Eclipse (Juno) hangs on JSF EL Expression Auto Complete

Question

I am working with Eclipse Juno and a JSF 2.1 Project.

Auto-Complete for EL Expressions inside a Facelets file is excruciatingly slow. Slow to the point where if I try to auto-complete a JSF Bean with 20 or so methods, Eclipse editor will hang for 10-15 seconds until I see the members/properties list.

The way I see it I have 2 solutions, I don't know how to implement neither, so help on any would help. (With preference to the first)

1. Resolve the slowness problem. My guess is Eclipse is doing a bunch of stuff I don't need when I press ctrl-space and if could disable those that should make it faster. (Educated Guess)

2. Disable Auto-Complete for El Expressions completely and install JBoss Tools (Which I must say, works flawlessly but when in conjunction with the native auto-complete support, It still hangs on every ctrl-space).

So, either solution would help - Resolve slowness or Disable Auto-Complete all together.

Thanks in Advance!!

Answer 1

Well.. Since no one is answering..

I removed the JSF facet and installed jboss tools. Works fine since I build my project from outside of eclipse.

There are some caveats like support for certain content but all in all that's the "lesser of evils" solution.
