Editing java files works fine. When I open any JSP file the CPU goes to 100% and the editor is virtually locked. I have to kill the java process to get out….

I tried turning off JSP validation but that did not help.

channemann,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.

We released MyEclipse 2015CI 7 last week. If you have not yet updated to it, please go to Help > Check for Updates and apply the update. Restart the IDE when it prompts to and check if the issue with JSP files persists.

1. Do you see the same issue when opening the JSP file with ‘MyEclipse JSP Editor’ instead of the ‘MyEclipse Visual JSP Designer’ ? If you are not using the design aspects of the editor , please switch to use the MyEclipse JSP Editor.

2. If you are still seeing issues, can you please try increasing the memory settings in the myeclipse.ini file and check if it helps?

The myeclipse.ini file can be found in the same folder as your MyEclipse executable. Open it in any text editor and change the values based on the size of your workspace. For instance, the following settings may be preferable to the defaults.

Code:
-vmargs
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=384m

You might have to increase the -Xmx to a higher value based on the size of your workspace.

3. If the issue persists even after increasing the memory settings, clear the contents of the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log, replicate the issue with the JSP editing and send us the .log file for further investigation.

Let us know how it works for you.
