Eclipse Ganymede HTML editor incredibly slow when editing attributes

Question

I recently upgraded to Eclipse Ganymede from Europa and now I'm finding that when I'm editing JSP files the IDE crawls when editing HTML attributes (but not JSP attributes).

Has anyone experienced this, or have any suggestions?

Also if you can point me to a better place to ask Eclipse related questions, do tell.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The visual editors in Eclipse are slow. I have no idea why that is; other graphics frameworks achieve mindboggling effects in Java in real time so they shouldn't be that slow.

I suggest you open a bug report against Eclipse. This way, you can give them feedback and see what they think about it plus you can track any progress if they accept it.

As for asking Eclipse questions, go to the newsgroups. There are also mailing lists but those are only for developers working on Eclipse (not those who work with it). So they are only an option should you choose to work on this bug :)
