From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040615 Firefox/0.9 Description of problem: Installed JRE: java-1.4.2-ibm-1.4.2.0-1jpp_8rh Target OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS - U2 Developer Suite: 2.0 Over repeated debug sessions on run->debug as runtime workbench, the target (inferior) workbench takes longer and longer to launch, and becomes increasinly sluggish. javaw often takes up 100% processor time on launch for upto 3 minutes (normal launch times should 10-20 seconds). Killing eclipse (and it's supporting jvm process) does not help. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.0 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Retrieve plugin (any) project 2. Run->Debug as Runtime Workbench 3. Repeat several times Actual Results: The launched debug workbench becomes increasingly less responsive, takes up considerable processor time to launch, Expected Results: The launch and responsive times of the debug workbench should remain constant across all sessions. Additional info:
Usage of the bea jvm does not improve performance (it might a little bit). Usage of Sun's JVM seems to improve performance quite a bit.
There is no indication of which eclipse package is being used here and RHDS 2.0 is old and unsupported. Closing bug.
