how to make netbeans start up faster. netbeans is taking an insane amount of time just to open

I do not know if its just my computer, but netbeans is taking an insane amount of time just to open. I'm wondering is there anything i can do to mitigate this problem.

(Like maybe if i reduce the amount of tabs opened in netbeans it may speed things up or something)

Why does NetBeans take so long to open?

Your netbeans installation is probably slowed down by all the plugins, settings, files, cache, old files, and other stuff that its trying to load at startup.

How can I make NetBeans run faster?

I suggest right-clicking the NetBeans shortcut, go to Properties, and on the Shortcut tab at the Target, add -J-Xmx1024m -J-Xms256m . This sets the memory usage of the JVM. Xms is the minimal value, while Xmx is the max. Since I add that attribute, my NetBeans run so fast!

How much RAM is needed for NetBeans?

For developing medium-sized applications, that is 100–2000 source files, on a system with one CPU and 1 GB of RAM: 512 MB. For developing large-sized applications, that is more than 2000 source files, on a system with one or multiple CPUs and 2 GB of RAM: 1.5 GB.

Reinstall from scratch is usually the best way to go. Your netbeans installation is probably slowed down by all the plugins, settings, files, cache, old files, and other stuff that its trying to load at startup. Backup your .netbeans profile folder, delete the old one, download a new netbeans installation (netbeans itself might of collected old files), and restore your settings.

If that doesn't speed things up, then really the only thing you can do is upgrade the computer
