[COLUG] Eclipse bug with large directory structure

[Greg Sidelinger]

Does this happen with both svn implementations in subclipse, JavaHL and
SVNKit? You might want to increase heap sizes (eclipse -vmargs -Xmx756M)
in eclipse.

> Eclipse Users,
>
> We are using Eclipse for web development.  Numerous development web
> servers have been setup.  A developer can check out their code from
> Subversion onto a development web server.  They can then connect to the
> web server via either webdav or sftp plugins, and work on their code.
> Eclipse with the Sub-Eclipse plugin will automatically identify the code
> is under SVN and allow SVN management.
>
> The Problem :
>   - Eclipse runs out of memory while syncing files
>   - Or, Eclipse will hang and crash while syncing files
>   - Or, Eclipse will complete syncing, but will randomly skip files and
> directories
>
> I have been able to replicate the randomly skipping of files and
> directories on both a clean install of windows and my OpenSuse 10.1
> Linux desktop.  In my testing I used a clean install of Eclipse 3.2.2
> with only the ftp/webdav plugin added.
>
> My suspect is the size of code directory structure, which is > 2G.
> Smaller directories seem to work.
>
> Has anyone else run into this?
>
> Workaround - In the mean time, I've setup Microsoft's NFS client.  The
> developers are able to connect to the NFS server that all the web
> servers share.
