Eclipse is not starting properly.... [message #511645]

Hello All,,

I am using the following command to start the eclipse in command line..

eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xmx700M -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M

But an Error message is coming, saying that "Could not create the Java virtual machine". What i have needed is just to configure the Eclpise with the mentioned VM arguments.

Please be kind enough to share any thoughts on this..
Thanking in advance.

Are you certain tat "-XX:PermSize" is a valid VM argument? Typically
the VM just exists on unknown arguments.

Dear Nitin Dahyabhai,

Thnkx for commenting and yes, i am sure that it is a valid VM arg.
Instead of the command line, I tried the same configurations with the eclipse.ini as well, but it gives out the exact same error message saying that "Could not create the Java virtual machine". My eclipse.ini was as follows.

-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
1024M
-framework
plugins\org.eclipse.osgi_3.4.2.R34x_v20080826-1230.jar
-vm
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_11\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms256m
-Xmx700m
-XX:PermSize=256m
-XX:MaxPermSize=1024m
-Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true

Please help to get rid of this erroneous situation on Eclipse.

Thanking in advance.

Hi,

I think Nitin is right, there is no such VM option as -XX:PermSize.
I've just checked at the Sun site and could only find -XX:MaxPermSize.

So I suggest to remove -XX:PermSize and check if that fixes your problem!

Cheers,

Laca

Generally you want your heap size to be larger than your perm size; and 1G is
*huge* for perm size, I would be very surprised if you really need it to be that
big; 384M should be plenty.
