HI, just got a new Labop (IBM T43, 1.5GB, ATI Radeon 700 Graphics card, fast CPU, XP Swapping disabled). I installed java sdk 1.5_04, netbeans 4.1. Installation is fine, netbeans starts just fine, When I try to edit a jsp or a .java file: - the editor needs MINUTES to start !!! - to change the text cursor poition takes about 1 (ONE) minute - any menu popup also takes around a minute (I'm NOT kidding, I mean minute not second, not milliseconds) This behaviour is consistent - there is no swapping issue or what ever, garanteed! The same project, libraries ... on my desktop machine runs w/o problems I reinstalled Java and netbeans several times, tested to make a new web project, created a jsp file - same issue!!! I switched to the Java 1.4.2_b08 : problem gone (I think you know Netbeans is slow, but here we talk about a magnitude of 100 faster) Eclipse and other java appls are running on the laptop - no problem, unfortunatelly I've no other swing apps instelled on the labtop! I'm nt sure what kind of issue that is - for me it's a total defect, netbeans editors are 100% unusable on that machine.
It seems like there is some general problem. Have you seen it just with JDK 1.5.0_04 ? If I understand it correctly , it dissapears on JDK 1.4.2_08, Am I right ? It could be problem with drawing, so try to put the switch on your command line (or modify netbeans.conf) : -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true
heinzdoerr, does the following blog entry answer your problem? http://www.digitalearth.com.au/2005/05/06/netbeans-display-woes/
By the way it is a ATI Mobility Radeon X300 (not 700). Yes the resolution from the digitalearch page helps (the Dell and IBM having the same Graphics card). Thanks a lot for the hint - (I didn't find it with google) I needed to switch the Radion Graphics card to high performance mode. hope the following helps other people with same issue: there are 3 possible solutions to this performance issue: ========================================================= 1. java 1.4.2_08 ================ works if no java 1.5 feature needed (a little bit slower than 2) or 3) but ok 2. with java 1.5: ================= make sure that the graphics accelator is switch to high performance. Good performance but the problem is: power consuption goes up, batterly life goes down and even worse, the the fan gets louder - and that all to draw 60 lines of colored text !!! Unacceptable - a 3 GHz processor can't render text (0.02 page updates per second) - a big java idiot in my opinion 3. with java 1.5: ================= I've tryed the -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true proposal with the graphics card switched to best battery life: results in great performance !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've just added that switch to my desktop PC (3GHz Pentium, Matrox G550) responsivness of netbeans 4.1 / java 1.5 is getting BETTER !!!! THIS IS THE ONLY REALLY GOOD SOLUTION - mmirilovic thanks for the proposal!!! --------- Thanks for the extremely fast help - great ------------
Consider as solved, closing.
