Hello everyone,

I'm searching java elements projects locate in the workspace using the
Eclipse search engine and I'm experiencing some problems.

For projects with a lot of matches, the search is working only when the
Eclipse Test Application with the minimum number of features : Only my
plug-ins plus the required ones.

When the Eclipse Test Application is launched with all the available
plug-ins, it seems like the search begins but then nothing happens.

I've already experienced this behavior because some try/catch blocks in
static function were too long.

This is very difficult for me to tell you more as I have no idea of when
the problem occurs, I'm seeking people that have already had this problem
and know some tips that could help me find and solve this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Julien

Could you show us the part of your code which calls the Search Engine?

Really strange, more plug-ins should not make the Search Engine stop
working. Are you sure the Search Engine is called in this case?
What do you mean by: "it seems that the search begins"?

I do not understand this point at all. Do you mean that when matches
are encountered in huge try/catch block, the Search Engine is hanging?

It's alright I found what was wrong, some NullPointerExceptions were
thrown during the search but the casual Eclipse Test Application didn't
display it. I noticed it in debug mode.

The exceptions were caught by org.eclipse.runtime.SafeRunner which may be
the reason why the search wasn't interrupted with a very poor Eclipse Test
Application.
