Eclipse Grinding... Part 2

Okay, I've calmed down now...

If you ever actually manage to load the thing : Preferences->General->Startup/ShutDown you can choose which plugins get invoked. I switched ALL these off, and even though this included some SAP related Plugins, I was still able to do everything I needed to. This sped it all up!

Eclipse is grinding my gears. Random Rant post, no useful information! :)

It sucks. I try and find merit where I can, try and see the bright side, and this makes for a good life on the whole. However, I'm getting increasingly frustrated with SAP washing their hands of responsibility of maintaining a decent development environment.

Having followed various blogs on the web explaining how to allocate more memory to Eclipse, and switch off all the plugins, I'm still only successfully launching the application about half the time, and then frequently hanging when trying to do mundane tasks like opening a CDS view, or interrogating a package.

I just wish there was an alternative. The way they've Eclipse hooking into the GUI Logon pad to pick up server details for logons was a really neat trick. As a way of developing UI5 applications and then loading on to BSP works nicely...

It's just it'll be working okay for a bit then for some reason I can't quite discern, it'll not load, or load and not work. AAAARRRHRHHGHHHGHGH!!
