Eclipse Unhandled event loop exception

Question

Im getting an exception in my eclipse indigo - im using the PDT plugin as well.. any ideas? When i code the lines start acting funny, disappearing, then reappearing.

Answer 1

It is a bug in pdt that seems to be fixed: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=350139

(I know I'm answering pretty late, but it will help other people that come from google)

edit: how I fixed it on my computer (and I don't recommend you to do it like me):

Got the latest stable nightly build of pdt from https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-pdt-3.0-indigo/ which for me was: https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/cbi-pdt-3.0-indigo/166/artifact/build/N201107150957/

There seems to be a way to update eclipse plugins by using pdt-Update-.zip files explained here Getting Eclipse PDT nightly build from Hudson . I couldn't do that on my computer and I didn't had time to investigate why it didn't worked. I got the other zip file (pdt-SDK-.zip), removed the old plugins from eclipse library directory and put the new ones instead. It didn't work, the PHP perspective was nowhere to be found after that. So, I did a dirty hack: took org.eclipse.php.core_3.0.0.v201107150957.jar from the archive, removed the old one from the eclipse library directory (org.eclipse.php.core_3.0.0.v20110516-1100.jar in my case) and renamed the new one like the old one.

I am aware that this may break things and I don't recommend to other people to do that unless they do it as a temporary hackish fix :-)

I should have tried PDT 2 though...
