Upon checking Task Manager (Windows 7), I have approximately 60 instances of javaw.exe running, ranging from approx. 1,000K - 450,000K.
I am currently working on a large project, developing some software using Eclipse Helios.
Can somebody explain why this is happening?
Lots of possible reasons for this, but in my experience the most likely is that instances of your app that you are starting to test or debug are staying around after you think they are gone.
