Speed with very large codebases in eclipse [message #176373]

Hi there,

I hope this is the correct newsgroup for this question now.

I'm working with a very large codebase here (27000+ java-files).
Eclipse does get a "little" slow in these dimensions.
Compiling almost takes an hour.
Is there a list of things that can improve performance when working with
such a very large code base?
Any particular settings I should activate/deactivate?
Any other hints or tips?

Greetings,
Malte

Increase eclipse VM memory : eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx600M
and split the project into more manageable subprojects/packages and compile
them separately.
