#116 Eclipse hangs when checking out multiple projects

[Rob Grzywinski]

Eclipse: 3.0M9 (though I've had this problem for a
number of releases)
p4eclipse: 0.6.24
OS: XP

When multiple projects are "Check out as Project" from
the "Client View of Perforce Depot" (by ctrl+selecting
multiple projects), a dialog will appear that shows the
progress and then Eclipse will hang (typically on the first
project being checked out).

This is reproducable 90% of the time and screams of a
deadlock. Typically the projects being checked out
need to be large (I'm assuming large enough that the
time to build the project is greater than the time to
check out the projects) and there must be more than
two projects being checked out.

The obvious work around for this is to check out a single
project at a time. This has never caused the hang to
occur.

"Build Automatically" and "Refresh Workspace
automatically" are enabled. Let me know if there is any
other information that is needed.

I have attached the thread dump from when Eclipse has
hung.

Is this a dup of 919673?

I have not had 919673 since upgrading to 0.6.20 but believe
you me, I'm trying to make it occur :)

I can almost reliably make this bug (961730) occur so I doubt
it's a dup though the two may be linked in some way.

I have had a similar sort of problem. Using Eclipse 3.0 (build
200312182000) with Perforce plugin and two largish projects.
If I close one project then open the other it seems to go
into 'building workspace' mode and any attempt to do
anything results in a dialog saying locked while building
workspace. Unfortunately it never finishes and locks the
machine. It is event difficult to kill with task manager and in
the past I have had to just trun off the machine. This
happens all the time and now the only thing I can do to
overcome it is delete and recreate the project - a bit drastic
but otherwise it is unusable.
