I've come across a couple of issues whilst making my program. The first one is that Eclipse(Mars 4.5.0) seems to lag specifically when I open the preferences, and then sometimes whilst normally operating it (i.e. Just writing code). Should I allocate more memory to solve this problem?
Secondly, it is sort of a tie in, my program(Java) has been slowing down as i progress with making it. I understand that having several for-loops as well as nested-loops would cause some significant lag to the program, as of right now this is as efficient as I can get though. So is there a way to allocate more memory to the program, or would I even have to allocate more memory in the first place?
Thanks in advance. I'm not very knowledgable in this area of programming, so apologize if it seems like a silly question.
To add more heap space to your specific program you can go into run configurations> arguments and under VM arguments add -Xmx1500m This will reserve plenty of space for your program. As for eclipse being slow, I would suggest preforming a clean boot. That is what I always do whenever my applications are running slow. If that doesn't help, follow this link to allocate more memory to eclipse
