Hi there
My experience has been okay so far. A few remarks:
- **I installed adoptopenjdk11 with home-brew**, but it's not working for me, see error below.
When running it from a shell I get an error:
*./Axon.ivy\ Designer
Error: could not find libjava.dylib
Failed to GetJREPath()
Unable to create basic Accelerated OpenGL renderer.
Core Image is now using the software OpenGL renderer. This will be slow.*
I found this to be a bug:[https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213362][1]
- **Max java heap size**
The vmargs settings placed in Axon Designer.ini are not evaluated. Please see below:

it never uses more memory than shown above. Building the workspace is taking very long (5-10 minutes).
- **Also can I run more than one instance of Designer?**
On windows this can be done by renaming the .exe and .ini files. Designer 1 runs on 8081, Designer 2 on 8082...
This would also be essential. I'd love to work with it, but it's too slow for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Many thanks advance and regards,
Peter
