jEdit Freezes in OS X Lion
Submitted by on Thursday, 1 September, 2011 - 00:30
I was recently given a new laptop with OS X Lion 10.7 installed for my job.
I have been using jEdit, daily, on various platforms since 2002.
Several times a day (but not always), when I go to save a file, jEdit freezes up and has to be "Force Quit." This only happens on my Lion install. It does not happen on my other Mac which uses Snow Leopard 10.6.
This problem happens on jEdit 4.4.1, 4.4.2 and 4.5pre1.
I tried out Eclipse and it froze up on me, once, on a save. I did not get it to do it again.
There are no errors in the logs, that I can see. jEdit does not use extra resources or hike up the load on the CPU, it just freezes and does not return, even after several minutes.
It seems more than a coincidence that I was able to get the freeze to happen on Eclipse, which is a completely different code base. Eclipse and jEdit both use Java.
Java is different under OS X Lion when compared to Snow Leopard, but I do not recall the exact details.
Is there anything I can provide to help figure this out?
