    Greetings,

    I am using MyEclipse5.0GA, JDK 1.5.0_06, & Eclipse 3.2.

    My machine is a 1.5 GHz G4 PowerBook (PowerPC)
    (with 1 GB DDR SDRAM), running OS X Tiger (10.4.7).

    Am loving the features of the Pro version of MyEclipse. 🙂

    Several questions:

    1. After installation, the installer launched release notes, which contained
    specific information (jvm args) for optimized performance. Where can I find
    this same document, again?

    2. How do I change the MyEclipse splash back to the original one that came
    with Eclipse 3.2?

    3. I looked inside the eclipse.ini file which contained the following contents:

    
    -vmargs
    -Dosgi.splashLocation=/Developer/JavaTools/MyEclipse5_0_1_GA/MyEclipse 5.0GA/eclipse/MyEclipseSplash.bmp
    
    -Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
    -XstartOnFirstThread
    -Xbootclasspath/p:../../../plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.debug_3.2.0.v20060605/jdi.jar
    -Xms128m
    -Xmx512m
    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
    -Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.noFocusRing
    

    I am assuming that everything is done here…

    Any tips, suggestions, and advice would be very appreciated!

    With thanks,

    1. After installation, the installer launched release notes, which contained
    specific information (jvm args) for optimized performance. Where can I find
    this same document, again?

    The release notes are in the Help system at Help > Help contents > MyEclipse Learning Center > Release and Technical Notes > MyEclipse 5.0.0 GA Release Notes.
    The arguments we recommend launching with are:

    
    eclipse -product com.genuitec.myeclipse.product.ide -vmargs -Duser.language=en -Xms128M -Xmx512M -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M  -Dosgi.splashLocation="C:\dev\test-installs\ME501GA\ME\eclipse\MyEclipseSplash.bmp
    

    2. How do I change the MyEclipse splash back to the original one that came
    with Eclipse 3.2?

    You can remove the -Dosgi.splashLocation argument to revert to the old Eclipse splash

    Thanks for the response!

    Doesn’t the eclipse.ini file already have these args (which increase the heap size)?

    Where would I place your suggestion, to run it upon launch?
