Just running up some templates when I encountered the 2 following:

1) Context Menu>Refresh on the Preview pane of the HTML editor produces ‘Page can not be displayed’

2) CSS Editor is very very slow.

Using: XP SP2/JDK1.5.0_u3/Eclipse3.1/MyEclipse4.0M2 for 3.1

Cheers

1) A new preview pane will be in our M3 release, see if that is any better.

2) Are you sure you are using the “MyEclipse CSS Editor”?

Thanks – a refresh would be useful when modifying files on which the rendering depends – such as an external css.

2) Are you sure you are using the “MyEclipse CSS Editor”?

I’d opened a css file from the MyEclipse prespective. I’ve just checked by changing the colour preferences in the MyEclipse CSS editor. So it would appear that it is the MyEclipse one.

It can take seconds to update the screen on trivial edits. The attached Outline ditto.

Is your CSS file very large? Does it hve a lot of active error markers in it?

[ahado]

All of 42 lines; no error markers.

Just at the moment it seems a bit more responsive but still showing hesitations in echoing characters – especially when typing colour hex codes.

Machine has plenty of memory and other editors in Eclipse are fine.

I have the same problem when editing jsp files: There is a 1-3 second delay after typing each character. Saving, however, is reasonably fast.
I am using WinXPSP2, 2CPU-3GHZ machine, 2GB RAM with Eclipse 3.1 and MyEclipse 4.0M2.

I would be glad if you could help.

ahado,
Are you starting MyEclipse like this:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx256m

If you aren’t, please add those command line arguments to give the IDE more memory. If the reconciler (real time parser) is constantly causing swaping to disk in the CSS editor which would not be uncommon since the default heap size is 64mb and MyEclipse consists of more than 140 plugins.

adeimer,
Please read my post to ahado as well, if you guys aren’t explicitly giving Eclipse more memory, it won’t take it and it will run dog slow.

support-rkalla,
I am using vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx768m.

Anything wrong with that? Seems like plenty of memory to me?!?

[Riyad Kalla]

adeimer,
Is this in the CSS editor for you as well, or in another editor?

[ahado]

I’ve been launching from the Desktop icon installed by Eclipse 3.1 installation. This has -vmargs -Xmx512m which should be plenty.
