I've been using Gradle Buildship plugins in Eclipse around a year. Now Eclipse is getting hung up on the process of Loading tasks of all Gradle projects. In the past, this task usually took a few seconds at startup and I didn't think anything of it.
- If Gradle Tasks view wasn't in focus in the workspace this task wouldn't happen until it was opened.
- In workspaces that don't have the Gradle Tasks view in focus this doesn't start until I click on the Gradle Tasks view.
- I've looked in the workspace.metadata.log - but I don't see anything that appears to be relevent to this issue.
Any help with how to start to debug this, or where else to look would be appreciated.
Also - has this happened to others? I don't often hit an Eclipse or Gradle problem that hasn't been recently described in StackOverflow. The closest ones I've seen don't seem to apply - rather old, like 2016 or earlier, and the conditions seem to be "takes a long time" or describe an error message.

- Eclipse 2021-12 (4.22.0) updated from Eclipse 2021-09 (4.21.0)
- Gradle - using the Buildship Gradle Integration 3.0

I found that I can at least stop the buildship task using the osgi console in Eclipse:
Next get a list of eclipse threads using command "threads" with no arguments.
Use "threads stop 'taskname'" note that the entire task name isn't printed by the threads command?! I got that later part of the name from the Progress window.
