xtend is awesome, eclipse is not

[Salvatore Romeo]

While Xtend is a wonderful language for improving the developer experience, eclipse is the worst IDE ever. It freezes continuously and most of the time I've to wait for 30 seconds or more for the IDE to be available again, make me wasting precious time.

Is it a common problem or just my configuration? (win7, eclipse Kepler SR1, xtend 2.5.3, jrebel, eclipsejetty plugin latest)

Make sure you give Eclipse enough heap space and (when running Java 7 or below) give it some extra permgen size.

This is what I have in most of my eclipse.ini files:

-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

-Xmx1512m

Is it happening only for long xtend files near the end? There was an issue where xtend files bigger than few hundred lines were unbearably slow, when you are editing end of it. Workaround is to split them into smaller files and add new methods at the top of file instead at the bottom ;)
