Hello,

I checked out Papyrus using the PSF. If I run the plugins as Eclipse application in another window, after some time I get an exception below. This repeats every time I start the plugins. Other details about my Eclipse and Java follow.

Any advice?

Thank you.

Yirco,

You'll see hundreds of posts on the platform and newcomers newsgroups
about permgen errors. You'll need to try increase the size in the ini.

Ed, thanks for your reply.

That's what I have done but the maximum suggested was -XX:MaxPermSize=512m even by experienced users.

So I was curious what MaxPermSize other people working with Papyrus use.

It has nothing to do with eclipse.ini

The problem is in run configuration. When a plugin is started the VM arguments are taken from the target platform configuration:

Window > Preferences > Plug-in Development > Target Platform > Edit > Arguments > VM arguments

A new configuration is created with the target platform VM arguments:

Run > Run Configurations > Eclipse Application > Arguments.

The problem is if the Eclipse Application run configuration already exists, the VM arguments of the plugin target platform are not copied and the plugin runs with the VM arguments in the run configuration. Therefore increasing -XX:MaxPermSize= in the Plug-in Development target platform has no effect. It's necessary to update the run configuration or delete it.

Hi Yirco,

for your information, I use 512M for MaxPermSize argument, I only have a few memory exceptions, depending on which set of features I have already installed.

Thanks Ed for your reply!

Rémi
