I’m developing application with JBoss AS 5 with a special configuration according to my needs (Web container, ejb3 and JMS)
IDE: My Eclipse 6.5
Hardware: Apple macbook 2.3Ghz, 2Gb ram
MyEclipse hot deploy works fine, but when I need to change method’s sign or introduced new classes the system ask for a reboot of the JBoss. This slows the development process a lot. Moreover, the JBoss consumes a lot of memory (starting footprint about 500mb!). I’m wondering if there is a way to decrease the requirements for a developer environment or I just need to switch to a more powerful hardware?
I would suggest a more powerful hardware.
My computer specs
but 2.4GHz -> NetBeans + JBoss 4.0.x
memory -> IntelliJ + JBoss 5
