I'm having the same problem.

Do you see any output in the console window?

Only 

Executing 'home/$USERNAME/cppcheck-1.37/cppcheck --version'
Duration 140ms
Cppcheck 1.37

Pushing the Apply button stops every action of Eclipse...

I could reproduce one issue with spaces in filenames under Windows. But I guess 
this
is the same error. I will try to come up with a hotfix today. Thanks for the 
report.

Turns out, that it has nothing to do with the path itself but with a limitation 
of
Runtime.exec(). The javadoc states: 

Because some native platforms only provide limited buffer size for standard 
input and
output streams, failure to promptly write the input stream or read the output 
stream
of the subprocess may cause the subprocess to block, and even deadlock. 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/java/lang/Process.html

Seems that under Mac OS this issue doesn't occur, while under Windows / Linux 
we have
exactly the described problem.

Fixed with 0.9.1. Now using Apache Commons Exec to execute cppchecker which 
should
overcome the limitations of pure Runtime.exec().

Thanks for fixing it that fast... !
And thanks for keeping us in the loop what went wrong. It is a quite common 
problem.
I'm planning as well to implement plugins in order to integrate command line 
tools.

• Added labels: Milestone-0.9.1

I can't find an entry of the new version (0.9.1) in the Eclipse update dialog
(http://cppcheclipse.googlecode.com/svn/update/site.xml). I only see the old 
version.
 What do i have to do in order to get the version installed?

Just check for an update in Eclipse via "Check For Updates". Sometimes Eclipse 
caches
old data, so a res†art of Eclipse may be necessary. Don't use the menu command
"Install New Software".
