Currently, I am an EE developer learning the ropes with the Spring platform. Lately, I have been experimenting with using Restful services as controllers in my web project, alongside AngularJS on the frontend. System Environment: Windows 8.1, Intel i5, 8GB RAM For my Maven project, I utilize STS 3.6.2. While I can work on Java files without any issues, any small action such as editing, adding a space, scrolling up or down causes IDE to consume excessive memory and CPU resources. This makes it nearly impossible to continue working after a few minutes, even when the server or grunt watch is not functioning. I have tried various solutions found on the internet, including this resource. There is ample free storage (32 GB) on the disk where the sts_bundle folder resides.
Despite turning off validation, auto build, etc., there has been no improvement. Moreover, some JavaScript files (especially in the placeholders folder) under the vendor directory are showing build errors at times, for reasons unknown since they are vendor JS libraries untouched until a Maven update.
Attached is a screenshot. Also provided is today's log file located under .metadata/.log:

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, regards
