When editing JSP my computer will start using 80 – 99% of CPU time.
I did a clean install of the eclipse and myeclipse and the problem is still there.

Thank you,

Jonathan,

Two things to check:
1) That you are using atleast “-vmargs -Xmx256m” command line args to start MYEclipse.

2) To trim down the JARs in your Build Path to only required compile-time dependencies. The more JARs you have in your build path the slower autocomplete will be.

I was using the vmagrs prior, so no change there.
I did as you said and trimmed the JARs down and it sped up the JSP editing (unfortunatly, I had to also take out JAR files that I do need for the build).

Question: Why wasn’t there a problem in the java editing being slowed down when all the JAR files were in the build path? There is only a problem in the JSP editing.

Observation: FYI, since I build the project with an ANT script outside of eclipse/myeclipse it is not “too” much of a issue. However, if I was using myeclipse to build the project it would be a pain because I had to take out a lot of JARs that are dependent for the build (just to speed up the editor features). Also, when editing I have to “re-include” the JAR so that I can have the editing features.

Question: Is there anyother method (other than removing the JAR) to help speed the JSP editor up?

Thank you,

I am getting incredibly slow compiles, deploys, and cut/paste functionality when I edit JSPs in MyEclipse.

I cannot remove JARs as I use the MyEclipse for compilation.

Please fix?

Please paste them here so I can look at them.

(unfortunatly, I had to also take out JAR files that I do need for the build).

How many JARs did you have in your build path at first, and how many did you have after you trimmed it down to ONLY compile-time deps (trimming it down farther isn’t much of a workaround as you can’t work).

Question: Why wasn’t there a problem in the java editing being slowed down when all the JAR files were in the build path? There is only a problem in the JSP editing.

Because there is a performance issue with the JSP editor’s implementation of autocomplete. I’m trying to help you work around the issue, not suggest that it is behaving as it should, it’s not.

You can turn off the reconciler by going to Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Editors > JSP Editor > “Analyze while typing” and uncheck that.

decemberist,
I’m going to ask you all of the same questions I ask Jon in this thread, so please answer them all if you would like help with the issue.
