Flash Builder 4.5 crashes continuously

Question

We have a reasonably complex AIR application, but by and large I would not say it is enormous. It compiles down to an AIR file that is around 6MB. It is broken out into about 6 different modules. We have given the java VM the maximum RAM that it will utilize without complaining (somewhere around 768MB. You can't go to 1024MB or it blows up). Yet, Flash Builder crashes constantly when trying to build, generally with "java heap space" errors. This hurts our development time siginficantly, mostly in the form of developer frustration. We are developing on Windows 7.

I had hoped Flash Builder 4.5 would be an improvement over Flash Builder 4 in this regard. It in fact got worse.

Is there any hope of seeing action on this?

Hi Kevin,I've run into issues with previous versions of Flash Builder (actually when I saw this I was using Flex Builder) and overriding the default allocations seemed to help a bit: http://www.rphelan.com/2008/03/27/tweaking-compiler-performance-in-flex-builder/. I'd recommend jumping over to the Flash Builder forums and posting the question to see if anyone has any up to date advice.Thanks,Chris
