I’m running myeclipse, version 7.0 on windows (4Gb RAM, P8440 dualcore processor )
When I work on a web project, and I apply some change on a text file, workspace stays idle in a rebuild for some seconds; moreover, if I change a single java file, not related with other in the workspace, I have to wait for a workspace rebuild that occurs for ten seconds at least.
I disabled all validators or capabilities that I don’t use, but with no performance improvement.
Thanks in advance.

Do you have Projects > Build Automatically checked under the MyEclipse toolbar?

[nikoligno]

Hi.
Yes I have.
This slowness has begun using the current versione of MyEclipse…

[Loyal Water]

You should uncheck “Build Automatically”. Can you go to MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details and paste it here for me.

Does the slowness persist in a new workspace as well?

I have encountered the exact same issue. In MyEclipse 6.5, build automatically would only rebuild the portions of the project that were affected by a change when you saved a file. In MyEclipse 7.0, the entire project seems to rebuild many times. Furthermore, no matter whether or not you turn off validation it seems to still be running. I have validation turned off, /WebRoot excluded from validation, and still whenever the project builds it pauses for 20-30s at “Validating /WebRoot” This is incredibly annoying, and will probably send me back to 6.5.

I think I have encountered the similar issue. Every time I clicked SAVE, MyEclipse will hang for a few seconds to build and validate the folders under /web folder. I tried to use “Exclude From Validation” to exclude /web folder but no use! It still tries to validate that folder every time I saved a change. This is really annoying… Did anyone know how to fix this bug??

Many thanks in advance!

[Loyal Water]

I have filed this as a PR for the dev team to investigate. We will try to rectify this issue asap.

Hi nipun,

Thanks so much for your help.

MyEclipse 7.0 is so buggy, I think I’ll stay with MyEclipse 6.0 and wait for the release of MyEclipse 7.1…

[Loyal Water]

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We are currently investigating whether this problem is being caused by the JavaScript tools we introduced in 7.0.

If you go to Project > Properties > Builders, do you see a “JavaScript Validator” item in the list? Uncheck that and restart MyEclipse. Does performance now improve?
Alternatively, go to Project > Properties > MyEclipse > JavaScript > JavaScript Libraries. If this page exists in your web project, go to the Source tab, select your WebRoot folder and click Remove. Restart MyEclipse.

The dev team is hard at work figuring out the cause of this slow down, any information you can provide will help a great deal. We apologize for the inconvenience caused.

I have the same problem … was very excited to finally get some good JS tools, but now b/c of this slow building problem, I’m going back to version 6.

[schinnny]

Been using 7.1 for the past few days. It seems to be a little better, but there still is a 1 to 2 sec delay when you make a minor JS modification. Strange that status bar always says, “Building workspace 17%”. I know this isn’t that bad, but I’m spoiled from pre-7 versions where saving was instant … never any delay.

I’ve also noticed in general with 7.1 that many operations, like holding the cntrl key while mousing over a JS object, make a huge hit on the CPU and take about 3-4 seconds before you can actually use it.

Considering just sticking with version 6 until 7 can speed up.

[Loyal Water]

We are trying to, earliest revision of JS editor looks like 8.0 at this point, so Q3 this year.

[schinnny]

OK. Thanks for the update. I also have noticed that some of my JS functions aren’t showing up in the outline view (both the docked version, and the ‘cntrl-o’ popup). Can’t figure out why some functions show up and others don’t, as they are using the same syntax to declare them. I’ll just have to go back to v6 and my trusty no-longer-supported Adobe JS Eclipse editor :-/

[schinnny]

Update … just found that if I remove all the Javascript validators and nature from my web project file, 7.1 works like 6 … no performance issues with saving, deployment, etc. I installed JS Eclipse and now can at least use 7.1 … hope 8.0 comes soon, it’s been so long since I thought I’d be able to have all those nice editor features that the Java developers get.
