Hi All,

I’ve just purchased, downloaded and installed the MyEclipse Professional Edition v. 4.1 on my Linux box, but the more I work with it (actually “try to work” phrase would match better here), the more frustrated I get.

There’re two issues that can be noticed immediately.

The UML perspective cannot be used longer than “5 minutes”, because it causes the the whole workbench to hang. I tried to figure out if there are any specific conditions under which the fault could be reproduced. The answer is yes – it happens when I use the Properties View. I managed to draw quite large diagrams if the props view for UML was not used (but honestly – you can’t do any sensible work without it!).

The second annoying problem is, that after a few interactions with the plugin (not necessarrily with the UML part of it) I get the following http://hicnar.csoft.net/myEclipseProblem.png like dialog windows on the workbench exit. It doesn’t happen with the previous releases.

I use Fedora Core 1 with the kernel 2.6.7.

Best regards
Krzysiek

Krzysiek,

Did you have the UML problem always or did that only start with 4.1 too?

It looks like you’re probably running out of memory. Try increasing the maximum memory to something like 512 if you have that much.
This is our recommended eclipse command line string: -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

Let us know how it turns out.
Best,
Brian.

Brian,

Answering your first question. I didn’t work with the MyEclipse UML perspective in the previous releases.

The command line looked exactly as you typed, i increased the “XX” params to -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=512M, but think this is not relevant since I monitored the memory usage while playing with MyEclipse and the problem happend when little less than 300MB was used in the whole system (I have a total of 1GB on my box). And again the problem seems to appear only if I use the properties view while working with the UML perspective.

See another “post mort” dialog the workbench produced http://hicnar.csoft.net/myEclipseProblem2.png

Krzysiek

PS. At work, I’ve got another instance of MyEclipse 4.1 (for Windows), on Mon. I will try to play with it to find out if the problems are Linux specific only.

Krzysiek,

It looks like you might be specifying memory settings both on the command line and in an eclipse.ini file; though this is apparrently not the problem, it might be worth cleaning that up and specifying the settings in only one of these locations.

Do let us know if the problems persist on windows, in the meanwhile I’ll check with our UML team.

Best,
Brian.

Krzysiek,
We are unable to replicate this problem in our testing environment. I have a few Q’s
Which Eclipse version are you using?
Are you using any locale specific fonts/characters?
I assumed in the negative but still want to ask if you have experienced this problem when you were not using MyUML?
Also could you please post all the information we request [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]here[/URL]

Thanks
