I have been using Ubuntu x64 and GWT/Eclipse for three years at as my work dev environment. Have upgraded both Ubuntu, Eclipse, all this time, to the latest versions. Never used the WindowBuilder (was not even free when I started this project, so had to stay away from it).
As previous messages said, the trick is the memory. At 2GB it was a pain to even open the PC. Upgraded to 4GB and now sit at an 8GB machine that gives me enough power to even run my app on Dev Mod. At home I set up a Linux VM under VMWare with 3GB for testing purposes. I am able to do almost as much as with my work PC, but I had to make sure 2 CPUs are registered for that VM. 64bit OS as well and latest Eclipse ... following the releases of the newest stuff (galileo->helios->indigo->juno). IMO windows are to be avoided for such type of development environments. Use a VM of them, if you need to test for IE clients (if you can avoid those as well you will be more mentally healthy at the end :D) Cheers, On Friday, July 13, 2012 11:19:20 AM UTC+2, Nick Floros wrote: > >> Hi, >> >> I have been evaluating GWT as a development framework in building a call >> handling application; maybe this is nuts idea but this is another story. >> >> It has been going kind of ok up to the point where my eclipse started >> running out of memory ; host os is Windows XP 32 bit.
