Brian,
Any update on this issue, Its becoming very difficult for my development.It would be great if a solution is provided.
THanks,
RamanaRamana,
One thing I’m wondering is whether or not your preferences are really being used. Can you go to Preferences > General and enable “Show Heap Status”. It will give an indicator of used heap at the bottom right of the window. When you start having issues, what are the values displayed here? Is the heap really 1024M at this point, or much small? Does reducing the -Xmx value to -Xmx512 change the behavior? I ask because I’ve seen times when Java can’t get the memory you ask for so it quietly just goes back to its rather small defaults instead.
Hi Scott,
I enabled the heap status, it gets utilized pretty fast. Its 764M. When ever it is getting filled i explicity do the garbage collection after an hour every thing gets to a stall.Let me know what is the best setting to be used.
What is observed is when ever I try to save heap gets increased a lot.
Thanks,
RamanaRamana,
OK, it sounds like your heap settings are getting picked up since 764M is much more than the defaults you would get if they weren’t. You mentioned that the heap usage tends to go up when you “Save”; exactly what are you saving at that time?
Also, have you updated your installation to MyEclipse 8.5 yet? There were several Mac-specific features that went into both our code as well as Eclipse 3.5.2 so you may get an improved behavior there (as well as a ton of new features and fixes).
