NetBeans IDE 6.7 Beta (Build 200904242137) Java: 1.6.0_10; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 11.0-b15 System: Windows Vista version 6.0 running on x86; Core 2 Duo, 1.86Ghz, 2GB RAM This might sound a bit melodramatic, but it's been sooo frustrating using Netbeans 6.7 (and to a lesser degree 6.5). I've been a long-time Netbeans supporter & have always told my Eclipse friends to switch... But if the exceptionally long wait times in the source editor between keystrokes, copy & paste and other editing does not improve dramatically, this will be the last project I'm doing using Netbeans... Or at least on any of the Version 6's... Sometimes waiting over 20 seconds for Netbeans to respond to a keystroke in the Mobility editor??? Guys, c'mon, this is unacceptable. I've had to teach myself to type by memory, then sit back, take a sip or two of my 'Red Bull', then wait for the IDE to catch up. I'm not even going to mention the time it takes to switch between the visual editor & the source. That's been a disaster ever since the Version 6's hit the street... You could go on a coffee break in the time it takes to switch between the two. I pray this is a Vista issue.. I'll try it on my Linux box & update this. Regards Sam
I understand that you are talking about Visual Designer right? Could you tell me how big your Visual Midlet is. Number of components and line of code. Thanks,
I'm talking about the source code editor & the Visual Designer. The main problem I'm referring to here is in the source code editor, where it takes a very long time to respond to key presses. I've got 6,473 lines of code, 21 forms, 30 items & 59 command items. Switching between the editor & designer has been a b1tch since NB 5.5... but that's not the main issue I'm raising here.
I've installed NB6.7 on my Linux box (Ubuntu, dual-booting), so hardware specs are identical. The source editor is far more responsive on Linux... Not sure why exactly. I made sure that in both cases (Vista & Ubuntu) I only run Netbeans & not other stuff as well, so the playing field should be pretty level.
This is very interesting.. Could someone from QA can confirm it? Thanks
I can see two separate problems here first (most likely not Mobility related) is Java Editor performance I can't do much about it and it'd be very helpful if you could submit issue against Java Editor. Second problem is generation of Visual Midlet source code which is repeated every time some changes are made in Visual Midlet (not source code itself). Every time user changes something and switch back to Source, code is generated from scratch and with hundreds of components in Visual Midlet it can take relatively long time. Possibly fix for this issue may be a smarter code generation which generates/changes source code based on changes components. In this case it wouldn't be necessary to generate entire source code for Visual Midlet only small part related to the actions taken by user.
Thanks kharezlak, I'll log another issue against Java Editor. Regarding the code creation in the Visual Designer, I would think that the underlying code should change at each change in the Visual Designer, not when you hit 'View Source'? If every time a user changes something and switch back to Source & all code is generated from scratch, that's kinda dumb... Having to recreate all the visual elements each time I switch from source to visual, I can understand, but not the other way around. Surely changing something in the Visual Midlet should immediately be reflected in the code, it is an atomic change that is "guaranteed" to work since it should be valid Java code & Netbeans is in control of the code change via the visual interface.

Hey, developers! The issue and description are here: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=166843
extreme slowly keyboard typing in j2me projects in NetBeans versions 6.7, 6.7.1, 6.8M2 problem occur on laptop with Core 2 Duo 2GHz processor and 3G RAM. after key typed is pause with 100% processor loading. in 6.5 problem not detected and this version work properly on netbook with atom processor! Problem especially strong while editing files with ~2000lines under J2ME project.

Please everybody, goes to http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=166843 and vote on thread. if number of vote are greater than 10 they possibly solve our problem. thanks
As I understand this issue is about 6,473 lines of code, 21 forms, 30 items & 59 command items in one single source and single Visual Designer file. This is unsupported pattern, please split your project into multiple design fragments for such a big mobile project.
