Question

Hi I am using Netbeans IDE 6.5.1. I have made projects in netbeans. My pc configuration is :RAM : 1 GB, HD: 160 GB, Processor: AMD, OS: Window Xp Sp2. Netbeans IDE takes around 2 hrs time to load at my pc (too much time), i had read somewhere that for improving netbeans performance you can remove extra modules which are not required. SO i did, removed some plugins which was not required for my project. But after that when i click on services tab, netbeans just got hangs. It does not response to any thing. How to solve this problem......?

I have also tried to reinstall Netbeans IDE, but it is not working. Netbeans can't be removed. i had downloaded netbeans from Netbeans website.plz help.

Other Config:

jdk 1.6.12 Netbeans IDE 6.5.1 - full version

How much time it should take to load complately, according to my pc configuration.(if no other processes are running at that time.) ?

Thanks

Answer 1

This could be anything. Please provide more relevant information about your environment.

• Which Netbeans bundle (Java only, Java EE, ...)?
• Which JDK version?

You could

• reinstall JDK (or upgrade to newer version)
• reinstall Netbeans (or upgrade to newer version)
• backup and remove you Netbeans user folder
• run VisualVM and check if Netbeans is eating too much memory
  Note: VisualVM comes with JDK starting with version 6u10.
• It should be noted, that Netbeans need much more RAM and HDD space compared to most ordinary applications.

Hi

Maybe try to defragment your hard disk and check for background services on your system (use msconfig - its a good tool).

At the worst case, try to format your hd re-install your OS. Maybe an slow running system causes netbeans hanging.

Are other applications having problems too?
