if i do a clean and build project, the compilation of jsps is extremely slow. since i re-installed (clean eclipse and clean myeclipse) it’s so slow that i can drink several coffees before it finishes. First thought was our company virusscan policy because each file that’s written to the disk is scanned by the virusscanner. but i asked our system admins to disable virusscanner, but it still compiles that slow. is there a way to make it go faster
the error log is empty

This is usually 1-3 seconds and is normal. Compiling large projects does take a long time. We have done a lot of work in MyEclipse 5.0 to speed this up however.
it’s taking 4-5 minutes for the whole bunch (± 100 jsp-pages), so indeed 1-3 seconds per page. but i had the feeling that in earlier version it was faster
Unfortunately no, JSP compilation is a very lengthy/expensive process. First the pages need to be run through a translator (JSP compiler) that generate a servlet class, and then run through the javac compiler to check for compilation errors. As I mentioned in MyEclipse 5.0 this should be improved though. Sorry for the inconvenience in the interm.
I just wanted to follow up and let you know that JSP compilation in MyEclipse 5.0 will be *much* faster. We are in the midst of testing and out of curiosity I cleaned my test project which normally takes about 1 minute to build, and it built in 8 seconds. Of course your milage will vary, but suffice it to say it will be much better.
Thanks for the info and the follow-up
From 1 minute to 8 seconds, that’s quite a performance boost (if WADA gets informed about this one, MyEclipse 5.0 will be tested on the use of EPO and other drugs 😀 )
The core reason for the huge increase is that the validation is run in parallel and one one at a time on each file in serial. You can check your progress view and see a ton of EL-validation, JSP-validation and other validators spin up, all working in parallel. It’s pretty slick, no more long waits.
I downloaded today Eclipse 3.2 and the MyEclipse 5.0M2 release and tried out the JSP compilation immediately and i have to say: performance and speed has improved a lot. and if i check the progress-view i saw the parallel processing of the JSP
i would say: 2 thumbs up and keep up the good work
