(14/308) 64 - Surges/Memory not released...

Howdy,

I am seeing some very odd behavior that I can't track
down, and I'm curious if anyone else has seen it.
Basically the symptom is this: occasionally jEdit will
start to lock up every 5-10 seconds or so for about a
second, during which time the memory usage will surge.
Then that memory drops down again (something getting
garbage collected, presumably), and the cycle repeats.
The problem is that over time, the memory usage slowly
creeps up and eventually hits my maximum (256 at the
moment), at which point jEdit locks up completely, and
I have to kill it (although usually I kill it earlier
to try to stop the surging). When I first start up,
it'll be fine for a while, but eventually it starts again.

Unfortunately there is nothing that seems related in
the activity log, other than the:

\[debug\] Autosave: Java heap: 80947Kb / 86896Kb, 93%

messages which you can slowly watch creep up.

Initially I thought it was jIndex, but I disabled that,
as well as several other plugins, and the symptom still
remains. Has anyone else seen anything like this?

I'll keep trying to narrow down a cause...

2003-02-05 20:43:12 dgroo	Logged In: YES user_id=566189 Well, yesterday in an attempt to fight it, I removed a whole bunch of plugins to see if it would help. Initially I thought it had, as the surges seemed a bit less frequent, but they've begun showing up again as the day has worn on, and my memory usage is creeping upward. (The last autosave message was: \[debug\] Autosave: Java heap: 108394Kb / 115188Kb, 94%) The plugin list I have is below (yes, I am a plugin junkie). As noted, all of the plugins are the latest available version (as of 2/4), including the uninstalled plugins. Maybe it's just me - if I can come up with any additional useful information I'll post it... Currently Installed Jars/Plugins (all are the latest available version): AntHelper.jar BufferList.jar CharacterMap.jar Clipper.jar Code2HTML.jar CommonControls.jar Console.jar DotComplete.jar DragAndDrop.jar DynaMarker.jar EBrowse.jar ErrorList.jar FTP.jar FastOpen.jar InfoViewer.jar JCompiler.jar JDiffPlugin.jar JSwatPlugin.jar JTidyPlugin.jar JTools.jar JavaRefactor.jar JavaStyle.jar LineGuides.jar LookAndFeel.jar MacroManager.jar PMDPlugin.jar ProjectViewer.jar RETest.jar SendBuffer.jar Sessions.jar SpeedJava.jar Tags.jar TaskList.jar TextTools.jar VirtualProjectTree.jar WhiteSpace.jar XML.jar XSLT.jar jrefactory.jar jswat-parser.jar jswat2.jar kappalayout.jar kunststoff.jar log4j-1.2.6.jar metouia.jar oalnf.jar pmd-0.8.jar pmd-0.9.jar pmd-1.01.jar pmd-1.02.jar recoder.jar skinlf.jar sshtools-j2ssh-0.0.5-alpha.jar xalan.jar xerces.jar xercesImpl.jar xml-apis.jar xmlParserAPIs.jar Removed as of 2/4/03: AntFarm.jar AntVizPlugin.jar Archive.jar AxisHelper.jar BufferSelector.jar ClassWizard.jar CodeBrowser.jar ConfigurableFoldHandler.jar EditorScheme.jar HeadlinePlugin.jar JBrowse.jar JImporter.jar JUnitPlugin.jar JavaInsight.jar MementoPlugin.jar SQL.jar Templates.jar Vimulator.jar ant-optional.jar ant.jar bcel.jar commons-collections.jar dom4j.jar jgraph.jar jode.jar junit.jar velocity-core-1.3-rc1.jar
2003-02-06 03:56:43 spestov	Logged In: YES user_id=2280 Try running jEdit without any plugins.

2003-02-06 23:29:31 dgroo	Logged In: YES user_id=566189 OK, after some messing around with different combinations of plugins, I have determined that a) it is indeed plugin related and b) seems to be related to some combination of DotComplete, FastOpen, and the new ProjectViewer. I'm still trying to determine if any one of them is specifically causing the problem or not. I'm moving this to plugins and moving it down to a minor bug - I'll try to sort out the exact plugin and let the developer know...

2012-08-03 05:52:15 ezust	Need more info from submitter before we can reproduce the issue. However, it also looks like you could increase your java max heap size to avoid this lockup... it appears you are close to your max heap size.
