I have eclipse Ganymade. When i open eclipse or try to save file or
close eclipse i always get following error "Too many open files" On my
system i see 11543 files open (lsof | wc -l)

and i check on my system max files can be opened its 256584 (cat
/proc/sys/fs/file-max )

if i grep number of files opened by eclipse after starting eclipse, i
see 1994 (lsof | grep eclipse | wc -l). This number is on higher side
but still within limits of system right ? Whats the issue ? And why
eclipse opens so many files ?

Any fix for the same ?

Thanks in advance
Jigar

Jigar,

This sounds a bit familiar. You're picking up the 3.4.1 version? Which
package(s) are you installing? ON which OS? Linux I assume though you
didn't say; maybe you need to allow for more open files...

Yes, Its Version: 3.4.1 Build id: M20080911-1700. I have TPTP, BIRT,
spket. I am on Fedora 9. As i said my open file max size is 256584 and
if i check lsof -n | wc -l ...it shows 11543 ...its far more less than
max open files limit.

Thanks
Jigar
