Out of Memory error starting JBoss with Portal from Eclipse

Question

I cannot get JBoss Portal to start from Eclipse, though the AS alone starts fine, and the Portal starts correctly as well, when started from the command line as opposed to f

Answer 1

1. According to my experiments, all options of vmargs set in eclipse.ini, plays only once - when creating a new workspace. When you want to change the options in the existing workspace, use run/debug configuration as in https://stackoverflow.com/a/10814631/715269. vmargs in ini won't be read any more.

2. Be careful, you should set -XX:MaxPermSize=...M, not -XX:PermSize=..., the last sets minimal, starting PermSize.

3. ad. Jeremy. It is senseless to put mins and maxs to the same value. You deprive Eclipse of adaptability. -Xms and -Xmx ( heap) and PermGen and MaxPermGen should be different. (MaxPermGen =256 by default)
