Using MyEclipse Build id: 8.5-20100319

I find that I am getting terrible performance which is really hampering my development. Particularly when I am editing JSP files, XML files and sometimes even property files.

First, if I am on a Java file and click a tab to switch to one of the files mentioned above, it will take several seconds before that tab actually loads. Whenever I switch focus out of that tab and page to it, it is a similar delay. And usually when I highlight text or start typing in those files I experience delays as well. It seems as if MyEclipse keeps trying to do “something” while I am editing these files and it causes a delay which causes me grief. Any idea what this behavior could be and how I can disable it?

Thanks for your time.

Edit: Also noticing that stepping through in Debug is taking insanely long – I mean waiting 10 seconds or more on each step on very minor statements (such as if (str.equals(“Something”)) )

My machine is not terrible, I use Visual Studio 2008 on it fine, I use TOAD 10 fine, and I used a previous version of MyEclipse – version 6 I think – and it was stepping through some of these same classes fine.

Something is seriously wrong with my configuration – something is eating up resources and I’d love to find out what so that I may disable it

trant,

Sorry to hear you are running into performance issues on ME 8.5. I know that all known performance issues were addressed and resolved in ME 8.5. To help us investigate this can you do the following –
1. Copy and paste your installation details. Open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.
2. Help > About MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench > Installation Details > Configuration. Look under *** System Properties, copy and paste com.genuitec.pulse.client.handshake.id here
3. Can you share a project where you see the performance issue. Also include detailed reproduction steps.
4. You can go through Window > Preferences > General > Capabilities and turn of the capabilities which are not used by you.
5. Go to Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center > Dashboard. You can deselect any feature you do not use. You will be prompted to verify the change. Pending changes section will list out the managed changes. Click on [Apply x changes] button. Follow the wizard and when prompted to restart, please choose to restart your IDE.
6. In case your workspace contains a lot of projects, it is recommended that you create smaller workspaces with few projects each, this in turn will result in better performance.
Let me know how this works for you.
