solution for erlide hangs eclipse prolem

Please try with the latest nightly from http://erlide.org/update_nightly, we did some work about similar issues, I hope they will solve yours too. It would help to see the log from /erlide.log. You can also open the launch configuration from run->configurations and see if there is some weird value in any of the fields in the "runtime" tab, most probably the node host name.

What to do about it

 

The simplest solution is to check the hostname that Erlang assigns to nodes (start erl -name foo to see it, or check the Window→ Preferences→ Erlang→ Troubleshooting page) and add it to your /etc/hosts file (or similar) for the right IP address. If you want to debug distributed nodes on several machines, you must not use 127.0.0.1 for this, but the real address on the current network. For Macs, an alternative solution is to rename your computer from foo.whatever to just foo (or anyhting without any dots).
