JVM terminated. Exit code = -1

Question

I\'ve been using Eclipse for some time already, and I didn\'t have any problems with it. However, when I tried to generate some javadoc, I found that I didn\'t have the SDK

Answer 1

If you encounter a problem like this you can get a little more information by using eclipsec.exe from a command-line instead of eclipse.exe. I got this additional info in the dos box:

C:\<...>\Eclipse>eclipsec
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap

So I lowered my -Xmx setting in eclipse.ini from 1024 to 768, which made it work again. Why this was suddenly necessary I do not know atm, Eclipse has been running fine with 1024m some days ago.
