eclipse ini configuration

Question

actually i and my friend are trying to learn and use eclipse 3.4 and we are having some heap memory issue while working, and my friend suggested to increase the memory alloc

Answer 1

You can add the -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M in the eclipse.ini OR you could invoke the Eclipse.exe with paramerets in the command-line or via updating the "Target Path" in the shortcut,

eclipse -vmargs -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M
