Eclipse loops endlessly: Invoking 'Maven Project Builder'

Question

Ugh! My Eclipse is stuck in an endless loop:

• No operations to display at this time
• Refreshing Workspace Building
• Workspace. Invoking \'Maven Pro

Answer 1

I did something similar to Amos M. Carpenter response (https://stackoverflow.com/a/28713259/4470352)

But also I created a new custom builder with the following configuration:

1. Choose configuration type -> Program
2. Location (text box) <= D:\apache-maven-3.3.9\bin\mvn.cmd (my custom maven)
3. Working Directory (text box) <= ${workspace_loc:/project}
4. Arguments (text area)
   • <= clean compile test-DproxySet=true -DproxyHost=a.proxy.host -DproxyPort=8080

This compiles me the project with no progress bar, but i can see the progress in text console.

The problem in my case is that every time I compile that project, I download a WSDL and I need to provide proxy configuration. When maven project builder plug-in tries to compile my project, fails and starts again in a loop.

I have tried to setup it into settings.xml maven configuration file, but doesn't work for me, and providing proxy configuration in command line works.

So creating that custom builder does the job and is a new approach.

I hope it to helps you.
