Out of memory error while building a project in the Run bench [message #216911] Wed, 20 June 2007 05:20 Go to next message

Hi,
I launch a run bench with argument -Xmx512m. Workspace has around 2000
files and during the build i get OutOfMemoryError. I tried launching the
dev bench with vm arguments -mx256m as well as -mx512m. Is ther any other
arguments i should use and any other options to be set?

Thank you in advance,
Rashmi Donthi

Hi,

perhaps you are running out of permgen space (I sometimes experienced
problems with it) - try:
-vmargs -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

Furthermore it is possible that the arguments are actually not passed to
eclipse (e.g. due to using a shortcut in Windows). You can check the
arguments you passed in Help --> About Eclipse SDK --> Configuration
Details.

HTH,
Stefan

Increasing the permgen size works only when one builder is turned on at a
time. But with all the builders on it goes out of memory.
I tried increasing the permgen size to 256 and also tried using -mx640m. It
did not help:(
Is there any other solution?

You need to use -Xmx, not -mx.
Here is an example of the eclipse.ini that I use and it never has memory
problems even with huge workspaces and dozens of plugins:

-vm
D:\Java\JDK\5.0\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs
-Xms128m
-Xmx512m
-XX:MaxPermSize=128m


Hope this helps,
Eric

Thanks but it did not help. I had to use -Xmx1024m to overcome the out of
memory error.
