Peter,
I’m sorry to hear you ran into this problem, however I am very suspect of having WTP installed along side MyEclipse. ME is built ontop of the WTP platform to provide the RAD development tools that project isn’t focusing on developing. The issue is that we have developed and ship a specific version of WTP that ME requires (to avoid API breakages, especially considering these are not stable releases yet but milestones). So if you are installing a newer version of WTP inside of Eclipse, that is what is getting loaded and I’m actually surprised your log file doesn’t contain a whole slew of exceptions in the form of “MethodNotFound” and “ClassNotFound” exceptions from MyEclipse.

You may try a clean Eclipse/MYEclipse install (in a different location for testing for a day, and see if you run into the same issue). Also I suggest setting your -Xms to 128m.

I have tried many combinations. E.g ecllipse europa + jdk 1.5 or eclipse euro + jdk 1.6 or eclipse 3.2 + jdk 1.5. And many other combinations on different distributations of linux. Specially Fedora 7,8 and Ubuntu Recently. Even tried setting -vmargs at different places. I have 1G RAM so did a lot of combinations. I don’t know what normal experience with eclipse is. At every installation with JSF1.2 I have had lots of Perm Error. Specially while compiling and at some times while executing JSF application. I recently even set the program runtime vargs argument also. But always failed. Eclipse runs for some time and then breaks. I had a very bitter experience with eclipse. Once when next day i had to show some progress on the JSF page to the teacher i tried to compile at different times but always broke. That night i had to compile at least 20 times which took me till morning 3:00. Then after i showed the task to the teacher. The very next day i download netbeans 6 (very new at that time) and started using it. Netbeans hunged the whole computer while compiling but executed sucessfully without breaking. I always want to use eclipse for J2EE development but when i run visual web editor, which is one of the reasons i use eclipse breaks. After all we love any ide for how much efficient it has been to solve problems not the looks it has. So a greater community has to do something about this. I don’t care if it takes all of my computer’s memory. I have no problem when eclipse’s process climbs on memory and still reaches 100%. The main thing is it should not break. And I thing to note. On many instance, eclipse initally used 30% or less memory and while i did my development it climbed high to 70% and while compiling broke. And when after some day of installation this thing started first it coutinued more frequently the following day. And later days it kept breaking many times even in a single boot. So there is something that is stored on the Linux System that is taking more memory everytime eclipse start. If it is not true what is the cause?
