The latest Force.com IDE doesn't work

Hey,

 

Recently, I install the Force.com IDE plug-in for eclipse, but there are some problems. My eclipse version is Ganemyde, force.com IDE version is 16.0. After refreshing files from server (I have 30-40 metadata files), every five minutes, my IDE becomes extremely slow, after sometime it says Internal Error: Out of Memory. Do you like to exit the IDE? I don't know why this will happen like every 5-8 mins. Any idea?

I try to install Force.com IDE on Europa (3.3.2), it says Force.com IDE (16.0.0.200906151227) requires plug-in "org.apache.xerces (2.0.0)", or compatible.

This is in Eclipse's installation manager?  Did you download Eclipse for Java Developers, or a different build?


I just reinstalled the IDE into a fresh Eclipse 3.3.2 for Java Developers on Mac OS X 10.5, making sure to include the WST plugin from the Europa Discovery Site, and it worked fine.

Thanks, the Force.com IDE on 3.3.2 works fine, but doesn't work on 3.4.2...

I still don't know why you are seeing those OOM issues on 3.4.2 when you've cranked up the JVM heap size (per the other thread).  There are some other JVM/Eclipse memory spaces you could try beefing up, like permgen, but usually those give more distinctive error messages when they run out of memory.

 

I almost always run Eclipse with the default memory settings and it runs fine. Do you have an alternate computer you can try?

I tried on my laptop with version 3.4.2, still get oom error and sometimes permgen out of memory. Thanks!
