Switching Eclipse IDE version from Ganymede to either Helios or Indigo

[Ashish Vijaywargiya-5]

Hello,

Since last few days I am thinking to switch Eclipse IDE version from
Ganymede to either Helios or Indigo. Anyone started using Helios or
Indigo? If Yes then how is the performance of this two new versions? Any
recommendation?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ashish,

I have used Helios for many years.  I tried to updated to Indigo few weeks ago, and crossed and issue I don't clearly remember. What
I remember is I had to revert the worspace I tried to previous day (fortunately, because previous bad experiences, I tried with an
untouched workspace) . I had not much time to switch since, so I did not retry. BTW,
this remains me to do it again, but with a workspace copy this time ;o)

I found Helios (all versions, I use 3.6.2 now) as stable as Ganymede (all versions) but was easier to update plugins (M2)

I simply use the classic package and add what I need.

I did not see much performance change from Ganymede but some new features following Java and other tools, and globally an easier
daily use (notably regexp S/R are far better IIRW)

Hi Ashish,

I have used Helios for many years now and is now using Indigo for few weeks.

I found Helios (all versions) as stable as Ganymede (all versions) but was easier to update plugins (M2)

I'm as satisified with Indigo (3.7.1) as I was with Helios.

I simply use the classic package and add what I need

Just tried again with 3.7.1 (Indigo) this morning and any issues so far... I'm even able to switch back a workspace loaded with
Helios to Indigo (with a small not blocking concurrent exception at start with Helios)

Thanks so much Jacques. I think for now I can start with Helios and
after sometime I can switch to Indigo.

Hello Ashish,

I have been using Indico-classic. I had to change Xmx to 2048.

I found one issue though. Once in a while, it takes too much CPU. Has to
do with OfBiz/Tomcat creating new threads and killing old thread. These
threads are triggered due to Scheduled Jobs. For some reason, if you keep
the OfBiz running for a while, it creates many SendEmail and
FAM_AUTO_CREATE jobs. Once you clean up these jobs from job_sandbox table,
Indico stabilizes. I am not sure if anyone else has experienced it.

I have installed, XML, FTL, Groovy plugins. Groovy plugin is not very
effective (during debugging), unless you add the actual groovy folder in
classpath.
