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

My configurations for 8gb RAM:

--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
128M
-Xms1024m
-Xmx2048m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1048m

The reason I gave a high value for Xms is that I don't want to wait and watch continuous increase of memory usage while getting started.
