             Summary: Forge console is sluggish on Windows
                 Key: JBIDE-18330
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18330
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: forge
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta3
         Environment: Windows 7 64-bit, Oracle 8 JDK
            Reporter: Vineet Reynolds
            Assignee: Vineet Reynolds


The Forge console appears to be sluggish in Windows. It appears to be so slow that characters appear one at a time.

Scripts also execute much slower on Windows as compared to Linux or Mac, and often require setting the {{--timeout}} parameter for longer scripts.

The root cause appears to be the Forge plugin itself, that writes characters to the console one at a time, and often delegated to a separate thread that updates the JFace document. This could be optimized to ensure that:

* updates to the document are done in 'block mode' instead of 'character mode'.
* context-switching between the execution thread and the UI thread is also minimized.
