When editing even moderately sized jsp files, I am experiencing a lag between keystrokes that is crippling my productivity. The only way I am able to get anything done is to restart MyEclipse every 10 minutes as I work. For a few minutes I am able to edit files normally before the lag becomes a problem and gradually gets worse. After just 15 minutes, I am experiencing a 5 second lag between each keystroke!
I have seen a few other posts about this problem on the MyEclipse forum, but the issue seems to be unresolved. I have tried the various suggestions about editing the memory options in myeclipse-blue.ini, but changing those settings doesn’t seem to make any difference. I have also disabled all validation under Preferences > MyEclipse > Validation, but that doesn’t seem to help either.
I recently upgraded MyEclipse Blue from 8.5 to 8.6, my specific build is 8.6.1-Blue-20101117. I experienced this problem sometimes in 8.5, but the problem has become much worse in 8.6. My PC is Windows XP SP2 32 bit, Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2Ghz, 4 GB RAM.
I’ve tried various different settings in the ini file, here is what I have currently:
-startup
../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar
–launcher.library
../Common/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-install
C:\Program Files\Genuitec\MyEclipse-Blue-Edition-8.6
-vm
C:/Program Files/Genuitec/Common/binary/com.sun.java.jdk.win32.x86_1.6.0.013/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll
