Is there any way to kill an Eclipse background operation without killing Eclipse itself?
Specifically, I want to kill stalled Subclipse SVN operations. Clicking 'cancel' pops up a little Cancel Requested message, but the operation still sits there forever blocking everything else.
This is Eclipse Helios on Windows 7 if that makes any difference.

You must use Task Manager (Alt+Ctrl+Del on Windows) for kill process. Go to tab Processes, find process javaw.exe * and click End Process. The result: frozen process in Eclipse was closed but your Eclipse wasn't closed.
1) Launch Eclipse IDE > 2) Launch Task Manager > 3) Kill Eclipse.exe process eclipse doesn't get killed.
You need to do that from the IDE. You can use the shortcut key – [Alt] + F + X or using menu option – File > Exit.
How do I force quit the application? open a terminal, type xkill + Return. Then click on the application's window.
Killing the task from the Progress window (Window->Show View->Other|General->Progress or Alt+Shift+Q, Q | General->Progress).
Then choose the offending thread and click the red square.
Note it sometimes takes a delay before the kill occur, you may also have to kill other thread in there to get what you want. Lastly it does not always work, if this fails I usually just restart eclipse.
Hope this helps
