Hi Joe,

Thanks for correcting me.
This image indeed proves your point:

As well as this thread:

Very interesting, I had it wrong for years.

So it doesn't make sense to put them on the same value.

Try this instead:
     -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
Or, if that fails:
     -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m

Sorry to disagree Geoffrey, but PermGen is NOT a part of heap in all (Sun) JVM's that I'm aware of. See

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2129044/java-heap-terminology-young-old-and-permanent-generations
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/gc-tuning-5-138395.html (the picture a few pages down)

So the sizes are specified separately. But having a MaxPerm of 1G and STILL see PermGen OOM is strange.

The problem could be, that when using the CMS (concurrent mark sweep) GC, PermGen is not collected. I have seen cases where sooner or later OOM PermGen errors happened consistently, until we added
