Description

I've been using IvyDE on my project for around a month, and have had no problems with it up till now.

Eclipse hangs at startup on the splash screen with the progress bar about 2/3 full. This only occurs with one of my workspaces; Eclipse starts OK with the other workspaces.

After removing the IvyDE plugin and features folder Eclipse starts OK. Reinstate the IvyDE plugin and features folders and Eclipse hangs.

The following actions had no effect and Eclipse still hung on startup:

• rebooting
• leaving Eclipse for an hour to start up
• invoking Ivy retrieve from the ant script of the affected project
• deleting the Ivy cache

The eventual workaround was to delete the ivy.xml. After this Eclipse started OK. I then reinstated the ivy.xml file and everything now works OK, including restarting Eclipse.

At the time of error the Eclipse .log file contains:
