it takes loads of time for eclipse CDT to start! in order to test a simple .cpp file we need to wait for minutes to actually start coding. any tips to speed up it's start? i have disabled all plugins at start up and i'm using java 7.1 and eclipse juno. i tried to configure the eclipse.ini file which lead to crash many times.
