Lots of out of memory errors re: PermGen space

Mike,

Can you tell me what OS (MacOS/Windows/Linux)  you are on and what Eclipse version & Presto version ? Can you also paste the eclipse.ini contents here please? For example, my eclipse.ini (i am on MacOSX, with Presto 2.7.0) is as below:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-vmargs
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=128M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M

Hi,

Also please bear in mind that the settings in the eclipse.ini vary from machine to machine. You might need to tinker a bit before arriving at settings that suite your machine.

Thanks,

Sravan.

eclipse has some known issues with reading "eclipse.ini" file. So, please make sure that:

1. each jvm setting is on separate line

2. order of settings is as you see in Deepak's settings above

here is some more info

basically, I believe Eclipse ignores if there are more options in one line.

 thx,

I'm running Presto 2.6.1 with MDC of 1.0.0.20091191827

Here's my Eclipse ini:

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
-Xlauncher.XXMaxPermSize256M
-framework
plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.3.R34x_v20081215-1030.jar
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m
-Xmx512m

Mike,

Could you take Deepak's configuration above and try it ? Deepak had similar issue and after rearranging the ini file contents like you see in his reply, it seem to be running fine for few weeks now.

Thx,

Hi,

I also noticed that having to high permgen space allocated would result in Eclipse crashes, you would need to set this propornate to you RAM. I set

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m

for my 2GB RAM.

Thanks,

Sravan.
