Crashing eclipse 3.2, permmem error [message #38554]

Hi

Im not sure if this the right list to pose this question so please guide
me tot the right location.

The new eclise 3.2 keeps crashing , i.e. the eclipse.exe stops rather
often. and often it blocks the machine by consuming 99% of the
processing resources.

I got a 1 GB machine and eclipse.ini says:
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx400m

However when using a memory monitor plugin the actual consumption varies
between 45 MB to 95MB, and not close to 128.
Doing GC from time to time has no visable effect.

This is a relatively new happening and previously I hve had no problems
with eclipse and other application behave as before.

Any hint on what is the cause or any hints for possible solutions?

thanks for any feedback

Permgen memory is different than heap.

There has been reported issues with problems with some VM vendors with
handling permgen space.

You may need to specify another VM argument:
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m .

See one of the many bugs on this issue, possibly starting at:
