Increase Eclipse heap size [message #675788]

Hi together,

I want to parse big XML-Files (32MB) with Xquery (small files work fine).
I always reveive the error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Then I changed -Xms and -Xmx in the eclipse.ini but nothing happend, I couldn't fix the problem even if I enter enough memory (1024MB). The parsing-process of Eclipse only takes to about 300MB and then it throws the error.
So in my opinion, only Eclipse gets the memory and not the parsing-process. (Nevertheless this amount should be enough for the parsing-process...)

So how can I change this?

Best regards,
Simon

Oh, and .... thinking now about what you are trying to do ... you
probably need to set the vm arguments in one of the "run" launcher
configurations (that, I'm assuming, is created when you try to "run"
your xquery?

No, it doesn't make a difference.

Meanwhile I think, it is not passible to parse this big files.
(At least I don't know how Wink

)
So I decided to split this large files into smaller ones and everything
just works fine.
