Re: WDSCi versus Eclipse + MyEclipse

Paul,

As someone else already replied, I think WDSC (particularly the test
environment) is very memory hungry.  I can really notice the difference
between trying to run it on my machine with 1 GB RAM, where the WTE starts
in 30 seconds (at most) and or on my other machine with 512K RAM, where the
WTE takes of the region of 90 seconds to start up.  If you get down to 256K
RAM it must be totally unusable.

So I don't find the WTE too bad.  Because it starts in 30 seconds I don't
miss the lack of hot code replace either, and I can only recall one
situation where I've managed to crash it (inserting certain tags in the JSP
editor without adding in the closing tags at the same time).  The only
thing which does really bug me is the performance of the editor itself,
e.g. it takes 10-15 seconds to switch between views/perspectives, or when
you double click to open up a JSP sometimes that can take 10-15 seconds to
open up.

I've never used the MyEclipse plugin so don't have much to go by in terms
of a comparison.

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
