[news.eclipse.tools] Eclipse behavior in Linux GTK

[Stelian Iancu <stelian.iancu@xxxxxxx>]

Hello!

I've just downloaded Eclipse 2.1 (Linux GTK edition) and I'm running it
under Gentoo 1.4rc2. I've noticed that it runs incredibly slow, so I
did a ps aux | grep eclipse:

steli@infos steli $ ps aux | grep eclipse
steli     2005  0.0  0.0  1996  436 ?        S    11:36   0:00 /bin/bash
/home/steli/eclipse
steli     2006  0.0  0.1  7368  640 ?        S    11:36   0:00
/home/steli/Programs/eclipse/eclipse -vm
/home/steli/Programs/j2sdk1.4.1/bin/java -data /home/steli/workspace
steli     2007  1.3  7.2 250456 37200 ?      S    11:36   1:26
/home/steli/Programs/j2sdk1.4.1/bin/java -cp
/home/steli/Programs/eclipse/startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 -showsplash
/home/steli/Programs/eclipse/eclipse -showsplash 600 -data
/home/steli/workspace

This is what I get, but the last process repeats like, 20 times or so
(actually there are around 20 different processes, all like the last
shown above). I never did check out this issue with older eclipse
versions, but is it normal? 

The arguments given to eclipse are -vm and -data.
