Hello, In our project we use Ivy and the Ivy plugin for Eclipse. The project is rather large and is made out of ~15 separate subprojects, but they are all interdependent.
What happens now is that when I open a Java or text file anywhere, type space or anything at all, and then press Save, I have to wait sometimes up to a minute, and sometimes half an hour (and sometimes Eclipse just runs out of memory and crashes). This is obviously not acceptable for development, so I was wondering if anyone has any ideas what may be wrong, or any tips how to improve performance. The projects are interdependent, as I said. However, at one time I would be working on only one project. Perhaps the problem would be solved if I closed all the other projects, but if I do that then the dependencies will be broken and the other 14 projects won't build. I used to work with Maven and I remember that it worked just fine when I closed a related project. This is probably because there was a local repository that was independent of Eclipse, so that the JAR files could be referenced even without Eclipse running. For some reason, Ivy seems to depend on Eclipse for providing the dependencies, and the dependencies stop working when one or more projects are closed. Thanks for the help in advance! Csaba
