Another suggestion. Hello, when you do not have plenty of RAM, the most important parameter is (in my opinion) the maximum heap size allowed for NetBeans. If you set it too low, NetBeans have to garbage-collect frequently, which slows the IDE. If you set it too high compared to the total amount of RAM available in your system, you leave too small amount of memory for other applications (such that the system starts to swap) and for the disk cache (which makes all disk I/O operations much slower). You have 1 GB of RAM - that is not much for running Tomcat and NetBeans and developing J2EE applications. The easiest and the most reliable answer is: Buy more RAM. Otherwise, you should carefully tune your JVM settings and save every piece of RAM. I think that 600 MB limit is too high - try to make it lower, e.g. 400 MB, by running NetBeans with switch -J-Xmx400M. Reference: http://performance.netbeans.org/howto/jvmswitches/index.html Similarly, you could tweak also Tomcat's settings such that it consumes less memory. I guess you use Linux (I deduce that from your e-mail footer). You can save a lot of memory if you use some lightweight desktop environment, e.g. Xfce instead of Gnome/KDE. You can save even more memory with some tiny Linux distribution targeted on older computers, such as Knoppix or DamnSmallLinux (DSL). > > Sang Shin wrote: >> I will ask NetBeans engineers on this. >> >> -Sang Shin >> >> kamruddin.nur wrote: >>> Hi, >>> I'm running Netbeans 6.1 with jdk1.6, J2EE5, tomcat 6 on my 2GHz >>> celeron processor with 1GB RAM. >>> >>> My problem: >>> Netbeans start up way too slow, >>> once started works stable but sometimes new window freezez for a while >>> and runs again.
