I downloaded 3.8GA today very excited about the new features in the release. Unfortunately Eclipse is crashing on me ~ every 5 minutes.

Here is a copy of the afternoon’s error log.

Sorry for posting all of that. I am using WinXP and eclipse 3.0 with 3.8 GA. The problem seems most prevalent when I am using the tomcat project deployer.

Any help here would be appreciated

[Riyad Kalla]

Have you tried giving Eclipse more memory? Try adding:
-vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m

to the command line or shortcut used to launch Eclipse. Eclipse 3.0 requires about 2x as much memory as Eclipse 2.1 and too boot ME is a collection of over 100 plugins installed ontop of that… that entire recipe == lots of memory. I think more people are noticing it with ME 3.8 GA because the new editors provide a lot more functionality but also require more resources to run.

[mrasmussen]

Thanks for the idea. I unfortunately already uninstalled 3.8 until I had more time to play with it. Pretty busy and I don’t have time to debug new releases. Thats why I buy this subscription.But I will look at it later.

[goetterwind]

had something similiar like Michael
with 3.8 Beta2, (and i gave eclipse about 300-350MB)
until now it didn’t reappear after GA upgrade 🙂

[Riyad Kalla]

Hey guys we also read in the JDT newsgroup that the indexer that is part of Eclipse (that the Java and JSP editor make use of for indexing the source files) can leak memory like a bandit. One user got an OOM with -Xmx768m and running the indexer on a project of 200 JSPs… just a heads up incase you run into some more OOM exceptions while the indexer is running.

[mrasmussen]

That makes so much sense as I get seemingly unused memory building up in page files to the tune of 700-800M. Is there a patch on the way from Eclipse? Interesting though is that I don’t get this error while using 3.8b2. I only get the error while deploying a project to tomcat using the deployer.

[Riyad Kalla]

I think the reason you don’t get this with Beta2 is that our old Editor didn’t use the indexer but the new WTP editors do. This bug report originated from the WTP forums and they traced it back to the JDT’s indexer…

I know that we are aware of it and that we hope to fix it soon, I just don’t know the details of what we are going to do just yet.

[mrasmussen]

Can you tell me where I can monitor this discussion so I know when the bug is fixed?

[Riyad Kalla]

Off hand I don’t know it, that information came from one of the devs. Although searching might lead somewhere:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/query.cgi

If the dev gets back to me I’ll post more info for you.

How about you setup these parameters in myeclipse shortcut automaticaly when installing the program?

[Jon Nermut]

While you guys are looking at memory and performance, you might want to look at the keep resident plugin:
http://suif.stanford.edu/pub/keepresident/
It does some hacky windows API calls to keep windows swapping out eclipse to disk all the time. If you are profiling performance I would be very interested to find out what if any difference this plugin makes. My developers report very positive improvements in performance times and stopping eclipse hanging when doing a gc, but it is a bit subjective without real metrics.

Cheers,

Jon

[Scott Anderson]

Jon,

Thanks for the pointers. We’re activley looking at the resource utilization issues now and expect to have a fix in 3.8.2. Just so you have some scope on the difficulty of the issue, JSP validation is now performed by Jasper 2 (which uses Ant) and this is a big change from Beta 2. Unfortunately, while we now have JSP 2.0 level validation, we don’t have the performance we once had, yet. We now need to determine where the resource utilization issues are, whether in Eclipse, our code, IBM’s, Jasper, or Ant, and get them fixed. The only way to do that reliably is with detailed profiling, which we’re beginning now. By the way, if any of you have successfully used specific tools for profiling a runtime workbench and find them useful, please pass them along, as Jon did. All help appreciated.

[Riyad Kalla]

How about you setup these parameters in myeclipse shortcut automaticaly when installing the program?

I don’t know that we can detect the amount of ram a user has from the InstallShield installer… but that’s not a bad idea at all. Thanks for the suggestion!

[arjan.tijms]

Just wondering, what is the default maximum memory setting for Eclipse? I looked around for this information, but could not find it.

[Riyad Kalla]

Its actually the default heap for the VM you are using to Run and I believe its 64mb for Sun’s.
