Can I speed up eclipse?

perage — Thu, 06 Jan 2022 09:47:18 GMT

Hi!

When developing in Eclipse for WebDynPro applications, I experience eclipse as insanely slow. If I write a line of code, it takes 1-2 seconds between each character showing up. It works fine on smaller classes, for but larger ones, i.e a FPM class, it's impossible to use it. I actually have to write the code in a custom local Z-program, and paste it in.

The current FPM class has 5500 lines of code.

Any suggestions?

Hello Per,

try to increase the size of java heap memory in eclipse.

- Close all eclipse processes

- open "eclipse.ini" in the installation directory with editor

- search for parameter "Xms" and "Xmx"

- change to higher value accordingly to your local memory resources

e.g. for minimum heap size "-Xms1024m" ( means allocation minimum 1 GB )

e.g. for maximum heap size "-Xmx2048m" ( means allocation up to 2 GB )

- save "eclipse.ini"

Start eclipse again and test.

Hope it helps ( did it for me ).

Kind regards

Klaus

Change your class so the functionality is handled by other classes?

You should also check the eclipse log to see if there's something regularly failing. Finally, a reinstall usually does the trick.
