Eclipse stops working, hangs and stops responding to any actions

Question

Eclipse hangs. I've run jstack on the process and got the following:

Any ideas how to resove it? I tried to reinstall plugins, reinstall Eclipse itself. The problem still exists.

Looks like it's trying to fetch credentials for your SVN from keyring... I didn't know GNOME had keyring. Maybe it's showing you log-in dialog somewhere? Eclipse has problems sometimes with bringing things to front so maybe the keyring prompt is just hidden by Eclipse itself. — dimoniy, Jun 16 '14 at 05:32

This looks like Issue 1651 in the Subclipse issue tracker, which falls right between Subclipse, SVNKit and GNOME Keyring.

The issue can be worked around by configuring Subversion not to use GNOME Keyring. If storing credentials in plaintext is acceptable, Subversion may be configured as following:

In ~/.subversion/servers, under [global], set store-passwords and store-plaintext-passwords to yes:

[global]
#...skipping...
#
# Password / passphrase caching parameters:
store-passwords = yes
store-plaintext-passwords = yes

In ~/.subversion/config, under [auth], set password-stores to an empty string:
```
[auth]
#...skipping...
### To disable all password stores, use an empty list:
password-stores =
```
(Tested on Subversion 1.9.5, configuration may differ for other versions.)
