Error with STS 3.9.8 on Eclipse 4.11 and JVM 1.8

[explorer566]

When I edit code of a Spring Boot (2.1.3) project, I get the following error in Eclipse:

This is a limitation of the current tooling when it deals with newer versions of Spring Boot, unfortunately. But it should show up as a warning in the Error Log, not an error. Does it show up for you as an error?

When dealing mostly with Spring Boot projects, I can highly recommend to switch to the new Spring Tools 4 tooling, which doesn't suffer from those limitations. There is a new version (4.2.0) coming out today that is also based on Eclipse 4.11. Would that work for you?

Hi Martin,

above I attached the Eclipse error log that shows an error.

Running Eclipse under JVM 1.8 shows this error in the log and lets Eclipse "hang" while editing Java code. Thus it has to be terminated and started again. Running Eclipse under JVM 11 shows this error in the log too, but doesn't let Eclipse "hang".

I will try the new Spring Tools 4.

"hang" sounds pretty bad, I didn't experience that. Can you capture a thread dump while STS 3.9.8 hangs (using jps and jstack)? That would be great.

Hi Martin,

I installed STS 4.20 and it seems to work. I'm very busy at the moment thus I don't have time to switch back and make the requested thread dumps.

Thanx for your advice.

Regards Ralf

Sure, no problem. Let me close this issue then for now. As soon as you are able to find some time to capture the thread dumps for the hang, please comment and we will re-open. Thanks!!!
