I’m using eclipse 3.1.2 on a 1G Ram 3GHz machine running tomcat 5.5.9. I was able to step through java files and jsp files just fine, and then suddenly — I have no idea what I did — it became ludicrously and unusably slow: as in minutes for *any* page to simply load. When Tomcat is not in debug mode, the pages come up in a few seconds. In both cases tomcat is launched via myeclipse.

Any ideas anyone?

My org.eclipse.pde.* plugins are:
build_3.1.2
core_3.1.1
doc.user_3.1.2
junit.runtime_3.1.0
runtime_3.1.1
source_3.1.2
ui_3.1.2

Thanks,

Richard,
During debugging the Eclipse debugger considers ANY open project and all it’s files possible targets for a break point. Because of this, if you are debugging and have a particularly large project open, this would cause this behavior. Try and close all the projects you are not using during debugging and see if the speed issue goes away.

Alternative try and restart you computer, you never know what a hung process, dead port or any other like that could be doing with the debugger.

Richard,

Did you ever get a resolution to the problems you were encountering? I am starting to have very similar problems to the ones that you were describing below.

Thanks.
