I think since the beta the builder was changed to
build whenever the
resources changed, so that if you change a java
object, and a rule depends
on it, it will show up appropriately. You might be
seeing the effect on
that. As to if its a leak, well keep doing that, and
then press the garbage
collect button and see if it reclaims it. Normal
operation is for mem to go
up and down like that.
The task manager in windows is not always
informative, other then over a
long period of time. As the heap grows, the JVM can
request more from the
OS, even if it doesn't use it the task manager will
show it. Apparently in
java 6 or 7 that is all changing, but for now, have
a look at what the
little eclipse meter (down the bottom in M5) says.
Of course, a leak is always possible, the IDE has to
do all sorts of stuff
to parse/build the rules, sniff out DSLs etc.. (even
the colours) but as you
say, its recent behaviour, so I am thinking the main
thing that changed is
the builder.
Please let us know what you find.
Michael.
(ps just trying out M6, still some issues - 3.2
final is due in June, gosh I
hope it comes quickly !).

I installed the RC1 IDE this morning and started
using
it. There appeared to be some kind of memory leak
that
was not in the beta 3 version. The mem usage grew
every time the project was built. The more rules
the
bigger the jump. Have to restart Eclipse to clean
it
up.
Here's a little test that I run to try to
reproduce
the issue:
- Install a fresh copy of Eclipse 3.2M5a,
and the RC1 IDE
- Use the wizard to create a new Drools project
- Make sure auto build on
- Ctrl_c to copy the Sample drl file
- Keep hitting Ctrl_p to add new copies (each
copy causes a rebuild)
Have task manager open at the same time and watch
the
mem usage go up.
To compare, do the same thing with beta 3 IDE, the
mem
usage increase is far less obvious, and garbage
collection can reclaim it.
Did anyone else notice this?
Thanks,
Yuesong
