After I have upgraded to Eclipse Juno
Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers.
Version: Juno Release
Build id: 20120614-1722
I am facing following issues:
It takes ~5 mins to open eclipse.
If I try to clean a project it takes ~10 mins.
The following are the args that I have set
-vmargs -Xms256m -Xmx1024M -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
I have an 8GB RAM installed and I am using Windows 7.
Is there anything I can do about this issue? As during this period my system is stuck.
Thanks for your help.
This is a known issue. They have recently released a minor update (4.2.1) but much of the main issues with performance have yet to be addressed. If you read through that ticket you will see that there are a couple of things that can help speed things up immediately.
Switch to classic theme. Window > Preferences > General > Appearance > Theme switch to classic
On the same preference page disable animations.
I would add your name to the CC list and you can keep apprised of the improvements to performance. It seems that many of the performance issues (especially with the XML editor) will not be fixed until 4.2.2.

Rubymine 7.1 (build RM# 141.644) debugger on a rails 4.1.10 project is very slow. Rendering pages takes +12 seconds.
I've tried setting my JVM properties as described here but its still super slow. Here are my settings:
cat rubymine.vmoptions
-Xms1024m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=250m
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
Any other suggestions would be welcome. Thanks!
There's a slightly experimental release for OSX Yosemite that is quite a bit faster.
They say, "This alternative RubyMine 7.1 distribution bundles JDK 1.8 customized by the JetBrains team for better performance. Please note this non-default option may contain some issues."

I'm using Eclipse PDT on a rather large PHP project and the IDE is almost unusable. It takes nearly 30 seconds to open a file, and other actions, like selecting a folder in the file explorer, editing some text, etc. are equally slow.
I followed various instructions to speed it up but nothing seems to work. This is my current eclipse.ini file. Any idea how I can improve it?

It looks like Eclipse in silence have created a fix and announced it in all secracy through their wiki (!). It seems to alleviate the problems for me at least; though I have not tested it in length yet.
See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Juno_Performance_Investigation
Basically you should install the "Juno SR1 Patches/Eclipse UI Juno SR1 Optimization" from their 4.2 update site: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2
Bug-tracking for this optimization: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394588
There are known performance issues with PDT 3.1 and eclipse 4.2 (juno).
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385272
This is the solution:
Open a different perspective (for example java, but not php) and restart eclipse. Afterwards you can savely switch back to php perspective. Eclipse will have no performance issues.
Also mentioned here
Actually in looking at your machine configuration, you should make sure nothing else is going on in the machine and experiment with reducing your required memory, say something like -Xmx512m. If you are requesting too much heap space, then it's possible you are doing a lot of OS paging.
There is also a known bug which makes eclipse juno slow on some systems :
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=385272
A workaround seems to be to delete the workbench.xmi file.

Ensure you are already running on a package from the Juno SR1 release (September 2012)
Invoke Help > Install New Software
Select this repository: http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.2
Expand Juno SR1 Patches and install Eclipse UI Juno SR1 Optimizations
Worked for me
I was having similar issues with the Eclipse and the ARM emulator running. When I switched from tab to tab on Eclipse it would take 5 seconds for it to switch over and Eclipse would be in a "Not Responding" mode for a moment. I actually increased my heap memory on my eclipse.ini by using -Xmx1024m. It fixed the issue.
I had very big UI performance issues upon switching to 4.2 (using PDT) and after investigating for a while, I noticed it was due to... the PHP perspective. That doesn't make any sense, but I could confirm it on two different computers.
Try switching to another one (like, the Resource one), then restart Eclipse (last part is important).
Let me know if that helped.
I was having huge problems with performance (switching between editor windows was SLOW). I modified the eclipse.ini file to use -Xmx1024m rather than -Xmx512m and the performance is much better.
Update -- After a while I started noticing the fix above did not make my problems go away entirely. I did find another post above helpful. I install the Spring Source Toolsuite plugin and I believe that may be the source of the slowness. After installing the patch at the following link, Eclipse is running much more smoothly: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform_UI/Juno_Performance_Investigation
Eclipse 4.2 Service Release 2 was released a few days ago (1 Mar 2013. It is the result of the all of these investigations and the patches suggested previously.
Give it a shot!
Make sure you have turned off "show whitespace characters" on Linux.

