JDeveloper 11g R2 hang on startup at “Restoring Editors”

Issue:

Issue before startup hang > JDeveloper hang sometime after it complaint out-of-memory for perm-size. Hence, it had been killed and restart.

Since then, it startup hang till “Restoring Editors”.

Solution:

Option1> Remove JDeveloper profile @ C:\Users\<Username>\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1\

and let JDeveloper init again

[drawback] all preference, svn, db connection, tpc setting will lost.

* Options2> Find out the problematic file @ C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.2.4.39.64.36.1\o.ide

– as from what I’d found out, it should be related to layout files as it hang on “restoring editors” stage.

[way tried]

1. Backup “windowinglayout” file

2. Startup JDeveloper (this should let JDeveloper startup successfully)

3. Close JDeveloper

4. Revert the backup “windowinglayout” file.

5. start again JDeveloper

– JDeveloper will start again but all project /application opened previously will need to re-open manually.

[drawback]

– Open project probably need to re-open again manually

[advantage]

– No loss in JDeveloper settings, preferences, etc.
