    When we start MyEclipse with the Clean option the startime period is very long , sometimes 15 minutes meanwhile the used of CPU , I/O , RAM are low.
    Looks like it was in “standby” mode.
    Usually,what is the “right” time for starting in Clean Mode?
    Is possible to log the activity during the activation process of this Clean mode?

    Tanks! Best regards

    Daniele,

    ‘-clean’ option tells MyEclipse to erase and rebuild its plugin cache to avoid conflicts with incorrect plugin information. Any cached data used by the OSGi framework and eclipse runtime will be wiped clean. This will clean the caches used to store bundle dependency resolution and eclipse extension registry data. Using this option will force eclipse to reinitialize these caches. After you have used -clean once, you are free to remove it from your command line arguments. Indeed, it’s recommended to remove it, since startup takes noticeably longer with -clean.

    > Please clear the .log file located at <Workspace dir>/.metadata/.log file, restart MyEclipse with -clean argument and attach the log file here to help us investigate further.

    – We usually use the option -clean only when we think that is better to reinitialize the cache.

    Daniele,

    Thanks for the details provided.

    MyEclipse has no influence on how clean runs. The activity of clean cannot be logged as clean runs until the select workspace dialog appears.

    The speed of clean process depends on the speed of the machine, number of plugins installed (as clean reinitializes the plugin cache), available Xmx memory and size.

    As mentioned in my previous response, after you have used -clean once, it’s recommended to remove it, since startup takes noticeably longer with -clean, as many third party plugins are installed.
