Eclipse 2.1 is really a great IDE. I only have 2 complaints when running
Eclipse under Mac OS 10.2.6:
- Eclipse is very slow. I very much hope the performance will be better in
one of the next releases. Are there some informations about optimizations
for mac os?
- Eclipse crashes (about 3 times per hour). The version is stable and "rock
solid" under NT, and XP. I never had a crash when running Eclipse under
these systems. I can't give an exact error report. The situation differs and
the crash is not reproducable. But it chrashes often when I start an ant
task and the console window is not open. Has anyone else made these
observation? Is there something in the settings which could be wrong?

I heard the SWT team is working hard to cleanup MacOSX since it became a
primary platform for the Eclipse 2.2 plan.

I could make Eclipse 2.1 on macosx 10.2.5 and Java 1.4 crash by closing
a long tree in a java left pane when many jars were present (say, around
50 of them).
The problem is drastically reduced when I moved back to Java 1.3

Apple's version of Java 1.4 is not so solid as they paint it to be. I'm
sure they will come up with a bugfix release soon.
Also, the carbon port of SWT is, well, alpha quality, I would say, for
2.1. The good news is that the SWT team is fully aware of this and they
are focusing on making it better. I think Eclipse on mach-o can only get
better, it's just a matter of time or getting our hands dirty and help
the SWT fix thingg :-)
Oh, did I mention I love eclipse? :-)
If only wasn't this slow on macs :-(
but I just downloaded the lastest integration build and I'll try it out
right after this.

Thank you for your answer. I will go back to Java 1.3. Would you please
report to this newsgroup if the integration build runs better on mac os X?
best regards Jan Dieckmann
