Re: [platform-swt-dev] Why Java Visual Applications is very slow on Mac

[Mike Wilson <Mike_Wilson@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do use Macs (both a dual G5 PowerMac and a MBP) and don't find that the drawing performance of Eclipse on the Mac is much different than other Macintosh applications. This measure makes more sense to me than trying to compare between operating systems. The differences in the raw speed of widget and graphics drawing is by far the most important factor between operating systems; Java has little to do with it.

Marcio,

Things are probably a little quiet right now as many people who follow this list are on vacation.  I personally don't use a Mac, but I know a lot of Eclipse developers who do, and they swear by it.  I wonder if it's the version (or type) of Java VM.

Also, Eclipse has both a Cocoa and a Carbon version.  Have you tried both?

Sorry I couldn't be more help.

cheers,
ian

Hi everyone.

Why Eclipse, Netbeans and all java visual applications is very slow on Mac OS X ? (10.4, 10.5.x)

I have a macbook black 2.4, 2GB RAM and 250 HDD and when I lauch that`s applications on my Mac OS X 10.5.7, it`s slow during your execution. But, when I launch the same applications on the Windows XP on the same machine (boot camp), it`s much faster.

Why ? Mac is not a good plataform for java developers ?

I am a little frustrated. :-(

I appreciate any types of answers.

Thanks.
