Have you tried the java.util.zip.ZipFile speedup patch? http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java/2002-12/msg00288.html It made a huge difference in startup time for gij. [Mark Wielaard] Just did. Startup (with the CVS explorer and a Java source open) went from 7:18 to 7:03, so it does help, but not enough ;-) 5:29:40 PM    Comments

Eclipse on .NET. Jeroen Frijters: I got Eclipse to run  I wonder if something like NGEN could be used to address the startup time issues. [Sam Ruby] It should be possible to use ikvmc to compile the jars to .NET assemblies, at some point in the future I will probably look into this. 4:57:46 PM    Comments

Eclipse on .NET I got Eclipse to run. Lot's of stuff still doesn't work, but CVS browsing and Java file editing works. Startup is very slow (a couple of minutes), but once the classes are loaded performance is OK. Screenshot. Exception log. Instructions: Download the ikvm.net binaries Install Eclipse cd \eclipse \ikvm\bin\ikvm -Djava.version=1.3 -cp startup.jar -Xbootclasspath:plugins\org.apache.xerces_4.0.7\xercesImpl.jar;plugins\org.apache.xerces_4.0.7\xmlParserAPIs.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86 -install file:C:/eclipse/ Ignore the "System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "d:\eclipse" is denied." exceptions Updated the binaries and source snaphots. 1:39:24 PM    Comments
