Comment on Speed up your eclipse as a super fast IDE

Comments

I love Eclipse for Java, but it seems absurd that this page even exists in the first place. I'm OK with a long startup time, but the amount of finagling I had to do in order to get the Android environment to run without hiccuping every 5 minutes is pretty ridiculous. You'd think desktop Java would move to, oh, I don't know, a model where you don't have to set the heap size like we did in Mac OS 7? It just seems archaic to sit there and try to reason how much heap space we'd possibly use ahead of time.

I don't want to care about that, and shouldn't have to.
