Description Nick Boldt

2010-07-30 12:38:14 EDT

Steps to reproduce:

1. svn co http://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk jbosstools-trunk

2. Fire up Eclipse 3.6, with m2eclipe and subversive installed into it

3. File > New > Project, browse for above jbosstools-trunk folder.

4. Wait 10 mins for Eclipse to load the project (or, in some cases, run out of memory and crash).

5. subsequent restarts are insanely slow as well due to svn cache/status checking

----

Is there a way / should there be a way to have large projects be loaded incrementally in the background so that they don't block the use of Eclipse, or in fact the whole system? Sure, reading from disk is time/cpu consuming, but surely it could be 'nice'd so it doesn't crash/hang/block so much of the system's resources?

Admittedly this is perhaps an svn issue, not strictly an Eclipse resources issue. I just thought I'd start w/ the top level to see if there's something that can be done to chunk or nice the initial file i/o process.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
