I had the same problem, and I found out that it looks like a known bug in DALI (Eclipse Java Persistence Tools), since at least eclipse 3.8, which could lead to the fact that saving the action in the java editor will be extremely slow .
Since this is not yet fully resolved in Kepler (20130614-0229), and because I do not need JPT / DALI in my eclipse, I manually deleted the org.eclipse.jpt functions and plugins.
What I've done:
1.) exit eclipse
2.) go to my eclipse installation directory
cd eclipse
and follow these steps:
* Nicks:
mkdir disabled mkdir disabled/features disabled/plugins mv plugins/org.eclipse.jpt.* disabled/plugins mv features/org.eclipse.jpt.* disabled/features
window:
mkdir disabled mkdir disabled\features mkdir disabled\plugins move plugins\org.eclipse.jpt.* disabled\plugins for /D /R %D in (features\org.eclipse.jpt.*) do move %D disabled\features
3.) Restart eclipse.
After starting up and the first time you use it, eclipse may warn you about the need to reconfigure your content assistant . Do this in the settings dialog.
Done.
After removing DALI / JPT, my eclipse feels good again. The user interface is no longer blocked and waits a second while saving the file.
