[cross-project-issues-dev] Open Editor timeouts
|
Hi
The Code Recommender's reports highlight a cross-project phenomenon that
is difficult to allocate to a particular project.
If an editor is slow to open, the current opening strategy on the UI
thread can lead to a UI freeze.
For platform editors, the 2s timeout may just be adequate, so, not a
platform problem.
Bug 453590 causes the basic Ecore Editor to timeout if a user gives a
stupid URI causing Internet failures.
By the time we get to Xtext and worse still my OCL Xtext editors, there
is ample scope for opening to take more than 2 seconds.
I'm getting irritated by the number of UI freeeze duplicates and could
attempt to override the platform/Xtext editor strategies to put up a
loading welcome page while a worker thread does the necessary.
But I feel that provision of such a strategy is really a platform job
rather than my job three levels of abstraction further on.
Is anyone else seeing this as a problem?
Regards
Ed Willink
