Re: ClassCircularityError

Hi Luis,

Thanks for the reply.

When you do Ctrl-Alt-Del (Task Manager) click on the Processes tab, search for any "javaw.exe" processes, right click on them and select End Process. That might clear your error. Note that this will kill any program that might be running Java. Hope this helps.

Yes, that's what I did (if you read my original message carefully, you'll see that I mentioned that I had to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and kill the process.)

However, it didn't solve the problem. Nor did a reboot of the PC. All it did was stop WDSC. The next time I started WDSC, it did the same thing, got stuck in that ClassCircularityError loop, and never started.

Finally, I discovered that I could click "Cancel" while it was showing the progress bar and saying "Synchronizing Resources". If I do that, I can get past the ClassCircularityError. After hitting Cancel, it skips the synchronizing of resources, and proceeds to start up WDSC, and it seems to work, though I don't know if it'll cause other problems down the road.

Unfortunately, clicking that 'Cancel' button was NOT easy. It basically blinks on the screen before you get the ClassCircularityError, and each time you hit OK on the error, the 'synchronizing' dialog reappears for another split-second, before getting the same error. So you have to be REALLY fast to try to click cancel in between errors. Fortunately, I was on a slow PC, and after 10 or 20 tries, I managed to hit the cancel button. On a faster PC, I'm not sure I could've done it.

But, anyway... I did manage to get past the error.

I just hope it's not going to cause errors down the road.
