We're already using 1GB of RAM for Eclipse. I can't specify more or Eclipse won't even start. My current eclipse.ini looks like this:
-showsplash -nl en_US -clean -framework plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar -vm C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk1.6.0_14\bin\javaw.exe -vmargs -Xms1G -Xmx1G -XX:PermSize=128M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -XX:+UseParallelGC -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true BTW, I'm using WinXP 64-bit. Don't know if that makes a difference. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Richard Rodseth <rrods...@...> wrote: > > Couple of quick thoughts > > 1) Up the Eclipse/FB memory (Google for instructions) > 2) Look into flex-mojos for maven-based builds > 3) If you're sharing code you *are* going to need library projects as you > describe, and in my experience a bunch of projects does slow down FB > considerably. > > > On Thu, Oct 1, 2009 at 9:43 AM, gtb104 <gtb...@...> wrote: > > > > > > > Does anyone know of a resource that specifies the best way to structure a > > very large Flex project?
