Hi,

when upgrading from 3.2-M3 to 3.2M5 I discovered the following problem with content assist in java editors:

When typing sun.awt. and hitting ctrl-space the content assist window opens and shows its contents. But the UI thread is blocked for the next 10-30 seconds. When navigating through the list the UI gets blocked again on each item, that has no source code attachment.

This problem only occur when working behind a firewall. When I disconnect from the network the problem disappears. I assume that some network lookup is done when no source code is available in order to display the api doc tooltip.

The problem probably was introduced with 3.2M4 since a colleague of mine told me that he has the same problem with 3.2M4 (he is working for a different company but they have a firewall as well).
