Using the new Eclipse M7 debugger I noticed that is very slow compared to
my old Eclipse 3.0.1 installation.
Looking into process CPU occupation I registered that, instead of the
usual 3-8% of the total CPU time, Eclipse took about 45-50%.
After putting Eclipse in debug mode (with -debug), and printing the
current stack trace, I noticed that Eclipse was always into the
java.util.zip classes due to the fact that the debugger always invoked
them to lookup for library sources.
So I deleted all the sources reference from the Debug panel and
relaunching all worked fine.
Now I ask myself what changed in the 3.1M7 debugger to cause such a side
effect, remembering that all worked great and fast with 3.0.1.
For your reference I used in both case the same JRE for launching Eclipse
and Debugging my application (1.4.2_08).
Please help me in understanding where is the REAL problem.
Ciao.
