NetBeans Code Completion is extremely slow for Java

Question

Im using NetBeans 7.0.1 on a Mac, Code completion for Java programming is extremely slow. for example when I want to call a variable by start to typing its name it takes about 1 to 2 second for cc to pop up which is quite annoying in times of programming. Is it a fixable issue?

_____________________ Update _____________________

I was trying settings in eclipse, under : eclipse -> Preferences -> Java/Editor/Content Assist there is an Option which you can define timing for cc popup, by default it is 200ms. But for netBeans... !!!

Answer 1

Netbeans is a great IDE with many good features. I used to play with it, but moved to Eclipse because how slow it is.

Nowadays I use Intellij IDEA, which is faster and more stable than both Eclipse and Netbeans and has the best Maven integration IMHO.

Thanks.
