Students are used to using the Eclipse IDE for programming in Java. 2.1 Installing Eclipse on a Mac. For C development you need to install a C toolchain. Cmake-eclipse-helper is a very simple plugin that helps you setting up CMake projects for eclipse. You can even use it to switch between different toolchains within the same project.

-Xms40m = In the starting, JVM would need 40 MB memory

-Xmx256 = If needed, JVM should be given 256 MB memory — Maximum.

Depending on the available free RAM on your system, the size of software stackyou are developing, you can extend eclipse.ini. All new instances ofEclipse would respect these settings. This would help improve the performanceof Eclipse.

This is how an updated eclipse.ini may look like.

Beautiful handwriting fonts for mac. This is what’s changed:
