Eclipse Juno

one thing that bothers me deeply in Juno is that Alt+left/right arrows don’t work as before. The navigation history is kind of screwed up, I don’t know exactly what happened. But since I already spent too much time installing plugins, ADT, etc, I’ll stick to it.

So… I’m the only one here who likes Eclipse Juno?

The UI has changed… I don’t see a reason to love it or hate it yet, so I don’t really care.

:-*

I like it too, don’t worry. Let the oldies complain, us youngsters are the future anyway ;D

Wait!

There’s a bug in the theme settings. Select Windows 7 Classic (or just Classic), and then restart Eclipse. Badoomf! It all looks proper again. Thank goodness for that. I feel another upgrade coming on.

…though the whole UI does feel mysteriously more sluggish and I can’t double-click to maximise the console view window in my other monitor. Grr.

will take a deeper look what cool new features eclipse now has.
Last time is a while back^^

First thing I noticed was that eclipse startup is still slow :(, compared with netbeans 4sec vs 44sec

4sec?! are you sure? Eclipse seems faster to me.

Well, jEdit the fastest less than 2sec :wink:

are you using 7.2, got a huge startup boost

I used NB6 when for first experience.

Nice one, no more insane whiteness! As to the sluggishness: did you turn off animations? That helps a lot for me.

And what do ya know, creating a fresh workspace and importing projects into it greatly sped up the startup time for some reason. I guess my Eclipse 3.7 workspace (with the same projects) was causing a headache for Juno in some way or another. It actually booted in a few seconds.

I’m now a happy camper.

Heh, I was waiting for someone to point that out. 'Tis why I tried to keep my complaints specific to what you can see from static screenshots. Will I appreciate the new appearance more if I start using it?

No, it’s just as hideous on the move, especially as it’s sluggish. The whole thing feels like it’s being software rendered and composited. Bizarre regression.

Don’t worry ra4king, one day you’ll be one of the “oldies,” complaining about how much better stuff used to be! It’s part of why getting old sucks. :slight_smile:

The older I get, the better I was.

Noooooo!!! I’ll stay young foreveeeeerrrrr!!! :’(

This is ridiculous, it takes around 230ms for Juno on OSX Lion to switch tabs on a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo with 4GB or ram!

Is Eclipse just slow on OSX? I was getting around 300ms before changing to the classic theme.

I’m going to log into Windows and compare because that is just unacceptable in this day and age >:(

It’s not massively fast here either (Win 7, 2.6ghz i7, 6gb RAM, server JRE7 with all sorts of tuning magic running eclipse, super fast Nvidia, etc, etc). but I do notice that there’s a lot going on when you select a different tab - the menus are all completely changing, and all sorts of other little thingies change.

Cas :slight_smile:

Juno runs perfectly fine for me on XP (same specs). Tab switching is near instant on XP compared to the quarter second delay on OSX Lion. it’s possible it’s to do with Eclipse rapidly triggering automountd, which might be caused by an eclipse.ini setting, but at least it’s a little progress.

IIRC I had no issues with Juno on Linux either, and it might just be down to some of the plugins I installed for PlayN.

We’ll see.
