I had the same eclipse/p.c. experience although I find that the
benefits of the Mac as a development environment won-over any
performance issues, Eclipse was never very happy.
I've just switched to NetBeans which I find extremely sprightly on OS-
X and although there are a couple of things I prefer about Eclipse,
I've grown to love (and abuse) Ant to such an extent that I can
forgive it a few nicer re-factoring features.
I know IDE's are a very personal thing, but do try the latest beta of
Netbeans, the GUI builder alone has resulted in major face-lifts for
a number of my apps.

This is very sad message. I can't believe I find myself saying it, but
I can no longer ignore the speed differences between Eclipse (with
JBossIDE) on the Mac vs. the PC. I have an awesome Mac at work,
dual G5
was top of the line 5 months ago or so. 4GB RAM. However, when it
comes
to Eclipse and debugging JBoss (with JBoss IDE) which is what I use
it for 95% of the
day, it's really slow. I have 2.8 GHz 32-bit P4 at home with a lot
less
RAM, a significantly older machine, and it runs Eclipse and the
debugger MUCH faster than the Mac. I thought the switch to Java 1.5
would solve some of these problems (not as the JVM to RUN eclipse
but to
debug apps in it), but it didn't. I don't know what to do, and I'm
very
close to giving up and switching back to the PC for Java development.
There is still the outstanding issue of Eclipse getting slower and
slower
as it stays open longer and longer on the Mac and the audio
choppiness
that accompanies it.
Firstly, is this even a Java problem? Is it just an Eclipse or
JBoss IDE problem?
Has anyone else experienced this, come up with any remedies for this?
Some of you may suggest an alternate IDE such as IDEA but whole
company
has a policy of using Eclipse.
Seriously please let me know if anyone else has noticed this disparity
(i.e. worked with both platforms simulatenously or frequently
enough to
really compare them), because often I feel like the only one. It
really pains me to
be complaining about the mac too, because for EVERYTHING else, I
enjoy them SO much more.
Thanks,
Bradley
