NetBeans 6.9 and javaw.exe uses > 50% of CPU - netbeans

When i work with NetBeans 6.9 for PHP the javaw.exe is occupying more then 50% of CPU and about 450mb ram (ram is not really the problem) but CPU tend to overheat.
I had jdk6.5 for 64bit sys and now updated to latest jdk6.21 but it is the same, the CPU is always near 100%
is there a solution to this high requirements of javaw.exe?
OS: Win7 64bit
UPDATE:
I installed the NetBeans 6.7.1 the one that worked EXCELLENT to compare with 6.9.
so:
6.7.1 less memory usage by javaw.exe then 6.9 but cpu still in use > 50% nonstop
then:
I installed the JDK6_21 32bit cause i had 64bit and in the config (netbeans.conf) file set the path of the 32bit JDK.
6.9 less memory CPU still to high
6.7.1 less memory NO CPU usage when idle
SO im gonna downgrade to the 6.7.1 because it works for me and i dont really need the 6.9 cause i dont really use the new features that offers.
btw. 6.8 was crashing with no reason, so that option is out.

You could configure Netbeans to run java.exe instead of javaw.exe, and see if the behavior is still the same.
If it's the same, this is clearly a Netbeans problem, so I would suggest reporting this problem to Netbeans, since this is the way bugs get usually fixed :).

One thing you should consider doing on Netbeans (and Eclipse... and $insertOtherIDE) is to turn off automatic project indexing, compile on save, and other things that cause lots of work to happen in the background without your prompting.
In Netbeans 6.9, external scanning/indexing tends to be the biggest culprit when dealing with projects of considerable size. Try disabling it by (and these instructions are for the Mac, I assume they are similar on Windows)
Go to Preferences
Click on Miscellaneous
Click on the Files Tab
Deselect "Enable auto-scanning of sources"
After this you can force NB to re-scan by clicking Source->Scan For External Changes in the menu (might be Mac specific, again).
See if that helps you out at all...

I had the same problem (Win7 64bit). Everything was working, but suddenly (I think after refactoring some stuff) javaw.exe was constantly using the cpu.
After clearing the netbeans cache, everything was working again (delete the contents of the cache folder and restart Netbeans).
%UserProfile%\.netbeans\6.9\var\cache\
I had to do this before after getting strange errors in Netbeans and most of the time it solved the problems. I think sometimes it just gets out of sync.

Why does VS code take so long to start up?

Three weeks ago, I ditched Sublime in favour of Visual Studio Code. Everything was going great till the program started taking upwards of 30 seconds to start up (launch, show visual feedback) and another 20 or so to boot up (fill in syntax colours, load extensions, and stop stuttering). In the worst instances, it takes minutes to boot up (I used a stopwatch).
At first, I guessed that extensions cost me a lot in start-up time, so I uninstalled most of them. After that, I added 2GB of RAM to my system, moved my CPU to another laptop (smaller chassis, less PPI), swapped my HDD to an SSD, and reinstalled Windows. I didn't make these changes to help VS Code's start/boot time but for other reasons. But even after all these upgrades, VS Code's start-up time seems to increase as time goes by (even without changes to my "Workbench"). Is this normal? What makes it so?
My PC setup is: Core i5 520M # 2.4 Ghz, 6GB DDR3 RAM, 128GB Micron SSD.
My VS Code setup has five extensions installed, about thirteen lines in settings.json (including autoSave, JetBrains Mono font, colour themes for Light and Dark mode), and syncs settings to my Microsoft/GitHub account.
Since you've mentioned a DDR3 RAM I assume your system is quite old and 520M i5 CPU is really old (It's a 1st gen processor). Do you have similar problems with any other applications or is it just VSCode?
If you are confident that your system is not the problem you can try this;
As others have noted, It is based on Electron so under the hood you have Node & Chromium. You cannot have high expectations from something built on Electron which is known for it's notorious memory footprints. However, 30 seconds startup time is still long. It takes roughly 5-6 seconds in my machine to load and become fully functional, with 9 extensions installed (which are quite large extensions btw).
Another note here is that even when you uninstall a VSCode plugin/extension the directory of that extension never gets removed, VSCode just marks them as Obsolete in a JSON file and keeps the directories for whatever reason. You could try uninstalling & reinstalling, which might help. A simple uninstall will not be of much help since VSCode has cache & configuration directories that are not typically removed upon an uninstall. You'd have to manually remove them. If you are on a Windows machine check
C:\Users\<your name>\.vscode,
C:\Users\<your name>\AppData\Local\Microsoft and
C:\Program Files\Microsoft VS Code
for any leftovers related to VSCode and remove them.
The reason for this to wipe the previous install without any trace (you'll lose all your customizations since they are stored & kept in these directories even after uninstalls, so that when you reinstall, VSCode can access & load your previous configurations which makes your life easier btw)
Try reinstalling after. If you are on a UNIX system look up the equivalent directories, remove the leftovers and do a clean reinstall. Hope this helps.

