Every time I am inside a Java or XPages/Custom Control file and save the file it takes an unusual amount of time to complete the save operation (about 5 seconds).
While saving, the cursor rapidly switches between the standard cursor and the loading wheel - looks like it does so by the millisecond.
When inside a small project I have no issues - but after working a while and the project gets bigger the issue starts to show and worsens the bigger the project gets. It almost seems like the Domino Designer is trying to save every file in the project (which it does not do).
The only file I don't have this issue with is the faces-config.xml.
As mentioned above, I'm working with the IBM Domino Designer (9.0.1FP6). Also, the Domino Designer is running inside a Windows 10 Virtual Machine using VirtualBox.
The problem started to appear a couple of weeks ago.
No problems before that.
"Build Automatically" is not enabled and I made no significant changes to preferences - at least not that I'm aware of.
As Sven Hasselbach and Per Henrik Lausten pointed out the issue might be the server I am working on - Working on a local replica resolves the issue.

I'm a seasoned software engineer and have used eclipse for well over 10 years. In the last week, Eclipse has decided to rebel against me. I'm dumbfounded.
Problem: I'm getting periods of very long UI unresponsiveness - on the order of 3 to 10 seconds. Generally, I'll be typing when the UI just stops writing text. It can vary from displaying spinning circle to not rendering anything in the window. Workspace building also slows down significantly.
I'm pulling my hair out trying to get tasks done! Any help appreciated.
Details:
It appears to start 10 minutes or more after starting eclipse. If I restart, it'll be ok for a few minutes.
This can happen in during any text entry. Though it's especially bad on code completion cases (i.e. "dot, cmd+space). Eclipse can also become unresponsive during anything else (moving the cursor, changing tabs, scrolling, etc).
CPU is not maxed out, though it appears CPU is pretty consistently at or over 50% - so maybe eclipse as pegged one thread/core?
Things I've Tried:
Updated from Neon.3 to Oyxgen.2. Deleted all projects from workspace and reimported. Upgraded memory in ini to -Xms512m -Xmx4000m -XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m. Deleted some metadata from a eclipse resource dir (don't recall which). Updated Java. No change. Haven't tried uninstalling all eclipse and reinstalling yet.
Setup:
Windows 10 Home (up-to-date), 12GB RAM, 64 bit, Oxygen.2 (4.7.2)
How large is your project? Do you build using Eclipse, or do you build externally?
If you notice a progress bar in the lower right side of the GUI during these periods of unresponsiveness, it's likely Eclipse's Build Automatically feature causing your issue. If so, it can be disabled under Project -> Build Automatically.
I have a very weird situation. Since a few days, the following actions will crash my Windows 10 PC (using Notes R9.01FP8):
I open my Prefs page in the Domino Designer
click on the Source tab
move to a specific location in a table
then I add a Repeat control
I then open the Properties of the Repeat control
to set the data to JavaScript...
and nothing happens, until after a few seconds: BSOD - Unexpected Kernel Mode Trap in either win32kfull.sys or ntoskrnl.exe.
Sometimes, the JavaScipt box is displayed, so I can paste my code, but a short while later the PC still crashes.
I have to say that my PC crashed a lot lately, so I reinstalled Windows and all drivers, so there might be a rotten one that causes all this. According to DriverEasy, all drivers are now up to date. The Event viewer displays a BugCheck event, but nothing relevant (to me anyway).
What I did for further analysis:
I removed Cache.ndk, it didn't help (of course)
in a copy of the XPage, the system crashes when I add the Repeat
ditto, in a different XPage
it seems to work in a different Notes database, on a different XPage
so I created a new database, copied all elements from the original database over, and still the system crashes when I add the Repeat
I'll be doing so more tests, e.g. with an empty database and just one XPage, then adding my Prefs page, or with the same database but then on a server. Actually, one could say I'm kind of lost, and stumbling around in the dark.
My questions to the XPages/Eclipse gurus:
could it be the workspace, and is there any way to reset it?
do you have any suggestions how to get this solved?
Thanks!
The Windows Creator update that MS posted does not seem to fix the Designer crash.

Is there a way to identify what's going on with Eclipse when a file is saved?
