GC Warning

Hi,

I m trying to run an modified version of the Eclipse IDE, and when i give the ./IDE_NAME command at the shell prompt i get the following error:

GC Warning: Repeated allocation of very large block (appr. size 3407872)
May lead to memory leak and poor performance

Is there something that I can do to debug and solve this issue?

Thanks,
Ashlesha.

Did you build the modified version yourself? And if so how did you build it?

Also what version of eclipse are you using and what are you using as your java runtime? That error reminds me of something I saw using eclipse with GCJ 3.x but that what a long time ago.

Well if you're using Sun's java than the problem is most likely with your built version of eclipse. I'd check how they're doing the build (unlikely source of problems but should be easy to eliminate) and what kind of modifications they made to eclipse.

I'm assume that you've tried upstream eclipse as well and haven't experienced these problems there?
