Eclipse refreshing workspace takes forever

Question

When I start up Eclipse, ready to rock, I have to sit there and wait for like 5 or 6 minutes until Eclipse get its sh*t together, \"Refreshing workspace... (13%)\" it states in

Answer 1

In my experience it's usually a refresh step Eclipse is stuck in. If you click on details on the refresh (waiting) dialog you'll see the steps it takes. My bet is that it's stuck on some server related refresh, you can skip that step by clicking the big red stop button. That should solve it.
