    Hi,

    I am trying out MyEclipse for debugging a web application under Tomcat 4.1.30. I find that single-stepping is extremely slow (basically unusable) compared to debugging with the sysdeo plugin. I suspect that this is some sort of a configuration problem with MyEclipse. Any ideas where I should look to fix this issue?

    Many thanks.

    Can you try debugging with Tomcat 5? JSP debugging with Tomcat 4 is not supported (not JSR 45 support). ANd make sure you are using a JDK 1.4+ VM to run Eclipse and Tomcat.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your prompt response.

    I tried debugging with Tomcat 5 and got the same slow response in debugging. When single stepping, CPU usage goes to 100% and remains there for a number of seconds. (I am using JDK 1.4.2_03).

    Azad,
    I double checked our forums and found that having a lot of projects (or a few large projects) open while debugging can be the problem. The issue stems from the fact that the debugger attempts to locate its location in source by searching ALL available source in all open projects, so if you have a lot of source files open inside of either many projects or a few huge projects, that can slow debugging down to a crawl.

    Try and temporarily close some of these projects before you start debugging and see if that helps.
