Eclipse was working properly under Beta 1 and Beta 2, but seems to be having issues under Beta 3. The splash screen appears, and loading completes, and even shows my workspace. (Complete with projects, last-open tabs and contents, etc.)
However, the GUI thread seems completely stalled - I have the rainbow wheel of death perpetually, and cannot interact with any of the UI.
Update: I updated to Eclipse Mars (4.5) and am experiencing the same issue.
Unfortunately installing-rebooting didn't seem to help. Not sure if I need to change the default Java settings, but 'java -version' returned:
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
Thanks for sharing the proposed fix. I downlaoded and installed it but Eclipse Luna still locks as before. (sigh)
Hello,
For anyone that have this problem, you just need to download this:
http://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/07/10/031-25506/wy6k3cd22jejq1j83kmahud7zwbaxid2z6/OSXUpd10.11.pkg
Install and reboot.
Then you will be back to the developer preview 2 that does not have the issue that makes java apps hang and other apps, like Axure.
Hope this helps =)
Hello,

Hope this helps !
Worked like a charm!!
Thank you!
It looks like it will also take you forward to Beta 2 as well, and now Eclipse no longer hangs. Thanks!
Anyone tried that using the first public beta of El Capitan? From what I understand, this takes you from the 3rd developer preview to the 2nd.
I installed the public beta, but it didn't work either.
That worked perfectly, thank you!
Worked perfectly! This is on the public beta.
How about the public beta 3 released today? Somebody tried?
Worked perfectly. Thank you!
i'm seeing a similar issue with the messages library (as mail). deleting the envelope index files resolved the Mail app, but any ideas on how to restore message threads after returning to DP2 from public beta?
Does CrashPlan work with DP 4? Has anyone tried?
Looks like Beta4 solves the problem, according to last posting in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=472259
And I can confirm - with dp4 eclipse 4.4 starts again...
With the updated beta release for El Capitan today it appears that Eclipse is working again. I'm able to launch it and while I haven't exercised all features/capabilities Eclipse is responding so far.
Yup. It's working fine for me on DP4
Beta 4 seems to have alleviated the problem for me as well. Eclipse Luna is back up and running!
I'm on the Public Beta so I'm still dead in the water. Is there a link somewhere that will provide me access to Dp4?
Hi. I was having the same problem with a few apps myself.
Some apps will give you the error message at startup, and others won't, and will hang, but it means you do not have the proper version of Java legacy installed.
OS X requires Java 6 legacy for java enabled apps to work without the bootstrap. Apple recently released an updated version of legacy to fix these unexplained problems. You can click here to go to Apple's official page for it. Try installing it, and get back to me on whether or not it works.
DP4 comes preinstalled with it, for those of you who are confused on that matter.
Cheers.
Not unless you are a paid developer. If you are, then here. If not, you will have to wait until the PB2 is released.
FWIW, in my case CrashPlan did not work (nor did eclipse) after installing the legacy Java VM you referred to.
Finally DP4 comes~~ will say bye to this annoying issue ^ ^
Public Beta 2 fixed this issue. I even upgraded my Luna to Mars. Yeah.
Public Beta Version 2 - Build 15A225f seems to fix the issue. Just installed the latest and Eclipse LUNA is running good.
