Does Eclipse have a mechanism similar to JBuilder's About dialog "Force
GC" button? I notice my machine slowing down a lot after having run
Eclipse for a long time, and when I check the Task Manager, I see that
Eclipse is using as much as 80mb of RAM. How can I do a GC on that?

Thanks,
Jonathan

Hi,

There are some 3rd party plugins that can do that. Personally I use the
'Platform Extensions' plugin (http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttl). It has
versions for Eclipse 2.1 and 3.0 all milestones.

HTH,

Csaba

Our CodePro Studio product (non-commercial version available for $99)
includes a Memory Monitor view with a GC button.

http://www.instantiations.com/codepro/ws/docs/features/memor y_monitor.html

The product also includes more than 300 other features including code
auditing, metrics, design patterns, dependency analysis, Javadoc repair,
build & task automation, collaboration tools, and dozens of other ergonomic
enhancements.

You can try the Eclipse Memory Monitor, which is build after the various
JBuilder Memory Monitor OTs I've contributed for JBuilder.

The Eclipse Memory Monitor is free and available for Eclipse 2.x and 3.x,
see:

For Eclipse 3.x...

.... or Eclipse 2.x

Is that a regular plug-in that should be extracted under my plugins
directory?

Extract the zip file, and then "Import... > Existing Project". I think
that should work.

2 Questions:
1) Is this for 3.0 only? Am I wasting my time trying it under 2.1.x?
2) Could you create a regular plugin instead of importing this as a PDE
project? I don't use PDE (not sure if it is even installed in my
Eclipse) but I'd like to try this tool if it will work on 2.x

Thanks,
Eric
