Generally bad performance with Eclipse [message #1828604]

Hello everyone

I've been using Eclipse for a few years now, but recently I seem to be getting extremely bad performance, on relatively simple tasks. For example, copy/pasting will take a few seconds to process, and when I go to ctrl+click on something to shortcut to its location, often the text wont highlight at all and not let me go through (even on class names etc that I'd successfully clicked to earlier the same session).

My Eclipse is pretty vanilla. I'm running 4.15.0, and only have one third-party plugin which has never caused problems in previous installations.

My PC has 32GB RAM, and an i7 5820k. Neither resource seems to be spiking at all when Eclipse is having trouble processing things.

Anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks!

OS clipboards can hold more than one representation of what you're copying, so performance of that is highly dependent on what you're copying and from where. So what are you copying, and from where?

It's literally only tiny things, and will vary. Say I have a variable name that's 10 characters long, and need to use it a few times in a row for different calls to set properties on an object. I'll copy-paste the variable name, the first time I paste it'll take a few seconds before appearing, then I press . and the call list will appear immediately. Then I'll paste it a second time and it appears straight away, but I have to wait 5 or so seconds for the call list after pressing .. The third time everything might work fine, it's completely random. Sometimes I'll even type a line of code and it wont appear until a few seconds later, then all appear at once

I know a few seconds doesn't seem much but it adds up and it's really slowing me down

Ok, but you've not mentioned where it's being copied from. This variable name, is it in the Java Editor? The C/C+ Editor? Somewhere else?

If you can get a dump of what's going on during one of these pauses, it might be a starting point for having something done about them. https://wiki.eclipse.org/How_to_report_a_deadlock
