Hi There,

I am using MyEclipse version 8.6 and finding that Myeclipse.exe memory usage (by looking at windows taskmanager) goes to around 800,000 in couple of hours. This makes system slow.
In workspace I have
1 EAR Project , 1 WEB Project & 4 Java project. Server configuration for weblogic.

Question –
1.Why it is consuming so much memory for such light weight workspace
2. Is there any way I can reduce the memory footprint of myeclipse.exe
3. What is typical memory footprint for myeclipse.exe process.

I have put the configuration details below.

Thanks for your help.

abkumar,

Could you please answer the following questions:

1) What is the memory usage like 5 minutes after starting MyEclipse?
2) What do you do with MyEclipse – which editors do you use, do you frequently deploy applications? If so – to what server?
3) Have you noticed sluggish behavior after specific actions?
4) It is possible to remove components you don’t need from your MyEclipse installation to reduce the footprint – please see section 6 here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/documentation/quickstarts/install_update_sites/#dashboard

Hi Brian,

Please see the answers below.
1) What is the memory usage like 5 minutes after starting MyEclipse?
Ans -So I timed memory usage right now. It started with approx. 275K. After 5 min 300K. In between I started weblogic server using my eclipse and have around 10 java files in editor.
2) What do you do with MyEclipse – which editors do you use, do you frequently deploy applications? If so – to what server?
Ans- I generally use java editor and have one application EAR deployed to weblogic server. I don’t need to deploy application frequently as I use server is debug mode. I mostly switch between ‘Debug View’ and ‘My Eclipse Java Enterprise’.
3) Have you noticed sluggish behavior after specific actions?
Ans- I observed that when you open first Jsp, memory jumps from 300K to 330K. I using the default editor for Jsp which is ‘My Eclipse Visual JSP designer’.