Eclipse always exit when used in a virtual machine

I use ubuntu16.04 in VMware for learning Hadoop. The eclipse is Eclipse IDE for Java Developers at 2020.03 for linux_64.
And when use eclipse to write some java code, the IDE usually exits by itself without any error. And the eclipse is too slow when I use it. I guess that whether the memory is not enough for using IDE. But I found the memory is free when I check it. I allocated 2G of memory for ubuntu16.04.
And I search for this problem on web. I found many people believe the problem is eclipse caused. So they come up with a way to edit eclipse.ini.
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.browser.DefaultType=mozilla
Add this command to the last line of eclipse.ini.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work. So Do u know why? Should I allocate more memory for VMware?

Eclipse debugger stops working randomly

I have been working on a project that requires rigorous debugging at each step and I notice that my debugger just randomly stops working from time to time and does not respond to any of the breakpoints.
I tried restarting eclipse and unplugging my device over and over. Any particular reason this might be happening? Its extremely frustrating and I couldn't think of a better place to post this query.
Many a thanks in advance!
I know this is an old question. But I had that eclipse suddenly stopped working, i.e. died before even executing one line. I restarted VM and eclipse multiple time. Then I stumbled here. Thank you, it got my mind thinking.
For all major issues with eclipse, not loading, freezing or debugger fuck up (that is not because of your code :D ). Try the following line:
./eclipse -clean -clearPersistedState -refresh
First I would make sure your eclipse is not running out of heap space memory. If necessary increase the heap memory using the -mx Java command line flag. Running out of memory can cause various instability problems such as the one you describe.
-xms is the start memory (at the VM start), -xmx is the maximum memory for the VM
eclipse.ini : the memory for the VM running eclipse
jre setting : the memory for java programs run from eclipse
catalina.sh : the memory for your tomcat server

Horrible eclipse performance on macbook pro running 10.5.8

I am using eclipse galileo on my macbook pro. After a few minutes it starts dragging really badly, like it takes 8 seconds to open a file. I don't have many files open at all. I already modified the config file to increase ram and all that stuff. Is there something wrong with this version of eclipse, never had it run so poorly on here,
Thanks
After looking at this SO question, I would recommend:
using an optimized eclipse ini (like this one)
replacing in that eclipse.ini -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5 by -Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.6 (see this SO question)
use 64-bit Cocoa andand add to the JVM switches (still in the eclipse.ini) for running in 64 bit on Snow Leopard:
-XX:+UseParallelGC
-XX:+UseCompressedOops
(The last point would apply for Snow Leopard -- 10.6.x -- and not Leopard -- 10.6.5 -- as mentioned by zvikico, so read his blog post on the topic (and upvote his answer in this thread ;) )
I'm with OS X 10.5.8 and my Eclipse runs great. Start by looking at the heap (Preferences -> General -> Show Heap Status). Next, check the Error Log for errors in your Eclipse platform (Window -> Show View -> Error Log).
This could be a problem with one of your plugins or with the workspace. I would try downloading a clean Eclipse install (you can have as many as you need) and starting a new Workspace. Try importing your projects (do not copy the settings). See if it works better for you.
Make sure you get the Cocoa version.

Why does netbeans freeze when I'm trying to type?

I'm using NetBeans 6.7 on win xp*. I'm not really sure what the pattern is, but lately performance has gotten really bad to the point where it's almost unusable. Any ideas for where to look for slowdowns?
Intel Core Duo 2.2 GHz, 3.5 GB or ram, accoring to the system properties panel. 90 GB of free hard disk space.
NetBeans 6.5 "leaks" temporary files. It creates temporary files in %TEMP% (typically c:\\Documents and Settings\\*username*\\Local Settings\\Temp) and does not delete them. When enough files accumulate, access to the temporary directory slows to a crawl. That in turn drags NB down to a crawl.
To clean it up:
Shut down NetBeans
Open a command prompt and type:
cd %TEMP%
del *.java
del *.form
del output*
del *vcs*
Important:
Do not try to do this with windows explorer. It won't work.
The deletes can take several minutes each. Be patient.
This is much better in 6.7 and I have not seen it at all in 6.8.
If you're running on java6 you can use the jconsole app to connect to your running netbeans instance and see among other things, what the threads are doing, memory usage and whether you're in a race condition.
