[ BUILD # : 200513101600 ] [ JDK VERSION : 1.6 ] It would be good if that memory indicator of Netbeans had some option in settings window.by I think : 1-Force GC when memory consumption passed ?? MB. 2-autoGC each ?? minutes 3-Alaram : -for example change the color of histogram- when memory usage reached ?? MB.
I'll take the ownership. Some comments: - generally I do not want to spoil default implementation with this additional functionality and sounds like low priority - re 1. this can negatively affect performance of various cache throughout the system. if the problem that your are trying to address is long blocking full GC you can consider use of other GC strategy like comncurrent mark & sweep - re 2. even worse than 1 so I' defer this - re 3. maybe, but what does it mean. btw it can be quite simple to implement with JMX (with small performance penalty) and track it for example from external JConsole or write a simple plugin that will annotate such state (icon in status line or status message). If someone want to contribute let's do it.
Mostly performance related. Passing to Petr N.
