jEdit 'hangs' on startup
Submitted by Atlantean on Saturday, 15 April, 2006 - 17:25
Hi all, Since installing jEdit recently I've been experiencing a problem when jEdit starts. The first time I launch jEdit after a reboot all seems well. However, often if I close jEdit and then reopen it later, it will hang for 30 seconds after the splash screen. During this period absolutely everything freezes - any music playing stops and my mouse cursor is immovable. When jEdit finally loads I'm left with a totally unusable GUI. I'm relatively new to jEdit so I really have no idea how to figure out what is causing the problem. Just in case it's relevant, here's some extra info: I'm using Sun's 'jre1.6.0' and also tried 'jre1.5.0_06' - both yield the same results. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm totally stumped. Thanks in advance, Ant.

Seems like a Java 6 (Mustang) bug to me

I'm seeing this same issue in a number of Swing applications in the current snapshot releases of Java 6 (Mustang). See my report here:

You mention you tried it under jre1.5.0_06. Are you sure you saw the problem under that JRE? Is it possible you were actually still running jre1.6.0 when you tested that? I have only seen the problem you describe under the Java 6 betas.
