    Hi. Some users have extremely slow startup of myeclipse 8.5.
    What is the proper approach to analyzing why this is so slow?

    thanks
    Jeff

    Jeff,

    Can you check if moving to a new workspace, the startup time for ME 8.5 improves? If yes, I have the following suggestions –
    1. Turn off the options which are not used here – open MyEclipse IDE, from menu options click on Window > Preferences > General > Capabilities
    2. If you have many large projects within your workspace, please create smaller workspaces with fewer projects each.
    3. Perform -clean. Please refer – https://www.genuitec.com/forums/topic/troubleshoot-using-the-clean-command-line-argument/
    4. Turn off the features not currently used. Open Help > MyEclipse Configuration Center > Dashboard. Uncheck the checkbox for add-ons not used. This will prompt the user to verify if the said software should be removed. Upon confirmation click on the [Apply x changes] button under *Pending Changes* and follow the wizard.
    5. Turn on the heap status monitor under Window > Preferences > General and click on “Show heap status” checkbox. Click on [Apply] and [OK]. This will add heap status monitor under the status bar. Monitor the steps that result in a jump in heap. You can run the *Garbage Collector* to bring the heap down.

    Thanks Joy.
    I imagine the heap monitor won’t do much to analyze about the startup right? Since it won’t be available until post startup?

    Jeff,

    Can you check if this is still a problem with a new workspace?

    Thanks Joy. I can’t tell you the reason but this is not longer a problem.
