I just recently upgraded to 5.0.1 GA and noticed that when editing a CSS file in one of my projects the editor is incredibly slow. I type what I want to add to the file and wait a while for what I type to catchup on the screen. I’ve tried messing with the MyEclipse CSS settings, but nothing has helped.

Is there a validator or something that I can turn off to speed things up a bit.

Also, the CSS file isn’t extremely large, (~400 lines).

Thanks.

The first step to helping performance is to fine tune your startup arguments as outlined here:

Let me know if that helps.

I tried setting these arguments in the eclipse.ini file (I think this is the correct place?), and it didn’t make a difference in the css file.

Try setting them on your command line or shortcut line, I had a problem on Linux where all my options in the eclipse.ini file were being ignored, I moved them to the command line and viola, they all worked for some reason.

It’s still slow even after adding the command line arguments to the shortcut.

We have an open enhancements against the CSS editor’s performance, and I’ll admit with medium sized CSS files I’ve seen some lag, but not like you are describing. I’ll add your comments to the internal issue so a developer can investigate it. Sorry for the trouble.

I figured out what’s slowing things down. When editing the CSS, I had the ‘Properties’ View open in the editor. When I close this View or put it in the background (by selecting another tab in its region), then the CSS editor is okay. Thought I’d let you know so it can be passed on to the developers.

Thanks.

This definately sounds like a problem, I’ll let them know, thank you.
