IDE performance with extra referenced jars

Hi,



I have been testing Jabaco and found it interesting. Unfortunately the performance of the IDE drop (alot) when referencing extra jars. The ones i have tested with is lwjgl-2.7.1 (lwjgl.org )



jabaco takes about 50-60 seconds to load the project with 1 form and two small modules

Even when i open a module, type some code or close the project jabaco often stops to think around 10-20 seconds.

(if Import statements are used it's only getting worse)

Debugging starts after about 20 seconds

when starting the debug'er it says Elapsed - Total compilation: 8.564 - Dissolve Sourcefile: 8.439" - process method 0 - search method 0 - parse source 0





Is this a common problem ?

Any work arounds ?

It seems like there is no access to any support ????



There are some serious issues with the IDE performance :thumbdown: before this product would really be of much use besides "mini" apps where Java would be just a good.

It have been 1½ year since there was any improvements to the IDE ?(
WILL THERE BE A NEW VERSION THIS YEAR or the NEXT YEAR?? :sleeping: :S

Quoted from "IceFan"

Not from Manuel, the developer of Jabaco. Right.
I think that is one of the reasons, why the most active users like A1880 and Olimilo are no longer active on that board. Why helping newbies for a closed source program, where the developer say, that he wants to make money with it in the future, if the developer itself is no longer active on the board?

Only the Jabaco Framework is OpenSource.
Compiler and IDE are closed and only developed my Manuel.
So to ansers of the IDE-performace only he can help you. But as you see, you see no comment from him.
But he says in some older post, that he is working on an new GUI-designer.

On
[ http://www.jabaco.org/board/657-new-version.html ]
Manuel says:
"Without guarantee: the next minor update is december 2011 "

But nevertheless you can use the Jabaco-framework in an Java-environment. With Java-Decompilers you can port the Framework from the Jabaco-language to the Java-language and so you can improve it on non-Windows systems.
You can use the JabacoFramework-components in other GUI-designers like in BeanBuilder as I sayd at
[ BeanBuilder modification ]

Thank you sooo much for the reply theuserbl. :thumbup:



Your suggestion about BeanBuilder is interesting - i might try that. Have you tried the jabaco framework with BeanBuilder and whats the experience if you care to share it?



I guess i have come to the same conclusion - this project is dead ;( unless a significantly improved IDE is released or the Jabaco IDE is made open source or public domain



Its a shame because there was some promise in it.



I know a number larger companies that was looking for a "direct" migration from VB6 for a large amount of their older custom tools and that would have seen Java platform and crossplatform ability as A+



This is never going to be the choice for a new development on either android or other devices but it could be used for application development with focus on upgrading existing VB6 apps. :!:



Thanks again and best of luck
