I’m using Eclipse 3.0 and MyEclipse 3.8.3 on a PIV 2.4 with 1GB RAM, connected to the internet using a very slow and unreliable GPRS connection (~30KBps).

I created a J2EE project, which uses JBoss 4.0 as container.
Every time I run XDoclet, it takes about 10 seconds to generate all files, and then the IDE hangs for 2 or more minutes, with a message “building workspace 10%”. This happens only when I’m connected to the internet, whilst if I disconnect, the workspace is rebuilded in one or two seconds.

I presume this behavior is due to online checks made during workspace building – probably dtd validation, since when offline both jboss.xml and jbosscmp-jdbc.xml reports an error “unable to connect to http://www.jboss.org” – but everything works fine.

I tried to add the two dtd referenced by these 2 xml files in the workspace, and manually changing them in order to point to my local installation, but these changes are lost every time I run xdoclet, so this doesn’t solve my problem.

How can I disable these online checks? Is there a way to tell the IDE to work in ‘offline mode’?

Thanks
Antonio

Antonio,
Two things you can do are:

1) Try and add the DTDs (or schemas) to the XML Catalog in MyEclipse (Window > Prefs > MyEclipse> Editors > XML > XML Catalog)
2) If that doesn’t work, you can disable XML validation for that project by going to Project Properties > Validation and unchecking “XML Validation”

Solution nr.1 has solved the problem.

Thanks
Antonio

Glad it worked.
