to shred some of my objects, until I updated my Java to 1.6_21. Now Eclipse will do everything I expect and as an added bonus it will randomly freeze and show Not Responding. I save like crazy now because the first time this happened I lost about an hour worth of code writing.

Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I searched for this issue on the board and didnt see anything. I am a newbie when it comes to Java, but am learning. I am developing on an amd turion 64x2 windows 7 with 4GB ram. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

There is a known problem with Eclipse and Java 1.6_21. It even warns about it on the Eclipse download page.

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

with the message
"Attention Windows users running Java 1.6.0 update 21 with Eclipse. Please follow the instructions here to resolve crashing and freezing issues."

Click the hyperlink under the word 'here' and it tells you what to do. Apparently build b06 was no good, build b07 should fix it.

Thank You Very Much. You have saved my sanity.
