Eclipse help very slow to start on Suse 11.0 [message #492522] Tue, 20 October 2009 12:01 Go to next message

Hi,

We are using Eclipse help system to provide on-line help for our applications on non-Windows platforms. We have been using Eclipse 3.3 so far, which worked for us. Recently I started to look into Eclipde 3.5.1, and noticed a strange problem. The Infocenter some times takes a very long time to start on Suse 11.0.

Here is my test environment:

Fresh install of Suse Linux 11.0 x86 32bit
Fresh install of Eclipse 3.5.1 classic SDK for Linux x86 32bit GTK
Sun JRE 1.6.0_16 x86 32bit

Here my command line to start Infocenter:

/home/sbao/eclipse/jre/bin/java -classpath /home/sbao/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.help.base_3.4.0.v2009 09170800.jar org.eclipse.help.standalone.Help -data /home/sbao/sa_help_launcher/workspace -configuration /home/sbao/sa_help_launcher/configuration -command start -eclipse_home /home/sbao/eclipse -debug

After I execute the above command line, I see the following output:

--------------------------------------------
Debugging is on.
Lock obtained.
isApplicationRunning? false

Ensured old .connection file is deleted. Launching Eclipse.

isApplicationRunning? false
isApplicationRunning? true

--------------------------------------------

As far as I tested, it can takes a very long time for the "The isApplicationRunning? true" to appear, some time up to 50 seconds. What really makes me to think that there must be a bug somewhere is that moving my mouse during the long wait times can suddenly make the loading process to become successfully completed.

Eclipse 3.4.2 has the same problem. But Eclipse 3.3 is always fast.

Is this a known bug? Did anyone see this before?

Thanks in advance.

I can't think of any reason why it would start up slower, both use the same server. I notice you had the debug flag set. Does it make any difference if you remove that flag?
