How can the performance of the Editor be optimized?

Abstract: How can the performance of the Editor be optimized?

Issue :

When navigating or typing code in the Editor, JBuilder appears to slow down or hesitate. How can I increase the performance and response of the Editor?

Solution :

Here are a few ways to performance tune the Editor for quicker responsiveness:

  • If you have many projects open in JBuilder, try closing the ones you are not currently working with.
  • Disable or Increase the parse delay for Code Insight

Right-click in Editor | Preferences | Editor | Code Insight

  • Turn off Smart Indent (if available)
  • Increase the parse delay for the Java Structure feature

Right-click in Editor | Preferences | Editor | Java Structure

  • Keep projects and files on your local hard drive, rather than keeping the source on network shares.

If you need to share the source code across your development team, use a VCS (e.g. CVS, etc.).
