Helios unusable? [message #629178] Mon, 27 September 2010 12:36 Go to next message

Any one else have lots of problems using Helios for PHP? I seem to be filing bug after bug and already 2 of them make it impossible for me to work on PHP projects in Helios. Here's what I've dealt with so far:

- Freezing
- Using all memory allocated (2G avail for Eclipse).
- Cannot open PHP files with error "Could not open the editor: Argument not valid"

And some I can't remember. Helios is pretty much unusable for me and I've had to go back to using jEdit.

Any help is appreciated and I'd especially like to know if others are as frustrated as I am with this release.

No problems like these for me and my coworkers in Helios.
I may suggest to check the VM options set in you eclipse.ini (max perm
size, max heap size, etc.). You may also try with a fresh new
installation of Eclipse+PDT, because it may also be possible that your
PDT installation is broken.

Mauro.

I saw approximately those problems when using original Helios release.

See this blog post I wrote at the time which summarises my experiences (and those of several others who work here; same problems occurred for everyone who tried it).

http://learn.open.ac.uk/mod/oublog/viewpost.php?post=38720

In the recent SR1 release (PDT 2.2.1), so far - I have made extremely limited use of it - I haven't seen any memory problems or the previous errors, so I was hopeful they might have been fixed. However, the compare view does not work at all (bug 326194) which makes the platform more or less unusable for any significant work, at least of the type I do. The bug has been fixed, so I hope it can be updated soon. In the meantime... I wanted to test SR1 as we really need some other platform features asap... but I guess it's back to 3.5 again.

(If the compare bug is fixed, I'll try to use SR1 again for development and find out whether the performance/other bugs that previously affected us have been squished, or not.)

Agree that, unusable

"Bug 326247 Could not open the editor: Argument not valid" is other bad bug that makes ide so worse.

And there is no update sites at all in pdt helios SR1 installation(clean install), so i cannot get any fixes if these
come some day, argh.

The ant ui plugin isn't present in the all-in-one package. One way round
it is to use the "Install New Software" option to install say the Java
Development Tools which will then pull in the rest of Ant.
