Hi David,
I'm a member of team that is developing QorIQ Configuration Suite but I can't confirm it is typical without having more details. Did you check also a .log file in your workspace if there's not any errors related to this problem?
Generally we noticed similar problems in some cases where not enough memory was available to running eclipse based CodeWarrior, especially DPAA tool can be very addicted on memory.
Please, try to check your cwide.ini for setting of MaxPermSize value, default value here is 128m which may not be enough for many DPAA configuration.
Try to set this:
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m
If this little tweak will not help you, could you please send us your project for further analysis?
Best regards,
Petr Zeman