My eclipse runs extremely slow (takes close to 3 minutes to save a file). Simple addition of a space in a file and save, it keeps saying 'Updating Navigator Content Viewer' and 'Remote System Explorer Operation' and simply freezes.
I am running on a powerful system with 16 gigs of ram and assigned 1 gig for eclipse. The way it performs is simple unacceptable and planning to switch all my projects to NetBeans rather than wasting hours on save.
Any hints on fixing this are appreciated.
Finally resolved the issue by getting rid of Eclipse.
Moved all my projects to NetBeans 8.2. Its a big relief to see my projects getting saved in a split second.
Coming to Eclipse, it is powerful and exceptional on all aspects other than the slowness during save. However, this frustrating issue alone makes me rate Eclipse 1 (may be 0) on a scale of 10. Cannot expect a developer to wait for 2 minutes to save a file (on a 16 gig system, with 4 gigs assigned to Eclipse) which would drag the productivity drastically.
Looks like this issue is not something new as I have seen many posts on various forums regarding the same. I don't understand how Eclipse never gave a thought on this slowness issue.
First you should try to look at this post so:
Check if it is the latest version (I personally run Neon 4.6 and it takes about 2 minutes to parse and save a 55MB file)
Check your JDK/JRE
You should also try to see if it doesn't come from your drive...
If you still have the problem, I suggest you look at the other Eclipse versions (Mars...)
Codekit is so darn slow in reloading files. Why is that and what can I do against it?
I use MAMP3 on Yosemite with Chrome 39. Refresh delay is on 0 seconds.
I just have a bunch of php files and some less. Nothing extraordinary.
And it reloads the files with a delay of about 10seconds.
The LESS files are compiled very fast, but not the page reload. Internet sharing is deactivated.
What else could be the problem?
From time to time there is a message Codekit connection is unstable. But everything is hosted local. How can this be unstable?
Okay. I figured out some things who slow down codekit significantly.
Mistake Nr. 1: Amount of Files
It seems to play a huge role how much files are added per project. My cms lives outside webroot but my less & css live inside webroot. So I threw in the whole project including the cms. This way I had no path conflicts (lazy me). This resulted in about 4000 Files. That is too much for codekit.
Solution: Still throw in the whole project but exclude the cms folders in codekit (Yeah I know RTFM)
Mistake Nr. 2: custom file extension
I started to work with twig files (after php was done) and miraculously browser refresh stoped working. Because Codekit doesn't doesen't seem to know twig. In order to keep Browser reload working one have to add twig into the Generig Page Extensions.
Thats it. Everything works just fine now.
Anyone know how to remove or supress the enoying dialog boxes when developing xPages
If you are just making small xpages application you might not see these very often, but the more complex your xPages get you see these all the time. specially when you navigate your xpage using the outline view or during build
I click the x several times every day to get rid of it, Not sure if the operation quits when I click the x or if it continues in the background.
I would like a setting to get rid of it once and for all
Well, in your designer, you should disable Build automatically in the Project menu. This will remove the constant build, but also means that you have to build manually, when needed.
You could also take a look at Nathan T. Freeman's post on the matter # Making Domino Designer work like you want
Are you using any java libraries added to the webinf/lib dir in your nsf? I noticed that when adding any jar files to the lib dir rebuilding your application can take ages..
I had 2 external jar files used in my project (contained within the database). It used to take around 5-10 minutes to compile the project. Any changes to the XPages/Custom Control/Java files needs a recompile. And you can imagine the frustration I had with the compilation time. Later I detached the jar files and put under the jvm\lib\ext folder. The compilation time drastically reduced to 1 minute. Still not happy.
As a next step, took a local replica of the database and started making the changes and recompilation on the local replica. Once done, replicated the databases and always previewed the changes on the server version. The compilation time is hardly 10 seconds. So 10 minutes to 10 seconds :)
Switch off build automatically, it will solve most of these.
There is also a known issue SPR SODY8Q9KNA where Java Design elements (new feature in 8.5.3) keep getting rebuilt on designer start up. That brings up the same pop-up.
There should be a fix for that in 8.5.3FP1 but I am not in an official position to say it will be in FP1 until it actually ships. You can check in the release notes as they are updated.
