Hi folks,
I think this is my first post here.
Anyways I’ve recently upgraded from MyEclipse 6/Eclipse 3.3 to the full MyEclipse 7 installer than incorporates Eclipse 3.4.
Version: 7.0
Build id: 7.0-20081201Compared to 6 it seems to be very slow and unresponsive and is using a huge amount of memory in the Windows Task Manager…currently at 482,944K! Version 6 never did this. I have 9 web projects checked out from a CVS repository.
There is a noticable lag when doing anything from dragging a selection of text to editing web.xml files. I’ve removed most of the services from the startup as I don’t require them, I’ve changed default editors to the non-visual ones as I don’t use them yet it’s still eating memory,
Is this normal? Or is there something I missed in the setup?
Thanks in advance!
Paul.
Paul,
Few things to check, if you open the project properties for the projects that are slow and go to the MyEclipse node, which icons are lit up? Also if you expand the MyEclipse node, do you have a JavaScript node under it?
Hi Riyad,
Only the ‘Web’ icon is highlighted. I do have a JavaScript node under it.
The projects are all web projects checked out of CVS and deployed to Tomcat 5.5 (have removed most of the startup plugins in General.
Another noticable slowdown is doing multiple file selections in the Package Explorer. I select the first item and shift select the last. I can watch it select the first file, then deselect that and select the last file, then it selects the range of files.
With Tomcat running and 7 apps deployed my heap is at 349M of 508M (I upped the heap size as one of our sites requires it).
Cheers,
Paul.
Paul, thank you for the additional info — it’ll help us dig in and figure out what the heck JSDT is doing in there…
No probs and thanks for the help 🙂 When just loaded without the server starting and me doing nothing it’s using 352MB in Task Manager.
Paul,
If you remove the javascript nature from your project (by editing the .project file) And any Javascript builders, that may help quite a bit (and that includes ignoring JavaScript prompts to re-add the functionality)… that could be a quick fix for now.
Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying!
Is it this line:
<nature>org.eclipse.wst.jsdt.core.jsNature</nature>Should I also remove the javascriptValidator from the <buildSpec> ?
Cheers!
Paul.
I’ve experienced the same problem with ME 7.0. I’ve tried several different installation paths; all-in-one, pulse, Eclipse update. They all use a lot more memory than earlier versions. I usually have to restart Eclipse with a few hours interval to reclaim memory.
I’m running the Win32 version on XP Pro 32bit SP3.
I’m usually having 5-10 projects open at the same time; one or two web-enabled, several java- and some resource-only projects.
I always modify my eclipse.ini settings when I install MyEclipse/Eclipse. Currently my memory-settings in eclipse.ini are:
-Xms512m
-Xmx900m
-XX:ReservedCodeCacheSize=48mI’ll remove the JavaScript nature etc. in my projects as instructed above, and see if things improve.

I’ll remove the JavaScript nature etc. in my projects as instructed above, and see if things improve.
Let me know if the problem persists.
I’ve removed the Javascript stuff as recommended, memory seems to be better but it’s still so much slower than 6 ever was.
An example is selecting multiple files, I selected the first one and shift-select further down the list….I can watch it select the first, selected the last/deleselect then select them all. 6 never did this. Clicking around files i the Package Explorer is slow as well.
