I've seen suggestions to also increase the MaxPermSize. I typically run many projects at once and have found the following eclipse.ini settings to work well (machine has 2GB RAM). -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx784m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m Pete

Besides raising the memory settings try: 1) close all perspectives not currently in use. there can be only one! hehe 2) window > preferences > General and check show heap status. This will enable a heap status monitor in the lower left corner by default. You can mash the garbage can to force a GC at will. 3) get eclipse updates, occasionally the updates are performance related, eh?

At the same time the VM size of the javaw executable never comes close to this 1300Mb. I am clueless and frustrated but not a lot of people seem to run into the same issue so I must assume it is something specific to my setup or way of working. I just wish I knew in what direction to look for that specific characteristic. I am sure I would be more than happy to get rid of it, if it would keep Eclipse running. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <http://yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Kevin Sent: Tuesday, April 24, 2007 7:22 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Ecplise Out Of Memory Errors now that you mention it, this did start happening when I started working on my Java/Hibernate code. Previously, I only used the PHP, SVN & Flex perspectives. I changed to Xmx512m and I'll see if that helps. I can't believe you are getting it with 1300! I am also going to see if closing my projects while I am not working on them helps. - Kevin On Apr 24, 2007, at 12:44 AM, Peter wrote: I have it very regularly (very frustrating indeed). I have -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx1300m in eclipse.ini but it hardly seems related to the Xmx value. It does seem related in my case to the fact that I am also using the Eclipse instance to do Java and/or XML editing and/or Java/Tomcat debugging - I almost always run into it when I switch from a longer period of flex editing/debugging to Java (or vice versa). I remember reading on this list that in once case switching automatic compilation of helped/fixed the problem. I have not tried that though as that would probably get me in a bigger mess than restarting every hour or so. If you find out something I would certainly appreciate if you could share your solution. Thanks!
