If a Java app built in Eclipse hangs (due to getting into an infinite loop, for instance), the only way I can find to get it to terminate is to quit the IDE and restart it. Is there some sort of stop button I can use if I encounter this problem?
Got a tip for us?

I've caused Java loops when running from Terminal, and picking Apple Menu->Force Quit works great.

The problem with that is that neither Eclipse nor the Java app shows up in the Force Quit dialog.😕

If you are running it from within Eclipse, switch to the Debug perspective and then take a look in the Debug view - it will contain a list of all the running threads. You can elect to stop them by selecting them and click the red square or right click and select Terminate.

Thanks! I did not even know the Debug perspective existed until you pointed that out to me.

Does the red Terminate button work?
It's been a while since I used Eclipse, though I'm sure it's always shown when you run a program.

You should introduce yourself and really get to know it 🙂 This is probably one of the most important perspectives in Eclipse for Java developers.

Yep, this button should do what you want. It's on the 'Console' tab toolbar.
