Code Splitting Causes Eclipse to Freeze

[Mark Wengranowski]

Hi Everyone,

It seems that when i add code splitting to my program and compile it
Eclipse freezes when it tries to build the workspace.

It gets hung up on the javascript files in the deferredjs folder in
the war directory. They only way i have found to stop this is to
recompile the code without the code splitting.

GWT.runAsync(new RunAsyncCallback() {
public void onSuccess() {
cp.buildMainModule();
}
public void onFailure(Throwable t) {
//handle somehow
}
});

Sorry for this additional post but i accidently hit the post button
before i was done typing.

Adding the code example above is all im doing.

Im using GWT 2.4 w/latest update and Eclipse 3.7.

I had this once and I think Eclipse sees the generated deferred .js files and tries to validate them if you have the J2EE version of Eclipse installed. Seems like these files are quite complex and/or Eclipse somehow runs out of memory and freezes.

What I have done is to disable all JavaScript validation:

- Project preferences -> Builders -> disable JavaScript Validator.

- Project preferences -> Validation -> enable project specific settings -> disable any JavaScript validation

Hope this helps.

That seems to have fixed it. Thanks Jens.

An alternative would be to exclude the location, where the js files
are generated, from Eclipse processing. Mark the directory in the
eclipse properties (right mouse click) as "derived".
