Very slow autocomplete in vim

[Алексей Кардапольцев]

When I pressed ^x^u it takes about 3 sec to autocomplete pop-up. Is it usual behaviour? From eclimd logs I got that it tries to recompile whole project each time I want complete.
When I try autocomplete directly in eclipse it works fine.

I use Eclipse Indigo, eclim 1.7.14, and working on scala project.

Thanks in advance for any help.

The first code completion after starting eclimd can be slow as eclipse
warms up its cache, but subsequent completions should be fast. Is that
the behavior your experiencing or are all completions slow? What OS
are you on?

What logs are you looking at that give you this impression?

It shouldn't be recompiling your whole project on completion attempts.
It will perform incremental builds when writing files though, but like
code completion, after that first save it should be fast and you
shouldn't even notice that it's doing anything.

Another thing to try is to run vim with the minimal environment to see
if the problem still occurs to determine if there is some setting or
plugin in your vim environment that may be contributing to the issue:

$ vim -u NONE -U NONE --cmd \
"set nocp | sy on | filetype plugin indent on | ru plugin/eclim.vim"

I'm install new eclipse, build eclim from source and now it works fine. Thanks for help.

First off, sorry for the late response... it's been a busy time at
work.

And it was still slow even with a minimal vim configuration?

Are you running vim in the console as well or are you using gvim in
this case as well?

So your previous message said it was working fine after a reinstall,
was that the case? Was it fast for your project until you changed
something? Can you reproduce the problem with a small test project
that you can give me?

Now I can't reproduse it. Works fine with new eclim and eclipse, and unfortunately I don't have enough time now to reinstall old version.

Thanks for help!

For those who are facing the same issue, try turning off "Build Automatically" in your Eclipse. In my case, Eclipse was building the workspace everytime autocomplete is required.
