Intellij Idea randomly stops working
Hi,
I have already posted on stackoverlow and again, a little different on stackoverflow, but no luck.
Intellij Idea randomly stops working and therby blocks some things in my system. The system itself remains responsive, but I cannot start any programs through gnome3 (my wm) anymore.
I can switch to the console (I am on ubuntu 15.04) and from there do a
killall -9 java
Then idea is killed, and all the program I tried to start immidatly pop up.
Now, while the system is "frozen" (in the sense I described above), I noticed that one of my cpu-cores has 100% usage. But looking into htop, no process uses any significant cpu power. The 100% cpu-usage drops, when I kill java.
I am using intellij idea for haXe, so it might be related to the intellij-haxe plugin, but I do not know.
My system:
Ubuntu 15.04 running gnome3.
java version "1.7.0_80"
Intellij Idea 14.1.4
Any other ideas of what I could try?
Thanks!
Nathan
Edit:
I ran "jstack -F " to cat a stacktrace. Interestingly, running this comments causes the block to be resolved. This is the output of jstack: https://gist.github.com/RudolfVonKrugstein/afbdc471883b4e5c5db1

Try running under Oracle JDK 1.8, see https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/entries/23455956 .
You can also modify idea.sh to run java process via strace and see strace log in case it has something useful at the moment when it stops responding.
