    JBoss tools with eclipse VERY slow

    kinghoward

      EDIT: I used JBoss tools 3.2.0.v20100720-0040-H162-M1  (got the version wrong below). The Jboss AS VM arguments below are the arguments I used after clicking on Open Launch Configuration from by double clicking on the server.

      +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

       

      I installed JBoss tools (Update-3.1.1.v201006011046R-H111-GA) to eclipse (helios), and everything is runs very slow, it takes about 30 minutes to start JBoss AS in eclipse.

       

      I have VMWare workstation installed, and on my host OS, the above combination runs at reasonable speed, but not on a virtual machine (VM). The vm is given 8 cpu processors (i7 2.8ghz), 4 gigs of RAM, and runs on CentOS 5.5 32bit. I tried to change the eclipse.ini file to have the following settings:

      --launcher.XXMaxPermSize

      1024m

      -vmargs

      -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5

      -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

      -Xms256m

      -Xmx1024m

       

      But eclipse is still very slow with JBoss tools installed.

       

       

      and I have these parameters for the JBoss AS java VM arguments:

      Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024

      But, JBoss AS is very slow to start with all the web services loaded.

       

      I have a seperate eclipse galiano installation with lots of plugins, and that runs great on the vm, but not the eclipse with JBoss tools.

       

      My host machine has 8 core i7 2.8ghz, 12 gigs RAM.

       

      Any ideas about changing any settings so that I can get the combination to work faster in my VM?

          JBoss Tools 3.1.1 isn't compatible with Helios.

          If you want to use Helios, you need to install JBos Tools 3.2.0 (http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/trunk/) and webtools 3.2.1 (http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads/drops/R3.2.1/R-3.2.1-20100730021206/ or http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/repository/helios/) that fixed some performance issues.

            Changing the eclipse.ini will not affect in any way how the server starts up inside eclipse. You must instead open the server's launch configuration. You can do this by double-clicking the server, and then selecting open launch configuration.

             

            JBossTools does not use the eclipse.ini file in any way and instead launches the java command directly.

              As edited in the original message, I got the Jboss tools version typed here wrong, I do actully use 3.2.0.v20100720-0040-H162-M1.

               

              I also have eclipse web tools platform 3.2.1.v201007071800 installed. I installed the "all-in-one" package of eclipse ee helios.

               

              Any other ideas?

                thanks for the quick reply.

                 

                In addition to editing the eclipse.ini, I did in fact edit the JBoss AS server's launch configuration, and as in the original post, I have these as the parameters for the VM, which is increated by at least 4 times from the original settings:

                -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024

                 

                Any other ideas?

                  Hi!

                  I have the same problem. But in my case, I'm running Eclipse 3.5.2 SR2 with JBoss Tools 3.1.1.GA, and running in MacBook Pro Core 2Doua 2,53 Hz + 4G of RAM DDR3 + HD 7.200 rpm.

                  It's not a server!

                   

                  And the Eclipse becomes very very slow after JBoss Tools installation.

                    Tiago,

                    Please open Progress View. What do you see there when JBT getting slow?

                      I'm also having problems with foreground thread pauses when using JBoss Tools. It would appear that the entire Eclipse hangs when for instance moving the Project Explorer with the cursor keys, passing by the "JBoss 6.0 Runtime" classpath element. There is no discernible Task going on in the Progress View, since the SWT thread is stuck.

                       

                      I tried it in a debugger, and got this:

                      Looks like some expensive classpath code was unexpectedly called from the UI thread. This is on Helios SR1 with JBoss Tools H28 Beta 2.

                       

                      Keep up the good work - in general ;-)

                        Hej Jesper,

                         

                        Yes, your conclusion is right and we actually already got it reported and it is fixed in the nightly builds.

                        Until we get CR1 out you can use the nightly build to avoid this problem.

                         

                        sorry for the problems!

                          1000 tak - I did search for the issue but must have overlooked it.

                           

                          3.2.0 is looking good for EE 6 work -- I'm downloading the nightly right now.

                            Nightly build fixed my problem -- slight delay initially to fill the cache, from then on, no pauses.
