Code Composer Studio version 4 (CCS4) hangs when opening an existing CCS Eclipse project

RGB

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CODECOMPOSER, CCSTUDIO

I installed Code Composer Studio version 4.2.4 on Windows XP professional. When I try to import an existing CCS4 project, e.g. from TI example code, CCS4 hangs right before opening the "Select Existing CCS Eclipse Project" dialog. The dialog does not appear on screen. CCS hangs and the only way to stop it is to force close it. On the force close dialog the message is "You chose to end the nonresponsive program, javaw.exe". See screenshots below for the Eclipse diagnostics message, as well.

Uninstalling and reinstalling CCS4 did not help. On another XP machine the same CCS4 installer produced a CodeComposer that did not had this problem. It looks like there is a setting on the problematic machine that gets in the way, when importing an existing CCS4/Eclipse project. Any idea what that setting might be? Are there any alternatives to opening an existing project? By the way, the faulty behavior exists for both menu options

File /Import/CCS/Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Projects and
Project/Import Existing CCS/CCE Eclipse Project

On the other hand opening a legacy CCS 3 project brings up the open project dialog without a problem; opening an individual file works too.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

Thanks in advance.

From where was this version of CCS 4.2.4 installed? Did you download it from the CCS wiki or was it from a CD? Did you install this version directly or install an earlier version and then update to 4.2.4 via Update Manager?

Are you able to create a new CCS project ok, add files to it and build it?

Have you tried importing different projects and does it crash every time independent of the project?

I would first suggest cleaning your workspace or trying the import in a new workspace as mentioned in the "General IDE" section of the troubleshooting guide: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCS

If that doesn't help, please provide the diagnostic logs as described here: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Troubleshooting_CCS#CCS_Diagnostic_Logs. The most useful ones in this case are likely the JVM Error logs and crash dump files.

Several installations have been tried -- all with the same (bad) result:

CCS4 DVD that came with a Concerto Experimenter Kit
CCS4 Download from "my.ty" -- this is a purchased microcontroller version

I tried different workspace locations - no change.

I have not tried creating a new project.

All attempts to import an existing CCS4 project fail, since the IDE does not get as far as to show the project import dialog -- so nothing can be imported. As mentioned in the previous post after such an attempt CCS4 hangs (it is unresponsive from that point on).

Getting the logs via 'Help->CCS Support Activities' did not work -- no dialog appeared on screen after choosing that menu option; however, CCS did not hang.

I found a log file under the '.metadata' directory in my workspace directory and it contains some error. It is attached to this post (had to rename it from '.log' to 'log.txt' for the uploader to accept it. Its contents are pasted here, as well.

UPDATE 1:

The entries in the log below are generated, when 'Help/CCS Support Activities' menu option is chosen. The hanging which happens when importing an existing CCS project does not add to this log.

UPDATE 2:

The Creating a new project leads to a similar result. Clicking "Next" on the "New CCS Project" dialog freezes the IDE (screenshot attached).

and the corresponding Eclipse error screen:
