Eclipse Mars.1 hangs when creating a new Oracle ADF application

Question

All is said in the title. I tried numerous solutions, in particular :

• Downloading Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse ;
• Downloading the latest release of Eclipse Mars and then adding Oracle ADF Tools ;

The symptoms are as following :

• I choose to create a new ADF application;
• I fill in the fields of the first page of the wizard;
• When I click [Next], nothing happens but eclipse asks if I want to send an error report;
• Eclipse is frozen and i have to kill the task;

My current environment : Windows 10 / 64 bits, jdk8u60, Version: Mars.1 Release (4.5.1), Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 12.2.1

My question : is there a known workaround ?

Answer 1

This was a known bug in Mars 4.5.0. I had the same problem and it was fixed when I updated Eclipse to Mars 4.5.1. However, I am running Windows 7, so your mileage may vary.
