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

Configuring this worked for me: -vmargs -Xms1536m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m on Eclipse Java Photon June 2018

Running Windows 10, 8 GB ram and 64 bit. You can extend -Xmx2048 -XX:MaxpermSize= 1024m to 4096m too, if your computer has good ram.Mine worked well.
