As Julian's recent post mentioned, we
just put a release of Jikes RVM out that relies totally on Classpath and
runs a significant subset of Eclipse. A few months back, someone
mentioned that getting Eclipse started on an open source JVM with Classpath
would be a good benchmark and suggested that getting it to run in under
a minute would be a nice goal.
Using a FastAdaptiveSemiSpace image
with a 200 Mb heap, we got to the sign on screen in approximately 12 secs
on a Linux/IA32 box.
