I work on Spring MVC project in Eclipse Photon, The problem is that When I type in java pages the IDE becomes unresponsive, It takes 2 or 3 sec to type a character and same behavior when backspacing too. I have tried some suggestions from other posts System config :{ i5 8th gen, 8gb ram, 5400rpm hdd, win10 x64 } plugins installed:{jboss tools} Things I already tried :{ reinstalled eclipse photon,disabled validators, added -Xverify:none to eclipse.ini file, disabled everything in Content Assist} This lags only occur when editing the file, navigation and opening pages are fine.

Is this happening for all .java files? Are some worse than others? How large are the source files? – Ian McLaird Oct 31 '18 at 17:09

@IanMcLaird Yes, its happening across all .java files, I work with java files which has 300+, 500+ ,and some are 1000+ lines...but the issue is same for all files even for files with 60 lines. – Akshay Som Nov 01 '18 at 04:02

In my case the issue was that the eclipse workspace, installation and the project was at different directories [different logical drives]. Also It was running on hard disk. After bringing all thos location to one single logical drive did the trick for me, also i added a ssd which made everything smooth now
