I am using Eclipse Helios 3.6.0

I have pretty large application of around 10+ projects in the workspace.
After I sync my app with svn, i try to refresh the projects in eclipse IDE.
The refresh and the build process is taking more than 30 mins

Is there a way to improve the performance ?

Do you need to refresh all projects ? Do you need to keep them all open ? It would certainly help to either refresh only the projects you need to refresh, or close the projects you don't need to use.

I wish I could keep and one of my several Eclipse workspaces down to only 10 projects or so.

It certainly doesn't take me that long to refresh, even after a crash. Except for the dreaded "snap" crash, where apparently it intends to take a week or more rebuilding. And for that I just delete the snapshot files.

You might want to check your machine's virtual memory usage. It's possible that you're thrashing on the paging device.

The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.

You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Why am I so drawn to cherry pie? I can't seem to stop. Save me tiny ad!
