Eclipse Unhandled event loop exception No more handles in windows 7 [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Eclipse Bug: Unhandled event loop exception No more handles 21 answers

I'm facing this error in Eclipse All the time. It occurs every couple of minutes in random cases. I'm using windows 7 64 bit with latest jdk 7 and latest Firefox ( I have seen in many such cases in linux about mozilla ).

Version: Juno Service Release 2 Build id: 20130225-0426

I have also setup in eclipse.ini

-Xmx1024m -Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla

in order to increase memory and set mozilla but still nothing.

Note that it also happens in different instances I have of eclipse ( and in brand new downloaded clean eclipse ) and also in ADT ( Android Tools Eclipse ) .

I can't find a resolution to this and it is getting very annoying.

Any suggestions???

Answer 1

I think that this problem has been resolved by updating windows 7 to the latest Windows Update. The last two days I haven't faced this problem again. I hope it does not appear in the future.
