MyEclipse is very slow while starting. It takes around 3- 5 minutes to start. While publishing on the websphere application server integrated with myEclipse, lot of times it hangs. I have to kill both app server and my eclipse.

I tried to increase the memory -Xmx768m to -Xmx1024m in the myclipse.ini. However, the change always crashed myeclipse and i get “My Eclipse – Failed to create the java virtual machine” error.

My system runs on windows 7 and have 8 GB of memory.

Please advise.

myeclipse.ini looks as follows :

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.3.0.v20140415-2008.jar
–launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.i18n.win32.win32.x86_3.2.0.v201103301700
-vm
binary/com.sun.java.jdk7.win32.x86_1.7.0.u45/jre/bin/client/jvm.dll
-install
C:\MyEclipse 2015
-vmargs
-Xmx768m
-XX:MaxPermSize=320m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=64m
-Dosgi.nls.warnings=ignore

Manish,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue with MyEclipse.

Can you please answer some more questions ?

1. Are you working with a large workspace ? Do you see the issue with a fresh workspace ?

2. Did you install any third party plugins? Please share the MyEclipse Installation Details from MyEclipse > Installation Summary > Installation Details.

3. Here is an FAQ for the performance issues in MyEclipse 2015. Please check if it helps.

4. Can you please try starting MyEclipse with the -clean argument to see if that helps?

5. If the issue persists, can you please try increasing the -Xmx value from 768m in small incremental values i.e increase by 50 each time and see how it works?

6. If the above steps do not help, please send us the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log to help us investigate further.

Let us know how it works for you.

3. Here is an FAQ for the performance issues in MyEclipse 2015. Please check if it helps. – No answer here.

4. Can you please try starting MyEclipse with the -clean argument to see if that helps? – It does not help.

5. If the issue persists, can you please try increasing the -Xmx value from 768m in small incremental values i.e increase by 50 each time and see how it works? Any increment crash the VM. – It worked till 938m. when it was increated to 988m. it creashed.

6. If the above steps do not help, please send us the .log file which is located at <workspace dir>/.metadata/.log to help us investigate further.

Manish,

Thank you for the files.

1. While we investigate further, do you see the issue with a new workspace ? Please switch to a new workspace and check if the issue persists. If yes, then please send us the .log file again.

2. Do you see any long running jobs on the MyEclipse IDE ?

3. Is MyEclipse still slow at -Xmx = 938m ? Did you see any improvement from -Xmx 768m to 938m ?

There is not enough virtual memory space requested by an application thus the application fails to start. This usually happens during the application startup phase. Applications reserve a large amount of virtual memory for the JVM heap space during the startup phase. Java on Windows uses an initial size of 16 Megabyte and a maximum of 64 Megabyte.

Most of the time you can fix this problem by uninstalling the Java runtime and then reinstalling it all over again. You can also try increasing the amount of system memory allocated to the Java virtual machine by setting an environment variable.

Open the Control Panel
Go to System
Go to Advanced Systems Properties
Then Environment Variables
In System Variables, click Add
New Variable Name: _JAVA_OPTIONS
New Variable Value: -Xmx512M
Click OK
