    Hey,

    I’ve been searching the forums for a solution to this prob but haven’t found any. I have however found plenty of people having probs with the jsp editor for a number of *years*. As such I’m hopeful (but skeptical) a solution exists.

    I’m running myeclipse 8.6, jdk 1.6 on linux. The jsp editor starts out fine, but after a few minutes it bogs down and ends up buffering all my keystrokes, etc. Obviously this makes coding jsp less than optimal. There is no stack trace in the .log.

    I’m running with ridiculously huge memory settings, I’d hoped that would solve the problem, but to no avail. I’m on ubuntu 10.04 running an i7 chip with 8 gb of ram.

    This is really preventing me from working, and if I can’t find a solution I’ll have to switch editors.

    thanks,

    Joe

    Joe,

    Can you answer below queries which will help me investigate this issue –
    1. Can you copy and paste your installation details? Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
    2. You mention that you are running with huge memory settings. Can you please share the same here?
    3. Can you tell me what are the types of projects and the size of each in your workspace?
    4. Can you list what are the actions that trigger the jsp editor being not optimal?

    Joe,

    A question I consistently ask our users is whether they’re using the Visual JSP Designer (does not matter if the design page is hidden) or the source only JSP editor.

    1) If you are using the former, can you use the source only editor and see if that gives you a better editing experience? To use source only editor, bring up the context menu on the file and choose Open With > MyEclipse JSP Editor.

    2) Additionally, can you clear your error log file (you can do this in the error view) and observe if any errors are logged as you see slow downs in typing?

    3) After you do experience the slow down, does reopening the editor fix it? If not, can you open another JSP file, is that slow too?

    4) Is this file particularly large? For us to get a rough idea, how many lines of code are in the file? Do you experience this issue with other JSP files too?

    I apologize for the inconvenience caused, I realize this is a long standing issue; we are in a position now to address it, these questions will help us focus our search and analysis.
