Blogging Roller: Eclipse 2.1 M4 out of memory!

Eclipse 2.1 M4 out of memory!

I moved over to Eclipse 2.1 M4 recently and, for the most part, it has been working great. However, I have to restart it every hour or two because it keeps on running out of memory.

Yep. And the more third-party plugins you use the worse the problem will get. You can thank SWT for that. Java developers aren't used to dealing with the mindless drudgery of explicity releasing any and all resources that they use. It's back to the bad ole days of C++ resource management for SWT developers.
