Call to implodePT hangs Spoofax build on Windows

When building a Spoofax project, the build hangs on the implodePT step:

sdf2rtg.helper:

The input file is there, so is the output file but it is completely empty. I also noticed a console window pop up and close immediately when it executed this step.

It is not possible to cancel the build. Even after closing Eclipse, the eclipse.exe process keeps running and cannot be killed even from the task manager. Only a full restart seems to be able to close Eclipse.

I am using Spoofax 1.2.0.0-s40678, I’ll see if different versions have the same issue.

Also happens on 1.2.0.0-s40816 (latest right now). However, it doesn’t happen in a fresh Eclipse.

Fresh Eclipse solved it, maybe the implodePT binary got corrupted somehow..

Occurred again today, apparently it’s Avast antivirus screwing up when set in silent mode. It scans implodePT but then doesn’t let it run because it cannot give a notification in silent mode. Guess I need a different virus scanner again.
