Hi, I work in Eclipse on a macbook, but I messed up the App settings and now I cannot open the App settings editor anymore because then eclipse freezes. Does anyone know where I can find the .RES file of the App settings editor, so I can change it manually to get it working again? Or any other solution?
I used to run into this all the time but haven't lately. But I've never had to reinstall the plugin to fix it. Instead, after restarting Eclipse following a freeze I just edit the settings XML file to only have a single entry. Then I go to the settings editor which will work again given the near empty file. Finally I restore the settings XML and all is well again.
emtying the settings file works better...after reinstalling, it froze again, but running with an (almost) emtpy settings file, and then with the restored settings file fixes it :)

Wicked! I absolutely *hate* any fixes that start with "re"-something; reboot, reinstall, restart, retry, re-whatever... so I'm glad that worked for you too. :)
We just haven't been able to reproduce it so we can't figure out what is causing the issue. The only thing I can think is if it happens again maybe trying to get us a compressed copy of the whole Eclipse environment so we can try and track the differences between working and non-working.
