If you use global-eclim-mode, eclim-mode will be used for every buffer. Try this:

(add-to-list 'load-path (concat dotfiles-dir "plugins/emacs-eclim"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat dotfiles-dir "plugins/emacs-eclim/vendor"))

(require 'eclim)
(require 'eclimd)

(setq eclim-auto-save t)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook '(lambda () (eclim-mode t)))
(setq eclim-print-debug-messages t)

That being said, I haven't seen a lag with eclim sending ping commands on my system (although it's Linux).

hmmm... that didn't help. It still is pinging for every buffer. :(

I though that the (add-hook 'java-mode-hok '(lambda () (eclim-mode t))) would limit it to only java buffers?

Could I have set something up wrong?

(add-to-list 'load-path (concat dotfiles-dir "plugins/emacs-eclim"))
(add-to-list 'load-path (concat dotfiles-dir "plugins/emacs-eclim/vendor"))

(require 'eclim)
(require 'eclimd)

(setq eclim-auto-save t)
;;(global-eclim-mode)
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook '(lambda () (eclim-mode t)))
(setq eclim-print-debug-messages t)

It isn't a long lag, a second or two -- it is a little bit annoying though. I wish I could turn it on/off whenever I actually wanted to use it.

I see in the logs that emacs-eclim apparently performs three separate 'ping' calls and one 'project_list' call every time I open a new java file. For me, it happens almost instantaneously anyway, so it's not that big of a problem. But it's kind of an ugly solution.

As far as I can see, it's the eclim--running-p function that's the culprit. Several other functions call it to determine if there is an eclim running or not. Maybe we could cache that value?

Or perhaps we should rethink why that function is necessary. Maybe it would be better just to assume that eclim is present, and provide a good error message if calls are failing.

This should be fixed now.
