I'm more than happy with Netbeans.

Due to massive memory leaks when running NetBeans on Mac, I can only use it for 30 mins max before I need to shut it down to reclaim RAM. It may be related to how many times I invoke the debugger.


Am I the only one seeing this?


I have never been forced to shut it down, even if it has more problems with memory than Eclipse (I've to add that i mostly use NetBeans5.5beta, maybe there's some fix in it).
I any case, the following options added in .../etc/netbeans.conf proved to be helpful in increasing performance:


-J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-XX:MaxPermSize=160m -J-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC - J-XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -J-XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled

Look here: http://performance.netbeans.org/howto/jvmswitches/ index.html for details.

It's to be said that there are alternate sets of options and they depend on the amount of memory on your system. I recently upgraded my MacBook Pro from 1GB to 2GB (I need this for Adobe LightRoom and Parallels) and probably I've to rethink of those options.

As a marginal note, I'd suggest upgrading to 2GB as the system globally performs much better (I mean, this is obvious, what I want to say is that it performs much better than I expected after a memory increase).
