Charlie, Thanks for your advice.
I turned on the heap monitor and it has not crashed since then. Heap size is 139M of total: 248M max: 495M mark:<none> . On doing garbage collection it drops to 64M of 248M If CF builder freezes again due to excess memory usage, I will increase the heap size. But, under Window->preferences->general->Startup and shutdown I see all plugins in that window are activated at start-up Coldfusion SQL Plugin Appcode generation plug-in ... ... .... Aptana scripting Automatic updates scheduler Could the fact that so many plug-ins are activated be causing CF builder to freeze? Also, I use Flash Builder 4.5(but that does not freeze often) lot of times along with CF builder. I understand some people have commented that Eclipse based IDEs are resource hungry even though my system was 8GB RAM I appreciate your prompt response and time. ________________________________ From: Charlie Arehart <char...@carehart.org> To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Wednesday, August 7, 2013 4:14 PM Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion Builder freezes abruptly Chris, there could be any number of explanations, but one is that you may be running out of memory (within the heap of CFB). You can try to find out if that’s possibly an issue by turning on the “heap monitor” within cfb (an available feature under window>preferences>general), to see if perhaps you are running high on use of heap. And if so, you can do a Garbage Collection to see if the use of heap drops much. If not, that could be the problem. One thing to note: even if it is not showing high use of memory now, it may be using more after a period of time, when things go wrong. So keep an eye on it. If that’s the issue, you can increase the heap use, via the XMX element in the java args, in the cfbuilder.ini in the CFBuilder directory, as discussed more at: http://cfmumbojumbo.com/cf/index.cfm/coding/increase-cfbuilder-performance/ Let us know if that helps. /charlie From:ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Chris Sent: Wednesday, August 07, 2013 3:29 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion Builder freezes abruptly This has happened few times in a week. ColdFusion Builder freezes before I can save my changes. I have to forcibly close it due to which I lose my changes.
