Andreas,

PermGen space is the area that the Java virtual machine uses to store class file definitions and things like interned Strings.

If you are using commons-logging in say tomcat then there can be cases where classes in your web application are referenced by classes in the servlet container itself. If this happens if you redeploy your application many times then the old versions of the classes from your web app can't be garbage collected (PermGen space items can be garbage collected) so eventually the PermGen space fills up.

Hi,

first of all, thanks for the effort of making OpenJUMP faster!

Do you know of a good reference of how the different memory types work/what
they're used for? We're sometimes also struggling with PermGen space errors, and
don't really have a clue what they're about (just increasing the space usually
works well enough)...

Best regards, Andreas
