RE: WDSCi versus Eclipse + MyEclipse

Paul

I run WDSC on a 2Ghz P4 with 1GB of ram and don't experience those problems.
WDSC needs memory, the more the better.

I have also run it on a 600Mhz with 256mb of Ram, it works, but its slow,
and it occasionally crashes.

Hot Code replace does not always work. It usually works if you change code
in a method. It wont work if you change the signature of a method.

Subject: WDSCi versus Eclipse + MyEclipse


Internally, our team has been using WDSCi 5.1.2.    We have had several
issues with the IDE including:

a)       Performance
b)       WebSphere Test Environment (WTE) performance taking up to 10
minutes to start the server
c)       Hot code replace with WTE
d)       Crashes
e)       JDK currency

We have not been able to remedy the situation.  A colleague recommend trying
Eclipse with the MYECLIPSE plug in.  We have done some initial Testing and
have been pleased and impressed with just base Eclipse 3.0. Before we switch
over in mass, I would like to get others experience in this area.

1.      Has anyone done any comparisons between WDSC  (WebSphere Studio)
versus
Eclipse 3.0 with the MYECLIPSE plugin?
2.      Have others "struggled" with WDSCi 5.1 and 5.1.2?




Thanks,  Paul
