The memory usage of Eclipse 3.4 is through the roof to the point where it’s becoming an issue.
I have a simple BlackBerry project loaded and the usage skyrockets to nearly 400 MB, sometimes higher. Is there something that can be done to bring it down?
Eclipse 3.4 can consume a lot more memory than the previous versions, courtesy the spellchecker plug-in.
You can switch off the plug-in by going to Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> Text Editors -> Spelling, and unchecking the box title ‘Enable spell checking’.
Of course, the tips offered to use larger heap sizes and better garbage collectors would do you good as well.
