Recently, I changed my working sets for the open resource screen because it hurt me to see several versions of the same file because of my maven configuration (the class in the child pom appeared under the child and parent projects). I used the advice from the question:
Eclipse Maven shows multiple paths for the same file
It works. However, this also causes a noticeable lag when I try to use open resources. Any resource that is currently open will be available for immediate search, but if the resource is not already open, I will have to wait a long time for the resource to be filled. This lag is worse than just duplicating files.
Is there a reason for this noticeable lag? I work on a computer with limited resources, especially IO, but regular open resources without a specific working set are effective instantly. Is there any kind of caching going on, and if I can make the eclipse cache workspace resources?
