Running NetBeans 5.5 on Mac OS X 10.4.8 results in very sluggish performance with multiple second response time for mouse clicks.
Mac computer in use: PowerBook G4 1.33GHz (1 core) 1.5 GB RAM 120 GB 5400RPM HD Mac OS X 10.4.8 Java 1.5_06 NetBeans 5.5 (Production Release) with Visual Web Pack, Enterprise Pack, Glassfish Eclipse, JBuilder, JDeveloper run very well on this computer. NetBeans 5.5 is sluggish and unusable.
Could you please mention at least some actions which are slow ? Milos, do you know about any general issue with performance of NB 5.5 on Mac ?
jminnihan: your perceived sluggishness can have multiple sources. The most probable one is not having enough heap space for the IDE. Given that you have VisualWeb+Enterprise packs installed, the requirements for smooth running might be aq big higher. to check the heap space, please enable the memory toolbar (right click on toolbar and enable the Memory item) you can adjust the memory heap that the jvm is allowed to use by editing the NetBeans.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/etc/netbeans.conf file.
cannot do much unless the reporter includes additional information that could help us locate the source of problems. closing as worksforme, please reopen once you add the info.
