How can I give eclipse more memory than 512M?

Question

I have following setup, but when I put 1024 and replace all 512 with 1024, then eclipse won\'t start at all. How can I have more than 512M memory for my eclipse JVM?

Answer 1

I don't think you need to change the MaxPermSize to 1024m. This works for me:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.200.v20090520.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.0.200.v20090519
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms256m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:PermSize=64m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m
