Eclipse hangs at the Android SDK Content Loader

Question

I\'ve been working with Eclipse 4.2 (Juno release 20120920-0800) on OS X 10.8.2 for a few weeks now, building apps for Android 3.0 and above. I have a quad core i7 MacBook P

There are various reasons for this problem, and each have a different solution. For a Linux environment, I made a alias to take care of most of these as they happened overtime. To have all of those in one place, you could try this:

• Add the following in your ~/.bash_aliases file.

  alias eclipse='rm -rf ~/.android/ddms.cfg;rm -rf ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.resources/.projects/*;mv ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi ~/workspace/MyApps/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.e4.workbench/workbench.xmi.bkp;rm -rf ~/.android/cache/;cd ~/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/eclipse;nohup ./eclipse & cd -;'
  

• Refresh source using source ~/.bash_aliases

Note:

• ~/workspace/MyApps is my workspace, you'll have to configure your's accordingly.

• ~/Desktop/adt-bundle-linux-x86_64-20140702/eclipse is the location of my eclipse executable,and you'll have to configure your's accordingly
