I recently changed my working sets for the "open resource" screen because I was sick of seeing multiple versions of the same file due to my maven configuration (a class in a child pom would show up under child and parent projects). I used the advice from a stack overflow question:
Eclipse Maven showing multiple paths for the same file
This does work. However, it also causes a noticeable lag when I try to use open resources. Any resource that is currently open will be available to search immediately, but if a resource is not yet open I will have to wait a decent length of time for the resource to be populated. The lag is worse then just dealing with duplicate files.
Is there a reason for this noticeable lag? I am running on a computer with limited resources, it's particularly IO bound, but the regular open resources without a specific working set is effectively instantaneous. Is there some caching going on, and if so can I make eclipse cache the working-set's resources?
