That's very strange - have you tried restartting Eclipse? How about increasing the JVM's
memory limits (the -Xmx/-Xms flags)?
When Eclipse runs out of memory, I can't restart it because it crashes with an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError. That's why I reboot my machine.
As for increasing the memory limits, once Eclipse runs out of memory, no amount of memory flag tweaking will make Eclipse run again until I reboot the machine.
In general - a program shouldn't cause the system to require a reboot just by hogging memory.
I agree. However, since I'm using an earlier version of the kernel, I'm suspecting a kernel problem. But that's my guess.
I run Eclipse 2.1 on Windows XP Prof at work for months now and though it sometimes very
slow I don't remember havign to reboot Windows because of this. Now you are talking about
Linux, which should be much better at this.
I also run Eclipse 3.0 on Win XP Pro on a 3Ghz 1Gb P4, and it's very stable in that respect.
