             Summary: Disable outline view
                 Key: JBIDE-15168
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15168
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: freemarker
            Reporter: Daniel Dekany


In the "FreeMarker IDE" Eclipse plugin, you should disable the outline view, as it's too broken to be useful, while it often slows template editing to crawl and is constantly flashing/redrawing as you type into the template, or even sometimes if you just move the cursor.

Regarding why it's broken:

* You show all the statements in it, which is way too much details and so it quickly becomes useless for overview and navigation. (Imagine if the Java outline did that, showing all if-s and for-s and assignments.) If should just list the macro and function declarations.

* It treats FreeMarker tags that doesn't end with `/>` as element openings, and then puts everything after that inside that element. But FreeMarker tags that start with `#` and can't have a body are implicitly closed. They are like `img` in HTML; `<img ...>` is the same as `<img .../>`. Similarly, `<#assign x = 1>` is the same as `<#assign x = 1 />`.

* It redraws the whole tree way to often. It slows things down, and the flashing it causes is annoying.
