Eclipse Ganymede javascript editor uses huge memory

Question

Hi,

I am new to here, but I wish someone can help me resolve the problem:

version: 3.5 OS: Win 7 64bit JVM 1.6

I am using the javascript editor to write some code using YUI package, and seems it uses extremely huge amount of memory. Even when I put the mouse cursor on a variable, it will put up about 100M, so it runs to 1G very soon...

I tried to disable the javascript syntax validator, but seems I might only change the config file tag to really disable it...

I use eclipse 3.2/3.3 on another machine (Win XP), which runs well...

Please advice what happens and what should I do.

Thanks a lot

Hi, Abel and Manuel:

Thanks for your prompt response.

I will try ask the eclipse community today.

I can see the memory heap runs up when I use the javascript editor, it can return to around 150M if I clear the memory (gc), but I have to do so every 2 minutes
