What's the best settings for Eclipse 3.5.2 on Windows 7 64 bit? I've read What are the best JVM settings for Eclipse?, but nowhere 64 bit system was mentioned. Eclipse 3.5.2 runs pretty slow on my 8GB windows 7 64 bit box. Thanks in advance!

  • Good point. I will address that in my next answer in that same "best JVM" question for eclipse3.6 Helios ;) – VonC Jun 09 '10 at 17:09

I've had to use compressed oops when running eclipse on 64 bit operating systems in general. See Ismael Juma's blog post on the subject. For Sun JVMs this means adding -XX:+UseCompressedOops to your JVM args in the eclipse.ini.

Start by making sure you're using a 64bit JVM. Other than that, there should be no special settings needed.
