Myeclipse works fine in my test on some small struts-config.xml,
but when I open a big struts-config.xml from a previous project,
(it is big, more than 300KB), myeclipse takes 99% of the CPU and loses response. I have to terminate the process.

We have checked this version of ME 3.8.4 to work with large files, files ranging about 500KB with about 1000 actions and forwards.
A file like this takes about 4 seconds to open on my 2Ghz Pentium M with 512MB RAM.

Please note that layout is calculated the first time your file is opened, and it might take slightly longer; thereafter the data is persisted and subsequent opens will be faster.

Please make sure Eclipse has enough RAM – this is important (add “-vmargs -Xmx256m” to the command line when starting eclipse) I noticed a significant difference in time if I started eclipse without this flag.

If you are still unhappy, you can disable the design page altogether and use just the source editor – to do this, Edit your Project Properties (right click Project and edit the MyEclipse-Struts properties page to disable the designer). I would say this is rather extreme and it should not come to this.

Please let us know how it turns out,
Brian.

Hi, I tried 3.8.4 and it worked fine. But there is another problem:
When I export the design to jpeg file, (right click in Design Form and choose Export as Jpeg, an error
happend and says ‘Error exporting image. Reason: No more handles [GetLastError = 0x57]. Still, this error does not happen on small struts-config.xml files.

My computer is Celeon 2G, 512MDDR, MS Windows 2000sp4.

Glad to hear it’s working now.

Sorry, this is a known issue which we haven’t had the bandwidth to address in this release. The problem you see is becuase Windows cannot export images > 16MB (Bitmap memory). Though this is supposed to be an issue only in Win9x – I have noticed similar limitations on WinXP / 2000.

If you really need the export – you might try using Linux, where it does work.
We plan to have a more comprehensive set of export options soon (yes, cross platform), sorry for the inconvenience.

Best,
Brian.

I have 3.8.4 and i get the same error when i try to export a struts-config as jpeg.

i have set memory to -vmargs -Xms600m -Xmx600m and have nothing else open (and 2 gb on box)

and i get this same error.

i have exported other files before with this release, but this one is larger.

Jason,

The windows limitation on Bitmap size is irrespective of how much memory you give your JVM with the -Xm? switches AND the physical memory on your system.

It’s 16MB. That’s it. I know it sucks, and we’re trying to address this one this time around.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Brian.
