While developing in Windows, I've found that simple operations like checkout (Open for Edit) would hang up if the p4 client spec is too general (for example //depot/... which basically covering all the depot).
I believe it has to do with p4 inner working that tries to do something weird besides checking out the source I want. So the solution was to limit the client spec to only the part of the depot I need, for example:
//depot/project_a/module_a/... //perforce-clients/project_a/module_a/...
//depot/project_a/module_b/... //perforce-clients/project_a/module_b/...
After this has been done. I've been able to checkout a file without any problems.
Note: the same behavior has been observed in P4Win, so it must have to do with p4 command line client, not the eclipse plugin.
