IDEA 8.0M1 (OS X) runs of of memory immediately

If it is the compiler that is running out of memory, you can increase the memory the compiler is given in the settings:
Settings > Compiler > Maximum heap size (Mb)

Bas

I can't even load our project without 8.0M1 running out of memory (under WinXP). I normally set the max memory to 384m, but even with 512m it runs out of memory while loading...

Back to the previous version I guess :(

Hi,

try increasing the -XX:MaxPermSize parameter

At least it worked for me under linux

I've tried running IDEA 8.0M1 on OS X 10.4.11 and it loads my project very slowly.
It seems it gets stuck after the "loading project" (the one with the messages "loading components", "scanning index files", etc) disappears.

The first time I tried the window stayed grey and not responding for longer than 5 minutes. At the end I got a pop up prompting to increase xmx, which I did.
Then I tried with the new settings and this time it opened the project after about 2 minutes, but memory usage was just below 500MB and everything was terribly slow.

Finally I edited Info.plist by hand as suggested and increased xmx to 1024m. It still takes a minute to open the project and memory usage after GC shows: 462M of 882M but the rest of IDE operations at this point are fast as usual.

For comparison, IDEA 7.0.4 took 20 seconds to load and memory usage after gc was 37M of 75M

I'll be glad to provide any further information if needed.

Regards

Hello Paolo,

The memory requirements for initial indexing have been significantly decreased
in the latest Diana EAP build, available from http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/IDEADEV/Diana+EAP
