[Bluej-discuss] FW: BlueJ (2.1.3) on Java 5 hanging at the Project menu

[Davin McCall]

Hi Ken,

I have no real idea what is happening, but the debug log file (bluej-debuglog.txt) might contain a clue. The exact location of the file should be shown in the "About BlueJ" dialog (from the Help menu), if opening that doesn't crash BlueJ :-)

However, make sure to reproduce the problem immediately before checking the debug log file, as the file is cleared each time you start BlueJ.
