Eclipse not responding (Windows 8)


Eclipse freezes and says "not responding" very often. At first it only happened rarely but now it happens every time I try to edit something. It has become impossible for me to work like this.

About my laptop:

  • Intel I5-3230M 2.6GHz

  • 8GB RAM

  • Windows 8 Professional 64bit

It mostly happens when I try to edit XML. I suddenly can't click anything, then "not responding" window appears and then Eclipse completely crashes. It happens so often that I can't even work anymore.

Screenshot of the error that I get, when it crashes: enter image description here
