I have Eclipse Helios SR1 installed on Windows XP. I am writing/debugging Java code using JDK 1.6.
When I debug and I hit a breakpoint, Eclipse is fast to show me the stacktrace. (See #1 in attached image.)
However, the source code line highlight (light green, see #2 in attached image) is very slow to appear. Oddly, when I first installed Eclipse, this was very fast. Now it is very slow. It takes about 15 seconds to highlight as light green.
Any ideas what is wrong with my Eclipse install/config?
FYI: Very fast processor + 4GB of RAM. Plenty of disk space. I have tried a “Hello, World” test Java project. Just a few lines of code… still the same issue when hitting a vanilla breakpoint.
The answer is simple: Create a new workspace.
I did it and now my debugger is super-fast again.
