I’d like better performance in the JSP editor.

It could be much more useful if it wasn’t so slow. I can barely put up with it, and I know several people who disable it because it makes their machines unusable.

Can you copy paste the result from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > INstallation Details here for me to look at?

Also to improve performance, please try fine tuning your memory arguments here:

And just to be clear, are you talking about the source editor or the visual designer? Also how big are the pages you are editing and how complex are they? (lots of taglibs or just a few?)

I’ve pasted the installation details below.

It’s the source editor I have trouble with. I am very keen on trying the visual designer, but it reliably crashes Eclipse for me, so is not useful.

Looking at my JSP files, they seem to be around 1000-2000 lines. They use the struts taglibs and a small number of local custom taglibs. Eclipse considers all the struts taglibs undefined, so I get a large number of warnings, because I’ve not worked out how to make the taglib definitions in such a way that Eclipse can see them.

You setup looks fine, as a first step I would encourage you to make the memory adjustments I outlined above. Also in order for your taglibs to get resolved, you need to make sure that you rproject is a Web Project, and that your taglib URIs are correct and any custom mappings are correct if necessary, please read this for more information: http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-10906.html

Thanks. I’ve added the memory options you suggest and will see what happens to performance.

I’m trying to setup my project as a web project, and get Eclipse errors when I use ‘Add WebProject Capabilities’. I’ve filed a separate support request regarding this.
