Memory leak?

Last Monday I did an update of Rascal in Eclipse, and since then Eclipse has been getting slower and slower. At this point, it takes about 15 minutes to save a file. Sometimes I will be waiting for minutes, just to get a "not enough memory" message.

I know we had to change the .ini file of Eclipse to make sure it has enough memory. I did everything that was on the website, and it was working fine until last Monday.

Is it possible that the last update of Rascal causes some kind of memory leak with Eclipse?

Same problem here. Java is now 760 mb.

Weird! Possible certainly but this update is older than a week and weve had no other complaints :-( is it with all files?

Eclipse slows down when typing/saving any of the (rascal) files in my workspace. Haven't tried if Java files also give the same problem. I tried running my code from series 1, which was quite fast, but this gives the same "not enough memory" message.

How annoying! Have you tried closing all editors and then restarting eclipse?

Yes. I've tried closing Eclipse and restarting, I've tried re-installing Eclipse, nothing works...

@JurgenVinju, is it possible to reverse an update of Rascal? To go back to a previous version?

Nope :-( Are you stuck?
