Re: [atf-dev] javascript validator slowness

Responsiveness of the editor is an increasing challenge for Eclipse. Can the
"As You Type" validation time-constant be controlled by users? It's pointless
to check after every key stroke. I guess a longish delay (1000ms) would make an
improvement. Or force the "As You Type" to yield after 200ms. I've not yet had
to give up on the Javascript editor, but I had to revert to emacs to edit my JSP
files since eclipse simply ground to a halt on one large file.
A smaller fix would make the preference page more accurate so that I know it
only controls the unimportant bit, but I guess that is a WebTools problem.
We actually employ a delay of 750ms across all of the source
validation implementations. Yielding after an arbitrary amount of
time wouldn't work, though, since validation is extensible. 2.0M3
will correctly enable/disable source validation within the current
JavaScript editor, and JSP validation overall will be much faster as
a result of changes designed for 1.5.2. We're not out of the woods
when it comes to handling largish files, but we're still working on it.
