Unable to create ExtJs workspace with Eclipse

[arnoldc]

I have trouble to create a ExtJS project with Eclipse (Helios) on OS-X. I have no issue with any other PHP/Javascript projects. Eclipse will simply stuck in "Building workspace", suck up most of the CPU time and eventually die out with java heap space.

I have tried the following:
- modified eclipse.ini file to crank up memory, try both 512M and 1024M with same result
- clean up Eclipse workspace with "-clean" and "-initialize"
- remove .metadata data to start from fresh
- download latest Eclipse IDE

It seems Eclipse is stuck in some recursive operations. Any insight. What other IDEs will you recommend as I am out of idea with Eclipse....

try Unchecking Build Automatically option under Project menu. There is a thread about recommendations http://www.sencha.com/forum/showthre...ptana-Studio-3

Thanks. It solves the initial workspace issue by skipping it but Eclipse remains very sluggish and causes a bus exception when I try to open up a file. My Eclipse is stable for any other projects just not with ExtJs in it.

I switch to NetBean IDE and work like a charm on the same project folder. Not sure what gives. Will take a closer look at other IDEs per your suggestion later.

Disable "JavaScript Validator" in "project properties" > "Builders":

Thanks, by disabling the javascript validators, my eclipse drops back from constant 20-30%CPU usage back to normal 1-2% idle cycle and it becomes usable.

So in order to use Eclipse with ExtJs, one has to do the following
1. uncheck Build->Build Automatically
2. uncheck Project->Properties->Javascript Validtors

So essentially, I am using it as a text editor. Probably not a good choice for ExtJS development.

1. uncheck Build->Build Automatically

This is not necesary.

Are you developing your server code in Java (Servlet, JSP, JAX, etc.)?

Very true. I can build the workspace without step 1.

The backend will be done in Java eventually but PHP will be used for evaluation initially.

Hi, team!
I have the same problem: when I use the Extjs4 framework in a eclipse indigo project (dynamic web project), te IDE begins to consume all my system resources and I can't do anything... why?
Anybody can help me? I need help...
Thank you so much!

P.S: I've tried unchecking the "automaticaly rebuild" option and, too, unchecking the "javascript validation" option in the IDE (eclipse indigo, I repeat...) configuration...

Disable javascript validator builder in the project:

Project > Properties > Builders > uncheck "JavaScript Validator"

Regards.

Hi,
I've tried to disable that option and (firstly I think that is not the solution: instead Eclipse I'm using scintilla editor...) that don't take any effect, my eclipse is still crashing.
Any idea?
Thanks...