I'm using Eclipse 4.2.2 version for Developing android Apps. But its slow when coding my applications. (not XML graphical layout or Android Emulator)
I'm using NetBeans also, but it's working really well!
Specially I want to notify here I've added many more plugins to Eclipse and now I've uninstalled all of that. Now there is only ADT Plugin with Eclipse Base Plugins.
I've seen some best settings for speed up eclipse UI.
I want to know what's the best settings for my laptop.
Windows 8.1, 12 GB Ram.
at lastly sorry for posting here, I cant post any questions because I'm blocked.
I hope best solution from here.
I have been running eclipse properly. After it loads I get:
"Initializing Java Tooling".
Incompatible magic value 0 in class file org/eclipse/jdt/internal/core/search/BasicSearchEngine
I have been looking, and what I have found is Eclipse hanging initializing java tooling
I have set JAVA_HOME and -vm in eclipse.ini
Still, no success.
Any ideas would be appreciated

Added after I solved the issue
(Stack Overflow won't let me post this as an answer cause I am of ill repute.)
Never mind.
It may be important to have the answer to what I did so that people that have the same issue does not have to go through the hoops I went.
First, I went to the Help/About Eclipse/Installation Details. In the Installation History, with using compare and revert, I started reverting what I had installed (Compare and Revert are pretty cool BTW.) I finally detected which was the latest stable version, and the installation that broke it all
Spring Source at http://dist.springsource.com/release/TOOLS/update/e3.7
Initially I selected some extra components that sounded cool, but the second time around I pretty much went for the required, plus support for AOP, Web Tools, and Flex and WebServices. Other than that I ignored all the rest of the stuff. That worked.
I had selected before (one of the ones that killed it, do not exactly which one), in addition to what I left installed: Spring Mylyn Integration Spring Tool Suite AWS Integration Spring Tool Suite Maven Support Eclipse Weaving Source
I also had the "Mylyn Builds Connector: Jenkins/Hudson integration", which had worked for me in the past. I still suspect that it was one of the Spring components.
I hope this helps
Usually, a restart will solve this issue. As #Carsten mentioned, close all open files and terminate eclipse then re-launch the application. I have encountered this problem many times. The causes of this range from:
Low memory assigned to eclipse. You could increase the memory by editing the eclipse.ini file and change the options -X* JAVA_OPTS
Loading large files (XML is always a culprit in this case).
Attempting to format large XML files
Immediately after installing a new plugin and not restarting eclipse right away
etc
Clean \Workspaces\MyEclipse 8.5 M2.metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.resources.projects folder after closing eclipse/myeclipse .That's it.
This is an STS issue however they blame it on an Eclipse bug which has been fixed:
https://issuetracker.springsource.com/browse/STS-696. If you look at the dependencies of the STS plugin you will notice that the Eclipse WTP version is way passed the one that is mentioned in the Eclipse Bug..
Can anyone give an optimized configuration for Eclipse Helios.
I am using XP,i3,3 GB Ram I work mostly on Eclipse and use few lightweighted application along with firefox.
Take a look at this answer for "optimized" eclipse.ini settings file for Eclipse Helios.
Since adding the Blackberry Java classes from their website into eclipse, I've had it where eclipse will randomly close, with no discernible pattern, rhyme, error or reason. Here is the environment/software packages that I am using:
Windows XP SP2
Eclipse v3.5.1
Blackberry Java Plugin v1.1.1.200911111641-15
Blackberry Java SDK 4.5.0.21
I've tried the usual steps of complete uninstall and reinstallation of Eclipse and the accompanying plugins on multiple systems with the same configuration, including one that had a fresh install of Windows XP SP2. Upgrading to Eclipse 3.6 didn't work (the plugin wont' install as it's the wrong version), nor the downgrade to 3.4 for the same reason. I also increased the heap size to 512 (system has two gigs of memory) as some research into Eclipse doing this type of thing with Groovy was resolved that way, but again, no dice. Eclipse works great when the blackberry plugins are not installed, and no entries of errors or issues in the event log are helping to show what the issue with these plug-ins might be.
So if anyone has ran into this issue, and even better, has a solution, I'd love to hear about it. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: An additional to my issue, autoComplete with the Blackberry SDK seems to make this extremely unstable, like almost a guaranteed crash. Is this fixable at all?
For anyone that loads this question up trying to find a solution, I've never found a fix. It seems to be a bug with this version of the IDE. If there is a fix, please post.
Did you try to downgrade Eclipse to 3.4 (Ganymede)? I experienced similar issues when I tried upgrading Eclipse to something greater than 3.4.2.
I think the problem is with the plugin, not the IDE. Eclipse has always been stable for me until I installed the BB plugin. Since then it crashes all the time. Since I've installed the release (non-beta) version of the plugin that was recently released I can't even get my project to build.
This could be a manifestation of this bug in Eclipse. Check your C:\eclipse directory for files like hs_err_pidxxxx.log. The file goes on to explain this error:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:
#
# EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) at pc=0x753ba053, pid=3144, tid=5820
#
# JRE version: 6.0_20-b02
# Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (16.3-b01 mixed mode, sharing windows-x86 )
# Problematic frame:
# C [USP10.dll+0x1a053]
I've been experiencing this as well. It's completely debilitating. It causes Eclipse to just up and crash out of nowhere (and programming in a language as verbose as Java without Content-Assist is insane).
The bug has been fixed in Eclipse 3.6M7, but unfortunately I can't get the JDE Plug-in to install in the latest release candidate.
This is a known issue with Eclipse 3.5.X and has been fixed for 3.6.0

Looks like we are stuck with this until the next update to the BB Eclipse plugin.
