What are your experiences with WTP, especially the most recent releases?.I just want to point out that the team should focus on the things which are essential to most of the users in the first place and afterwards work on implementing super-duper-features. In fact I believe that WTP is a good open-source project developed by a talented team.īut obviously the project has a problem with its quality assurance, especially in terms of performance which affects usability and user acceptance. jsp editing/validating) are often ignored or closed after some time, some examples: here, here, and here. have a look at the page - last update took place in 2008).īug reports and Newsgroup posts regarding to performance of basic features (e.g. The worst thing is that I've got the feeling that the WTP dev team does not care much about performance This can be especially seen on older machines which do contains only a single core cpu. SWT is non-reponsive for some fraction of seconds, cpu usage is very high (especially after a built took place - if you look at the system jobs, several jsp/javascript indexers are doing work for some minutes, even if all WTP build validators have been disabled), opening new files are slower, navigating through the project etc. We don't need high sophistic features like Dali (should JPA tools really covered by a webtools project?), Libra or a visual xml editor in the first place.Īnother interesting point is that WTP seems to slow down the whole IDE.
We only need basic WTP functionality for developing jsps, xmls and xsd. One of our applications (dynamic web project) contain about 4000 java classes and 700 jsps/jsp fragments. In fact I am really wondering why WTP gets slower with each release.
I am currently evaluating eclipse 3.6.2 with WTP 3.2.3 which should replace eclipse 3.4.2 with WTP 3.0.4 as being our main IDE.Īnd I have to say that once again I am quite disappointed in concerns of performance: WTP 3.2.3 seems to be much slower than 3.0.4. Our company is using eclipse since several years now (we are using WTP since release 0.7)
