Oracle JDeveloper 10g and memory consumption
I just installed the preview of Oracle JDeveloper 10g (correct, I was not at the PDC so I do not have Whidbey, Longhorn, Avalon, Indigo, [insert favorite pdc buzzword here] to play with :( It happens that I have to do some Java coding now and then, and I wanted to see what the new features were.
Anyway, what amazes me is the impressive amount of memory JDev occupies just to get running! I wish I could post a picture of it, but Task Manager reports the Mem Usage of jdevw.exe to 94 232 K! And I've not even opened up a project yet... phew! On my machine VS.NET 2003 chews some 20 Meg of memory right after startup, and if I load up a pretty big project, it rise up to 40 Meg.
JDev 10g do have some very neat features though, which I know is appreciated by the regular Java developers. The box I installed this on only has 256 Megs of mem, so I think I have to move this over to another machine if I want to be able to run anything else on the same machine at the same time. I must say the installation of Jdev is very neat - just unzip the whole stuff and run. A bit faster than installing Visual Studio.NET ;)
