Java Hangs up

Thread view: 
sheldon.sc@gmail.com - 26 Feb 2006 04:42 GMT
Hi
I have been using BlueJ as a compiler for about 4 months. But all of a
sudden, for no reason, it decides not to work. I was using the
application about a week back and it worked fine. Now the application
opens up but when I click on a Menu Item(File > Open)  it hangs up java
and I cannot run anything else. My laptop fan starts spinning like
crazy and until I end the javaw.exe file the fan spins like crazy like
it's over processing and heating up. I don't think it's a Virus
because I have done a virus scan with Norton and used registry mechanic
also done a cleanup with Ad aware. I have uninstalled Java and
reinstalled it. Currently I have jre1.5.0_06. I have also uninstalled
BlueJ but that does not work. I have tried another java application
which I use for another subject and it's the same when I click on a
Menu item it hangs my laptop and the fan start to spin like crazy.
Please help. I need to finish my assignments

Thanks

I think you mean your CD-ROM drive not your case fan.  Have you put
your R: drive on your classpath or path?

Maybe BlueJ tries to access the floppy drive or a CD/DVD drive when you
use File > Open. BlueJ probably remembers the location where you last
opened a file (perhaps you accessed a file from a floppy or CD recently?).

Try to insert a (readable) floppy and CD(DVD) in your drives to see if
that solves the problem.

Regards,

Guys I have a laptop. I don't have a floppy drive and there is no cd in
the DVD Rom drive that I have. I know for sure that it is the processor
fan. I checked out the processes and javaw.exe shows 99% cpu usage. Its
not only with BlueJ that I am having the problem. There is another
applicatio that I use that gives me the same problem. When I compile it
in BlueJ it runs fine and I can see the output. Its jsut that when I
try to open a new project or another application that I was warking
on.... its then that this happens. Like I click on file and open and it
hangs up.

Has this always happen with BlueJ?
Did it just start?
Do you have the latest BlueJ?
What version of JDK\JRE are you using?

Thanks in Advance...

This has just started some few days back. I happened to install Winamp
the the one with the media player. I watched some TV serials on it and
ever since that Java has been acting up. I don't think that this could
be the issue. But I have uninstalled it. And it still hangs up.
Javaw.exe shows 99% cpu usage. I even tried it without BlueJ. I use
another Java application for another subject which gives the same
problem. I have uninstalled java and Blue J and have the current
versions of BlueJ and Java jre 1.5.0_06(Ver 5 with update 6).Which is
the current version. I still cant get it to work.This is very wierd. I
ran a virus scan and also  registry mechanic and ad aware. IT still
does not seem to help. I dont know what kind of a virus this is. I dont
even know if this is a virus.

People don't write viruses for a programming language that uses a
virtual machine. They exploit holes in the operating system to take
control of a computer.

Think of java as a computer inside your computer. They don't affect each
other because if they did, then anyone could exploit a java program by
exploiting windows. Encapsulation stops that cold.

Sounds like DLL hell again.  Winamp modified some DLL that Java
depends on.  Format your hard disk and stare over without installing
Winamp.  I think I am may be hit by the same thing. My machine has
been unusually slow. I upgraded Winamp recently too.

Try a little experiment for me.

Try making a little test class with a simple output, save the test file,
and try running it from the command prompt.

If you get the output, it's not your java, it's BlueJ. BlueJ's more of a
toy. Sorry but it is. My first semester in java was hard as hell because
the teachers decided to start us off using BlueJ, then gradually turning
us loose on JEdit. It f.cked me up bigtime. You learn to do things one
way, then about a quarter of the way through, they switch and the java
keeps getting harder. No. That's bad. They were trying something and I
get it, but I didn't like it a whole lot at all.
