This thread has been marked closed, is it actually fixed now or did it just get stale?

As a temporary fix in 3.8.1 we disabled the indexer so it shouldn't be consuming memory like it was. However we are still working on fixing it and seeing if we can get it into a later release, but I'm not sure when.

Just to clarify...if I download 3.8.1 I will not have this problem? I don't really have time to install and find it again and then uninstall

Sorry that sounded a little demanding... I didn't mean it to be

We encourage our users, when developing in a critical environment, to have side-by-side installations so if a feature does not work out, or breaks something rolling back their install is not a hassle. While we *did* disable the indexer in 3.8.1, I cannot say that you might not run into OTHER problems and honestly I would feel bad if I said "sure no problem, have at it" and then you just ran into another problem.

If you are working successfully with your install now, please stay with it until we can stabalize ME and all the new features a bit more (we replaced/rewrote almost 60% of our code base... it might take af ew months). Our 3.8.2 goals are performance, our 3.8.3 goals are bugfixes and missing features and 3.9 is purely features and bugfixes.

So wait until 3.8.3 to pick up 3.8 then?

Yes if you don't want to do a side-by-side test setup.

We will be doing beta and RC releases for our upcomming releases now, so you might find 3.8.2 works fine for you when we start testing it, or you may want to wait until 3.8.3. I would just personally suggest to hold off atleast until the next release as 3.8.1 still has a few kinks to iron out.

Try this options : -vmargs -Xms32m -Xmx200m -Xss32m

ms - initial JVM memory - if you set this too big then start another JVM will be slow
mx - maximum java memory - if you can > 512M set this in 400m or more
ss - memory stack for c - eclipse use this

This is setting for 512 m ram.If You can more increase value

Advice 2: increase page swap (swap on linux, page swap or like on windows) Swap will not help with speed,
but help for out of memory

I know how to set thses options from command line, but myeclipse is launched with an icon in windows, how do I set these in windows?

mrasmussen,
You can right click on the icon (which is actually a shortcut in windows), then select Properties, and then in the "Target" box, add the arguments to the end of the line, so you may end up with something like this in the ENTIRE box:

Code:

C:\Java\eclipse-3.0\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms32m -Xmx200m -Xss32m

Or this if your path has spaces in it:

Code:

"C:\Program Files\eclipse-3.0\eclipse.exe" -vmargs -Xms32m -Xmx200m -Xss32m
