Run-time Workbench Loads Slow (newbie) [message #269664]

When I load Run-time Workbench to test my Eclipse 3.0 plug-ins, it takes at
least 5 minutes to load. Can anyone provide advice on how to decrease the
load time? I have over a thousand plug-ins in my regular Eclipse version and
that might be affecting the RTW load time, but Eclipse still loads faster
than the RTW. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Make sure that:

1) Look at the program arguments line on the launch configuration.
Remove the -clean option. That is put there by default and it causes the
plugin registry to be reparsed each time you start up. With a 1000
plugins that can take forever.

2) Look at the Configuration tab on the launch configuration. Make sure
the "Clear configuration area before launching" checkbox at the bottom
is NOT checked. A checked box will do that same thing as the -clean option.

Somebody in my group had the same problem and it was due to something
about changing the PDE platform target, or just erasing and putting a
new platform target over the same place. That somehow messed up his
workspace and it would take 5 minutes to come up each time. He simply
created a brand new workspace and that fixed the problem (after doing
steps 1 and 2 above, of course).
