I need to retrieve data from salesforce using the eclipse, but I had a problem when I tried this. I am using a newest version of eclipse (Neon [Version: Neon.1a Release (4.6.1)] and Kepler [Version: Kepler Service Release 2]) with the force.com library installed.
I had the limit exceeded problem, I search for a solution, I found that I should increase the size of Xmx in eclipse.ini file. I tried it but I had the same error, I can read the data from Salesforce but I cannot retrieve them to eclipse.
Any help to solve this issue?
What I have tried:
I do these steps:
1- In the Package Explorer, right click -> New -> Project -> Force.com Project -> Next 2- I create the new project by filling these fields (Project Name, Username, password, Security Token, Environment) -> Next -> then the package is fetched
3- I select Selected metadata components -> I click the button Choose... (It takes a lot of time to open the components) -> then I choose for example 1 class from classes and I click ok.
4- It takes a lot of time and a dialog appear with this warning : Warning occurred while fetching force.com components :: Server processing time has exceeded limit (600 secs) Abort Operation or continue waiting for server? -> So I continue
5- I click again on continue, the issue persist and the same dialog appear again many times.
