I'm using latest integration build of Eclipse on Windows 2000 Server and Sun's 1.3.1 JDK. I set-up Java project in Eclipse, setup CVS repository, checked-out java files into "source" folder. I was able to run ant-script too - all classes went in to "classes" folder. Now when I opened a Java file, I was able to use code-completion most of places - I had lib\rt.jar and weblogic.jar in build- path for the project. However, I wanted code-completion on classes we had written that were also being used. So I added "classes" folder to build-path for the project. When I tried to open any of the "source" Java files, it would now take 4-5 minutes before I would see the file...CPU usage for associated Java process would go to 95% (sometimes, not always). I could do code-completion on package-name (Eclipse would crawl when I did ctrl+space after "."). However, Eclipse was not able to see any of the classes - only the packages under "classes" folder. This was confirmed when I did "Go To Type" and "Go To Package" - I saw our packages in the dropdown - but none of our classes. So I restarted my Eclipse - jar-ed up my classes, and this time added the jar to build-path for the project. Now I was able to see both our packages and our classes. However, Eclipse still "takes ages" opening a Java file - and crawls when I use code completion feature. I have to wait more than a minute before I can see the drop-down with the method-signatures. CPU usage goes to over 95%. If I remove my "classes" jar from the build-path, auto-complete works fine. Except for code which uses/inherits my classes - and of course, I get "type cannot be resolved" whenever I hover over any of my classes/interfaces.
This is a combination of 2 problems: - bogus refresh when dealing with classfiles on a lib folder. - performance when using the weblogic.jar So this relates to both bug 9263 & bug 13393
Comments from original reporter: I didn't have performance issues when I had just jre\lib\rt.jar and weblogic.jar in build-path for the project. I experienced those problems only when I added jar with my class-files to the build-path.. Regards, Avinash.
Please check this scenario to see if we still have a performance issue with classfiles.
I believe I cannot have access to the weblogic.jar because of licensing issue. Maybe Avinash can confirm that there is no more performance problem with M5 + jdtcore patch?
Avinash confirmed by email that this is no longer a problem in M5. Closing.
