Comments on: Running Mustang http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2006/08/running-mustang/ tips & tricks, news, how-to's Mon, 13 Feb 2012 06:29:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 By: Richard Martin http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2006/08/running-mustang/#comment-13756 Richard Martin Thu, 28 Dec 2006 13:21:45 +0000 http://blogs.jetbrains.com/idea/2006/08/running-mustang/#comment-13756 I found that I *did* have to use the idea.bat file, but could get around it by renaming the IntelliJ/jre/jre/ folder (or deleting it, if you feel brave). The idea.exe then started up using (presumably) the default JRE, which was Java 6 in my case. I've not noticed any adverse side-effects to doing this, although future IntelliJ updates may well revert this change...

This means that on Windows we have to use idea.bat instead of idea.exe. One downside for some people is that you have to keep that Command Prompt open. One way around that is is to modify the idea.bat to use javaw.exe instead of java.exe, and add a start \ Very nice. This means that on Windows we have to use idea.bat instead of idea.exe.

I hope this is fixed in the next build!

Eugene, thank you for your kind words. I will report any bugs I find. t800t8, I might if I knew how. Subpixel antialiasing should be enabled by default on jdk 6, if it is enabled in your OS, but it is not in IntelliJ IDEA as far as I can see. I also do not see any difference when setting the system property awt.useSystemAAFontSettings to various values. Gary, I will try it out, thanks.

It perfectly summarizes what I feel about porting Idea to Mustang ASAP. The only thing I would like to mention is that we are very interested in Idea bugs with Mustang, and we are also fixing them now, actively collaborating with Sun (you can find some evidences in JIRA or in Sun bug database) Bas,

It has something to do with the popup windows in the editor like the light bulb intentions and alt+insert generator menus. The slow scrolling happens for me every time I start IDEA or have it minimized for a while. As soon as one of the popup menu's is shown, the scrolling problem immediately disappears. This was a really frustrating bug and I constantly found myself distracted from my coding trying to figure it out. I really liked the responsiveness I got with mustang but I was almost ready to stop using it because of the scrolling. As a workaround now, I just do a quick alt+insert and esc when I open an editor window and I have normal scrolling every time. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you. Gary Bas,

Also, if you install the IDEA VM Options plugin, you can preserve the settings of idea.vm.options between upgrades of EAP releases. The only change I have to make when I upgrade to a new EAP is to add the JDK_HOME to idea.properties file. These are the options I have configured. -Xms64m -Xmx768m -XX:MaxPermSize=99m -ea -agentlib:yjpagent -XX:+UseParNewGC+UseConcMarkSweepGC -Didea.no.jdk.check=true You can also add the idea.no.jdk.check to the idea.vmoptions file with “-Didea.no.jdk.check=true”.

I guess that you think about improving IDEA's performance when you were writing this blog's item. It's the thing IDEA users are really care ;-) Bas,
