Let me tell yo what happened.
I tried to work with MyEclipse in x86_64, 1 GB RAM, Gentoo machine with 1.4 JDK Blackdown Java. Eclipse perfectly works standalone.
I tried both with Eclipse 3.1M7 and 3.1.0 for x86_64

1. Memory problem;
I monitored forums and found to adjust memory with -Xms -XmX
and gave this -Xms256m -XmX512m, man i gave the half of the ram to this app. But nothing changed. I have continous crashes with sudden exists. Just click to the project tree and IDE gone, just try to open Struts editor IDE gone.
2. Your funny loop trouble;
I tried to add a form, action and jsp from Struts editor. I put the values in on the coming form and pressed finish. Voila, files are created but no lines could be inserted to the struts-config.xml b/c IDE gone at that moment.
When i try to come back with -clean, i saw that dummy MyEclipse trying to verify XML files. And yes, since files exist but no lines in cfg it sucks.
I removed .metadata to somewhere open IDE and import existing project again.

Even trying this polished app too.
Take care all,
My precious log file is ready to sent upon request…

Kunthar,
Few things:

1) Blackdown JDK is not an officially supported port of the JDK for the Eclipse platform, please refer to this: http://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/development/eclipse_project_plan_3_1.html#TargetOperatingEnvironments

Yes you said Eclipse “perfectly works” which is good news, but we develop, test and deploy our product only on the officially supported platforms and JDKs. Please emerge the Sun 1.5.0_04 JDK for Linux for the most stable experience with MyEclipse.

2) I run a x86_64 box and MyEclipse runs fine using the Sun JDK, so I think all of the issues you had above simply stemmed from Blackdown’s JDK (while I’m sure it’s a good port, every JDK has it’s own quirks , and the littlest change can have big reprocussions as you know in software).

3) The paramters are actually -Xms and -Xmx, not -XmX, they are case sensative so that lowercase X is important.

4) Since you are on Gentoo, on a 64bit proc and using the Blackdown JDK, I’m guessing there is a chance you might be trying to use a custom 64-bit compiled version of Eclipse as well, if you are, please don’t. We had a few other users try this in our early 4.0 release cycle and were only met with frequent crashes of Eclipse as the platform just isn’t stable yet when built in that fashion nor is MyEclipse tested with that setup.

Kindly tell me which x86_64 distro you use b/c i am in trouble with Gentoo. As far as tried possible distros like
Fedora Core3, and Debian sid both of them has gave me a headache. I found most suitable distro to use on x86_64 was Gentoo nearly 4-5 months ago.
Also Sun 1.5.0_04 JDK is masked on x86_64. I can unmask it but do not wanna fight with.
x86_64 will be settled down in following 6 months but i think i gonna be a bold guy till see this miracle.

Yes bro, i know they are so sensitive 🙂

Since you are on Gentoo, on a 64bit proc and using the Blackdown JDK,

Yes, i am mad but not that much to compile OO, Firefox and also eclipse too 😉

Thank you for your prompt answers,
Take care,
Kunthar
