STS 3.0 (Really, Eclipse Juno) is slow...

[HughScott]

Thanks for the idea of installing STS into an Eclipse 3.8 SDK.

For now, I've disabled JPA validation, which seems to resolve my issue.

Hi all,
i have the following issue with 3.0 on OSX (mountain lion)
Installed cocoa 64bit version, opened on a new workspace
Installed subversive, restarted, installed the svnkit 1.3.7 connector, restarted, hangs forever

Retried 2 times more, from scratch, fully repeatable behaviour

Cheers
Paolo

Hi Paolo

I've been tracking your bug and I've discovered that this is a problem with the SVNKit 1.3.7 connector. The SVNKit 1.7.4 connector should work fine, as well as the JavaHL connectors. Are you able to use one of those?

I've opened STS-2858: installing Subversive into STS 3.0.0 will lock up STS https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-2858 with more information.

Hey!

We have created a feature patch for the performance issue mentioned above. You can install it directly from the Dashboard into an existing STS/GGTS 3.0.0 installation. Can you please try this to see if this helps with the performance problems you observe?

The other way is to install the feature patch directly from this update site:
http://dist.springsource.com/release...hes/bug386070/

Please let us know what your experiences are using this patch!

HTH,
Martin

I did experience poor performance when switching editors/perspectives etc. After installing the patch the ide feel much more responsive.

I discovered that STS 3.0.0 has been bundled for Eclipse 3.7.2 . The links are just missing from the download page.

To get a download link, replace "4.2" with "3.7" in the link from http://www.springsource.org/downloads/sts-ggts .

For example,

STS 3.0.0 on Eclipse 3.7.2 (for linux-gtk):
http://download.springsource.com/rel...nux-gtk.tar.gz

GGTS 3.0.0 on Eclipse 3.7.2 (for linux-gtk):
http://download.springsource.com/rel...nux-gtk.tar.gz

I wonder why these versions aren't published on the download page.

I'm having problems with Eclipse 4.2 because of this bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385272
The most annoying is the flashing and slowness when I switch to another file/editor.
Others have critized the slowness problems too:

I'm glad STS/GGTS 3.0 is available on Eclipse 3.7.2 too.

Hey!

Yes, those builds are there (they exist) and you can download and use them. But we haven't run the full testing cycle on them, therefore they don't appear on the official download page.

In addition to this we are heavily discussing this performance issue at the moment to come up with a good solution for the upcoming versions. One option could be to ship 3.1.0.M1 on top of Eclipse 3.8 as the main distribution, but that hasn't been decided yet. I will keep you posted.

Hey!

Since you asked for it and just in case you missed this: We published STS 3.1.0.M1 with 4.2- AND 3.8-based distributions. So you can easily use STS 3.1.0.M1 based on the Eclipse 3.8 platform if you observe performance or other issues with the 4.2-based platform:

Hi Martin,

I am still experiencing this issue in STS 3.1.0.

I switch from the spring xml editor to the standard editor and it does seem to improve performance. I do notice that the standard xml editor is slow to render the xml, there's a noticeable pause before it displays.

Using the spring editor, the IDE locks up for about 10+ seconds. I can see the building workspace is happening in the Progress bar but nothing really is being built, since I hadn't changed any source.

Kiren

Hey Kiren!

Can you take a thread dump during these 10+ seconds where the IDE locks up? (using jps and jstack)
That would be great and could help us identifying the problem.

Thanks,
Martin
