Today I was forced to use a new IDE: MyEclipse.
At beginning I thought: “Yeah, it’s Eclipse tecnology, why it could be a bad thing?” Well MyEclipse is not bad… it’s fucking horrible.
But let’s start from the beginning.
Just right click on a fucking web project and here we go… 1061 MegaByte of trash. Are you fucking kidding me? And before you ask, clicking on the trash icon has no effect.
Ps: the problem was the javascript nature. Now it works like a charm. No problem with other eclipses. Bah

I’m sorry you had a terrible experience with this particular issue, glad you were able to resolve the problem.
We take performance seriously and are now working on performance issues across the board. This particular issue was caused by an over-ambitious and leaky JavaScript indexer, for which we did release a fix in the 8.6 stream soon after we located the problem. For MyEclipse 9, we’ve improved this further still.
Could you please tell me what version of MyEclipse Blue you are using so I can ensure we don’t have another issue? (Help > About – look at exact Build Id)
Thanks for your comment, i really appreciate it.
I’m using:
Version: 7.0
Build id: 7.0-20081201
And sorry for the “angry comment”. It was a really frustrating day. Aside from this issue all works perfectly.
Ah, that version of MyEclipse is over two years old (Dec 2008), and I believe it was the first release in which we included advanced JavaScript support; I do remember the performance issues too.
If you would like to update, I would recommend using MyEclipse 8.6.1 or you can wait until the month end and move to MyEclipse 9 directly (MyEclipse 9.0 Milestone 2 is the current release).
If, for some reason, you need to stay with the “7 series” of MyEclipse, based on Eclipse 3.4 / Ganymede, then you could use version 7.5 in which the JavaScript issues were fixed.
No problem on the “angry comment”, and glad you like the rest of the product!
