Hack to remedy crashing issue on Mac
Some of you may have experienced unstable performance of Eclipse Neon on Mac OS 10.13 and 10.14. It is prone to crash during certain text editor operations (especially, selecting a block of text with the mouse), as well as upon entry to debug.
I have had some luck remedying these crashes by deleting the eclipse cache when the crashes begin to happen.
1. Quit Eclipse.
2. Delete directory “~/Library/Caches/org.eclipse.platform.ide”
I’d be curious to know if this helps any of you.
Happy coding.
