NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 200605171800)1.5.0_05 Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.0_05-b05 Windows XP version 5.1 running on x86 en_US (nb) ================================================ The memory meter on my NB session currently shows 33.8/72.2 MB, but windows task manager shows jave.exe Mem Usage = 156,640K, VM Size = 155,808K. I don't see any relationship between the two sets of values. Is memory meter being dishonest about memory usage? (Like some car makers about their mpg, by skipping some criteria). What does it actually map? When I start tomcat, a new java process is started, as indicated by task manager. Does memory meter take that memory used into consideration? It was actually shown by task mgr as Mem Usage = 148MB until I clicked on memory meter, hoping to bring down memory usage. Instead, it went up to 156,640K (grr... my teeth gnashing on finger nails now)! Hmm ....
typo: jave.exe should have been java.exe .
1) Not sure why this is assigned to java. Should you reopen the issue assign it to core. 2) Sure it does mean something. It shows size of the heap in the VM running the ide. 3) Sure you see something else. This is because the task manager shows how much the VM consumes. Including, the VM itself, loaded classes, some native buffers etc. This is very different from the heap size. 4) Tomcat is probably started in different VM, so no it does not take it into account 5) Should the memory meter be changed. No way! :-)
