Sorry, I have to agree with Phil here. It has been my experience that using a server VM might add a few seconds to startup and will use more memory, but I found that the NetBeans GUI interactions were zippier once the VM warmed up. Since NetBeans startups are fairly rare, it's not a good determi

Hi Phil, First of all, you're always building both server and client for 32 bit, what's the big deal with always building it for 64 bit? Second, I'm agree that in most cases server VM may be better, but in my case I'm programmer, not server administrator, and all day long I'm using NetBea

I am fairly sure we do not want the build system to spit out a 64 bit client VM by default. My recollection from many years ago is that the VM team and performance team determined that the 64 bit server VM was as good as, or better than the 64 bit client VM on all the metrics that mattered and t

Hi, Attachments get stripped by the mailing software. If the patches are small enough please include them inline, else post them somewhere accessible. Changes would be needed for both the old and new build systems. Thanks, David Holmes On 27/12/2012 1:56 AM, Aekold Helbrass wrote: Hi All,

Hi All, So, last time when I asked about 64 bit ClientVM someone explained me that it's fully compatible, just not build. I've made 2 patches to build system to build 64 bit client VM for linux. Unfortunately I do not have windows installation to check if it works there, but on linux it works fin
