Is there a way to limit the amount of RAM that Dart Editor uses up?

I found it was using 600 MB of RAM, even more than Visual Studio (which I shut down when it gets to 400 MB of RAM).

Solution

  • The dart editor is based on Eclipse which is in turn based on Java. You can tell java to limit the amount of memory an application can use on start-up in the init file.

    In the DartEditor.ini file you can set the maximum memory size to use. Here 1400 Mo

    -Xmx1400m

    This is a command line option to java. More info on java command line options can be found here: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/tools/windows/java.html#options

    or the java man pages.
