Q: Eclipse editor keeps hanging when editing Xtend files ( 'updating editor state (sleeping)' ) Recently, my Eclipse editor started becoming really sluggish when editing Xtend files. I am using Xtend in the context of the Xtext framework (which provides certain interfaces using Xtend). I thought it had something to do with my Eclipse installation, so I deleted it entirely off my MacBook and re-installed the newest version (Eclipse 2019-09). However, it was still really sluggish when editing Xtend files. It does this every few seconds (loading figure appears, it hangs for a few seconds after which it repeats this sequence). I notice that the Progress tab in my Eclipse editor shows the message 'updating editor state (sleeping)' after it stops hanging. It only happens with Xtend files (other files like java work just fine in Eclipse without hanging). The Xtend file I am working in is currently about 500 Lines of Codes. Not a small file, but could this be the reason my Eclipse IDE keeps hanging? Things I already tried to fix this hanging problem:


*

*Fully delete and re-install Eclipse on my MacBook (only installing the necessary plug-ins that I need: The Palladio PCM framework, and the Xtext Framework).

*Provide extra memory (up to 6000 MB) for the Eclipse environment and its VMs (using the memory parameters (XmX e.g.) in the eclipse.ini file).

*Suspend all validators in the Eclipse environment (disabling the option to override this).


The weird thing is that it keeps telling 'updating editor state (sleeping)' after it stops hanging. This message appears for about 0.1 to 2 seconds. I think that disabling the 'editor state update' might resolve this problem, but I don't know where I can suspend this option. Does anyone have a clue on why my Eclipse IDE keeps hanging every few seconds when editing Xtend files?
