Hi,

I am using Eclipse3 and the latest MyEclipseIDE (Version: 3.7.101 Build id: 200405301200-3.8-Beta1)

While editing a JUnit class, in the Outline view, I discovered that, If I right click on a TestCase the pop-down context menu has items like ‘Run’ and ‘Debug’.
But the sub-menu takes a LONG time to appear (upto 3-5 seconds).
(I liked this submenu. I can execute/ debug that particular testCase instantly)

BUT my issue is WHY THE LONG DELAY FOR THE subMENU to appear ?

This delay is associated with only the ‘Debug/ Run’ menu items.
There is NO delay for sub menus for other menu items like Source/ Refactor/ Compare With/ Replace With to appear.

I understand the ‘Debug/ Run’ menu items are additions of MyEclipseIDE.
They are simply great! 😀
Except for the delay I am experiencing for the sub menu to show up.

Any clues ?
PS: My system is Intel P4 with 512Mb ram and I execute Eclipse with vmargs: -vmargs -Xmx256M

I understand the ‘Debug/ Run’ menu items are additions of MyEclipseIDE.

Nope, these are provided by Eclipse, not us. I just verified this by removing ME and restarting Eclipse, the menu was still there and doesn’t take 3-5 seconds to popup… you would have better luck checking with people on the Eclipse forums as they would know why/how this is happening.

Moving to random thoughts.

U r right!

It is part of Eclipse 3.0.

I extracted a fresh version of eclipse 3 without any external plugins and opened my workspace in it.

The context menu is present but there is no delay asscociated with its sub-menu items appearing.
That only means after I installed external plugins into Eclipse 3, this behaviour has started. (Upon checking the About box – I find that the only external plugins listed are by Genuitec LLC all others are by Eclipse.org)

Of course—
Some time back I had an Eclipse 3 Milestone release 7, in which the the latest MyEclipseIDE would not install into. So had installed MyEclipseIDE, v3.7.2.
When later I got my hands on Eclipse 3, Final release, I simply deleted the milestone eclipse and started with Eclipse 3 final. Into which I installed MyEclipseIDE ver 3.8 Beta-1 (but overwrote that into the same directory as original – WITHOUT de-installing MyEclipseIDE, v3.7.2 — <C:\Program Files\MyEclipse>)

My control-panel ‘Add remove programs’ palet shows both ‘MyEclipse Enterprise Workbench’ items.

Could that be the culprit?

Ahh, we had 1 user recently that did this exactly same thing, but had 3.7.2 installed along with 3.8 Beta 2, and it was actually causing him lock ups in the Struts Wizards… so maybe its best if you clear out all instances of MyEclipse, then download and install 3.8 Beta 2 just to be sure.

I’ll move this back to Support to make sure that you get setup without any problems.
