Slow Saving in Eclipse

Question

I use Eclipse 3.5 with Java 6u20, Tomcat 6.0.28, and I have a big problem: Everything worked fine, and somehow (I don't know how) Eclipse started very slowly.

When I edit a file, Eclipse freezes and shows me an info window saying "Saving .........

And it lasts about a minute or two, and tomcat starts publishing files. Until recently, this worked fine (everything was finished in 3 seconds).

I do not know what was changed in the project, and I tried to use different eclipse, tomcat, Java, ...

When I turn on system processes, it shows the system process: System: Status update for Tomcat ....

What could be wrong? Any clues?

Answer 1

To tell you what solved the problem: we installed Eclipse 3.6 and there we turned on the system processed in Process View. Above the process System: Status update for Tomcat ... there was a process of jewelry calculation.

We turned off all the decorations, except for SVN decorations (Window-Preferences-Label decorations) and keep everything in order.

There seems to be some limit to the number of project files that Eclipse behaves strangely over?

Answer 2

My save slows down after installing egit. I deleted it and everything returned.

Answer 3

On some Java projects in Eclipse, I observed a slow saving of about 2 seconds. In other projects saved were executed instantly. Eliminating all breakpoints resolved the issue.

Answer 4

I also had the same problem, during the save, I could see that processing the sonarlint takes a lot of time, so I right-click on the project properties, sonarlint → uncheck Run SonarLint automatically.

Basically, you can see what caused the slowdown while viewing the eclipse, and try to turn it off.
