IAM installation results in extremely slow Eclipse startup [message #14266]

I'm at ApacheCon 08 and after attending the IAM presentation I thought I'd
add the plugin to my Eclipse Version: 3.3.2 Build id: M20080221-1800
running on my MacBook Pro laptop. Plugin installation was successful but
now Eclipse takes several minutes to start up and display the workplace
selection dialog. Any suggestions as to how to tune the startup process
for a more normal startup?

This is the first time we get such a report. IAM does nothing special
during eclipse startup, but you might want to open a bugzilla with the log
files for eclipse so we can look for something suspicious.

For reference, I use it on both an iMac and MacBook (both intel based), as
well as Windows and have noticed no delays on startup.

That's pretty surprising, given that there are quite a few bug reports
on the Q4E googlecode issue tracker relating to slow start up (there is
a relationship there right?). IAM in general is very slow in a large
workspace, especially if there are snapshot dependencies.

Sometimes it takes nearly an hour for Eclipse to start up in my case.

Hello Dave,

If I understood the original question, it was reporting a long delay to
display the workspace selection dialog (that is, before opening any
workspace).

This is not related to other performance reports in q4e issue tracker,
since those reports are about performance on large workspaces.

We are actively working on performance, by the way.

Abel,

Thanks for the update. Maybe I missed the point of the original post.
Is the Q4E issue tracker going to be ported over to Eclipse bugzilla, by
the way? It's very confusing having two places to track issues.

Moving q4e issues to bugzilla? [message #15758 is a reply to message #14332]

Hi Dave,

I agree that it would be much better to have all issues in a single place,
so you get my +1 for moving the tickets in q4e's tracker to bugzilla.

Some issues were already moved by committers (specially those related to
the pom editor), but this is a topic where community participation can
make the difference. It would be of great help if interested parties could
move their favorite bugs and close them as "Moved-to-IAM" in q4e's tracker
(I've just created that state).

Thanks!
Abel Muiño.

Only the committers have permission to close issues? Can't you automate
the process somehow? At least put a message on the Q4E home page saying
that the issue tracker is not in use?

Hi Dave,
I'm not sure if non-committers can close issues at google... I can't find
a way to configure that.

We need to make more obvious that the q4e site is "closing". It is not
actually useless, since the embedder bundles will be generated on
googlecode for a while.

Thanks!
