3.4 PMR 03591:Annotation Builder Performance Issue
The annotation builder will automatically rebuild all your data binding classes if you make changes to the annotation tag.
In some cases, when the data binding classes contain many get/set methods, a rebuild can take a very long time. CPU usage reaches 100 percent and the tool or system might appear to be locked up. However, it is not locked up and it will be available after the rebuild is completed. This rebuild process can take 20 minutes, depending on how many methods are in your data binding classes.
Workaround:
Try one of the following methods:
If you use the command line tool J2CMigration.bat or J2CMigration.sh to migrate your WSDL files to J2C Java Beans or Data Binding, then you might find that some of the method body is empty even though the doclets tags are generated in the methods.
The writer has returned to the command line tool before the annotation builder has completed the code generation of the method body based on the doclets tags.
Workaround:
Open the migrated workspace in the workbench. Then, the annotation builder will rebuild and all of the method bodies will be generated and compiled.
