Hi
Some how myeclipseide takes more then 10 minutes to start every morning, i have 2GB Ram P4 machine with 80 GB hard drive, and Win XP professional with j2sdk1.4.2_06,
i wonder what happens with a 512 ram machine, is there any setup to improve performance

Ashish,

That is quite a awhile! I’d check to see if a virus checker is intervening. The only performance setting I can suggest is to change the heap settings like this: eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms256M -Xmx512M.

I installed Myeclipse on one of my computers. An old IBM Mpro with 1ghz cpu, 256ram, and a page file around 400mb. And I thought 7 minutes to launch MyEclipse was unacceptable.

So I purchased another (matched) 1ghz processor and Im now running dual core processors,..now totalling 2ghz . Launch time is down to 1-2minutes. Although Im now getting a respectable and liveable response time, Im still planning to add more ram; Monitor performance and tinker with performance knobs.

Just thought I’d share…

oh a quick write up on how to view/change heap settings is appreciated

rgds,

I’d guess the issue would seem to be the low amount of physical RAM on the system. What we typically suggest for commandline arguments for MyEclipse are:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M
