Since RDP seems to restart fairly fast, over all, I don't mind that...
Except, when I am in the middle of debug...

You can change the heap size allocation of 1024M by changing a setting in the eclipse.ini file. Specifically, the line marked:
-Xmx1024m
can be changed to a different memory allocation, like so:
-Xmx1536m
I tried 2048 but Java doesn't seem to like this amount. I'm not guaranteeing this will work on all PCs.
What this does is change the allocation to the heap to that much memory. I strongly recommend you NOT do this however if your machine doesn't have the memory capacity to support it, as it will affect your operating system (and you thought it was slow enough already?). Machines with 4G or better appear to function OK with this higher reserved amount.
This doesn't get rid of the memory issue, but should lessen your restart need.

Hi,
I am working on one of my largest programs, with approx. 8,479 lines. And my memory usage always seems to jump up.
Current, it shows 840M of 1024M on Heap-Size.
preferences>General>show heap status (Check-box = CHECKED)
I have to do a save after almost every-line change, it *seems* or my screen turns milky white.
Restarting RDP seems to temporarily clear it up, but after a little while, eventual it seems to shoot back up...
Anyway, a restart seems to clear up a lot of resources!
Glad that I can see the creep of memory. The last re-start of RDP, seems to have working for me. :)
PS. I have an Intel core i5 CPU with 8GB of memory on Windows-7 64-bit.
