JDE-2.3.3beta2 - Field and Method Completion
Field and Method completion seems to slow. There seems to be at least 2 to 3 second delay in showing the dialog box for possible completions. Jeba __ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com
JDE-2.3.3beta2 - Field and Method Completion
Jeba Bhaskaran writes: Field and Method completion seems to slow. There seems to be at least 2 to 3 second delay in showing the dialog box for possible completions. The response time is a function of two factors: using Java reflection to gather information about a class to be completed and the need to transmit this back to Emacs via standard I/O. We cache the results of this process the first time any field or method of a class is compled so that further completions on that class should be very fast. I don't know how else to speed up the process. - Paul

It shouldn't even be that bad to set up, if you properly abstract how you dispatch a subprocess request. One use is for the JDEE to build its own completion database, e.g., semantic, that does not rely on Java reflection.

Re: [jde] JDE-2.3.3beta2 - Field and Method Completion
Compared to 2.3.2, 2.3.3beta2 Field and Method completion is slow. In 2.3.2, completion was almost instaneous, except the first time completion was called.
