Does Eclipse Europa crash over and over again?

If even the changes described in my previous post you have problems with Eclipse 3.3 (Europa), then probably you're using the same workspace from a long. Create a brand new workspace and re-import anything.

Remember you had to re-set all code formatting rules (if they are different by Eclipse built-in) as long as Run/Debug configurations.

Why Eclipse Europa 3.3 crashes

If you're using the latest release of famous IDE you've surely experienced a lot of problems: every 10 minutes it crashes! Time depends by the projects opened and plug-ins installed.

Today my Eclipse crashed at least 15 times. So it was come the time to fix the problem. After some research I discovered the problem. For a well known bug you had to change the way you launch the IDE.

Change your eclipse.ini in the Eclipse's installation directory to:

-showsplash org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-Xms40m
-Xmx256m

If you've a lot of memory try my configuration:

-showsplash org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m

Your productivity will thanks ;-)

Eclipse 3.3 Europa sucks!

Three days ago I installed Eclipse 3.3, called also as "Europa". Today I'm back to use the previous one since it's much more stable and fast! Moreover the new Eclipse Update Manager works bad since it alerts me about new updates but I can't download and install its from the IDE cause unknown error!

Eclipse 3.3 Europa sucks (for now)!
