I have had this before and after switching computers and a long time of happy developing, I'm having it again: Eclipse taking extremely long to open simple text files.
What's happening, what's changed is:
My environment is:
I realize that reinstalling Eclipse/STS would be an option, but in stead of taken half a day to get it just right again, I would prefer to just fix the problem. Any ideas?
Is there any way to trace where eclipse is spending its time, some kind of high level debug output?
Well, after removing *.js from the file associations, the problem seemed to go away. After that I readded it again and everything was good again. Thanks @Cristophe for pointing me in the right direction
