I’m asking the topic, because in my current application, I quite often find that when I open a jsp-file, the designer takes over and gives me a “Creating preview page” progress-bar which lasts for at least 10 minutes.
Likewise when I edit a jsp-page in the source (which is all I use), it will block user-operations with a “Updating outline”
Is there any way I can disable these features, since I never use them anyways ?

God I hope you are exaggerating, 10 mins would be a lifetime staring at a progress bar.
But to answer your question, you can right click on your JSP files and select “MyEclipse JSP Editor” instead, the non-Visual one. Or go to WIndow > Prefs > General > Text Editors > File Associations and adjust the default editor for the file types like .jsp, .jspf, .jspx and so on to use the non-visual editor.
Actually I wish I was exagerating, but I’m not…some times I’ve actually given up on waiting for the progress bar, but your trick about changing to the non-visual editor seems to be exactly what I was looking for..:) Thanks

I have a similar problem, and I can vouch for d0h, he is not exagerating. I get “JSP Semantics Validator (JSF)”,
it takes up 99% of the CPU time and would not stop, and at first I thought it was hanging, so I restarted eclipse.
Just now I let it run and took a shower. When I came back, it had finished. I would like to use all the features
of the editor, so I don’t want to turn it all off. is there a way to “tame” the semantics validator?OK, I tried switching to the non-visual editor, and it didn’t fix the problem.
I timed the “JSP Semantics Validator (JSF)”, and it was 2 minutes for a small
page, and 26 minutes for a complicated page (not kidding). And it marked
several things as wrong which were not wrong.lfrohman, Is there any way you can create a test project (web project) that includes the huge page and all artifacts/classes/etc. necesary for the page to compile correctly and then email it to us, I can test it and file it attached to a bug so our developers have something to profile exactly against and see what the validator is getting hung up on so badly? Even 2 minutes is not acceptable.. I would say 1 minute running as a background task for a page to fully validate (meaning all the markers in the left margin are realized) is probably our goal for a complex page.
support@genuitec.com, ATTN Riyad and don’t forget to include a link to this forum so I know why I’m getting the email.
You can turn off the validator under your project preferences under MyEclipse then Validation. If you want to turn of real-time validation, you can go to Window > Preferences > MyEclipse > Editors > Common Editor Preferences and uncheck “Report problems while typing”
lfrohman,
I received your project and it did indeed make MyEclipse very unhappy. I filed the bugs I found with respect to the long rnning validation cycle as well as not being able to truely cancel the validation process, thank you for sending that along.Hi all,
Is there something new for this point ?
Because while the “jsp semantics validator” is running it’s impossible to watch any variables !! => so we are losing A LOT OF time in debug session !!
Thanks !avintis,
We uncovered bugs that we are going to try and fix in the 5.0.3 release which is due out Nov 6th.This is also an annoying problem for us! For my opinion some bugs should be fixed in shorter time periods!

Hefter,
We are sorry the issue is problomatic for your team. As a workaround you can simply right click on the pages and open them with the MyEclipse JSP Editor to avoid creation of the visual design for the time being.That workaround aside, in our development meeting today management said that what we will start doing (before or after 5.0.3 release) is in addition to our milestone releases, we will start making individual fixes available earlier for users that are most effected by it… so something similar to what you are saying.
For example there are some stability issues with the designer on Linux due to some library issues, and we will be rolling out that fix for our Linux users to help them out here soon (before the 5.0.3 release).
Ultimately we want our users happy and are making some adjustments to how we deliver the product to make that easier for them.
hefter,
We released a hotfix patch for our Linux users that were having problems with the JSP designer a few weeks ago. We will also be making our next release in 1 week that is going to include a myriad of bug fixes, enhancements and performance improvements across the board.Also the faster release cycle was a longer term plan than simply a 1-month plan.
