JMP instability

Hey everyone.



I have been using jMP on Windows 7 for about 3 weeks and it has crashed on average 3-4 times in an evening when I am coding. It seems to hang then simply lock up entirely - not redrawing the screen when doing netbeans core stuff like refactoring code - or opening folders.



It is getting to the point that if i cannot fix it- then im going to have to revert back to eclipse which I dont want to do - id rather help use and test the proper tooling. This problem is also being experianced with a member of my development team - also using the Windows version on XP.



I cannot find the debug output on the harddrive - messages.log and message.1 which other users say to look at.



Please help! I want to use the tooling - but its making it difficult! }:-@ }:-@ }:-@ }:-@

Well can you describe what exactly you do when that happens? Do you use the latest update center version or alpha-1? What graphics card do you use? This is more of a complaint than a bug report, with proper info it might be possible to help…

I am unsure on the update center front - I am currently using the installation wizard version of jMP - as opposed to the older one - so whatever that uses.



I also seem to be unable to update - it says it finds 17 updates, I click update, it then sits for a long time then freezes again.



My PC spec is:



AMD X2 4600+

4gb ddr2 ram

ATI X1950gt 256mb graphics card

120gb hdd

Windows 7 - latest updates

Well, I explicitly wrote in the thread where you downloaded that version that you should not update it and that its not a release but an installer test
Do you have a JDK installed? Its required for jMP although it might start without.

Yeah i have the latest oracle jdk installed.

got the debug output :

Try adding -J-XX:PermSize=256m to the jvm switches in etc/jmonkeyplatform.conf and see if that works better.

so far no crashes - will report back !
