Please don't suggest -Xmx or -Xmx this is not my problem
First Thanks Justin for letting me know that swing componets hog more
memory than awt components, I haven't switched over yet to check this out
for myslef but I will try it. Someone posted that java 1.1 something had
a garbage collection problem with shape3D's. That sort of error would be
consistant with the problems I am having. Does anyone know if this problem
was really fixed for jdk 1.2.1? My program is used for a phsychology
experiment so it displays many trials consecutively. Each trial consists
of a task in the j3d environment. I attatch one branchGroup and display it
for the trial while creating the nextBranchGroup. I then display the one
that was just created, and remove the one that was just displayed. I only
ever have two Branchgroups. So I believe that if the program runs through
two trials it should be able to run through n trials. However this is not
the case I can only run about 13 trials.
I can run more trials using an -X switch but the program begins to slow
down when I do this. In any case, I shouldn't need to do this. The
program runs and should never require more memory than it does during the
first two trials. If it is the case that jdk1.2.1 for windows NT has a
problem garbage collecting shape3d's this would explain my problem. If
this is the case is their a patch or workaround or something like
that. If this garbage collector error has been fixed are their other
similar errors that could be causing my problem?
Thanks for any suggestions
