MY CONFIG:
Windows XP SP2, 16Gig free disk. 1gig ram, HP ze4145 laptop.
Currently enjoying MyEclipse Version: 3.1.2
Build id: M20060118-1600
using J2SDK5.0 only with appropriate CLASSPATH and PATH
eclipse3.1 is set for J2EE1.4, working fine.

I now NEED to use JEE5,
I have installed Sun APplication Server PE 9, runs fine.

PROBLEM:
I downloaded MyEclipseEnterpriseWorkbenchInstaller_5.0.1GA_E3.2.exe .

When I doubleclick it in Explore,
it just pops up with InstallAnywhere: ! “Please select anopther location to extract the installer to:”
I select my new empty \eclipse5 (for example), via the Choose… button.
click OK.
and all it does is continue to display the same InstallAnywhere popup.
I tried other dirs, no effect.

How should I install MyEclipse 5 ?

John,
This is a silly problem of the installer when it is corrupt, it will just keep re-asking for the same extract location over and over again. Make sure the size of your download matches the one on the site. Also if that doesn’t work, you can grab the manual install which is an easy 2-step process with the instructions included in the ZIP file.

Lastly I’d point out that MyEclipse 5.0 is only compatible with Eclipse 3.2, so you will need to create a new clean install of Eclipse 3.2 to a new directory in addition to MyEclipse 5.0.

We are going to rectify this shortly with an “all in one” installer that will make installing very easy.

The company only gives 504 RAM PC. Is it enough for MyEclipse 5.1?

Currently I am running Eclipse 3.2.0, and initial parameter setting ‘-Xmx512M’. When I compile the application, it always have “out of memory… ” error. If I download 5.1, will it improve the memory using? or it will eat more memory?

Please give me some suggestion.

Thanks,
Judy

Judy,
You do not want to set the heap size the same as your system memory, you will incure a huge performance overhead because you will be causing a ton of swapping after maxing out the “real” system memory and rolling over into virtual memory.

If you use the MyEclipse 5.1 all-in-one installer, it will create the most optimized install of MyEclipse along with the preferred default memory settings of the ones outlined here:

If you start having a lot of disk access and swaping, you can edit the eclipse.ini file shipped in the MyEclipse\eclipse install dir to change the -Xmx512m parameter to -Xmx256m or -Xmx384m
