There are some memory problems with JBuilder 3.5 (and 3.0 and 2.0 as well). These are for a large part due to memory leaks in Swing and thus common to all Swingbased applications. Performance will start to decrease after a few hours of having the application loaded. It is recommended to stop Swing applications every hour or two and restart them afterwards to clear any memory that may have been lost. This goes for even the smallest applications (once used a Java-based text-editor that lost a megabyte a minute, taking maybe 2 MB itself). Compared to that, JBuilder is good ;) Using the most recent JDK also helps, the problems have gotten less with the release of 1.2.2. -- Jeroen T.
