Eclipse crashing [message #209292]

Hi There,
Eclipse is constantly running out of memory (PermGen space?) every 15
minutes or so and crashing. Increasing the memory allocated does not seem
to help.

Here is the error from the console:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

...and I also get this popup error:
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
/usr/bin/java
-Xms100m
-Xmx512m
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar
-os linux
-ws gtk
-arch x86_64
-launcher /usr/share/eclipse/eclipse
-name Eclipse
-showsplash 600
-exitdata a800a
-vm /usr/bin/java
-vmargs
-Xms100m
-Xmx512m
-jar /usr/share/eclipse/startup.jar

I don't know if this is relevant, but I'm running Fedora 6 and there is
something messed up with the libswt-gtk. In order to get Eclipse to run I
have to execute this in the command line first:
MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME=EMPTY
export MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME

Thanks for any help, I love eclipse, but this is starting to drive me nuts!

Best,
Brigham

This is PermGen not heap so it is slightly different argument to bump it up.

Add another argument similar to:
-XX:MaxPermSize=128M

You mean that with this, eclipse does not crash anymore?

I experienced the same problem under a Debian few months ago, and found
no other solution but to reinstall the whole distribution :-(

thanks

This is a FAQ. A simple Google search for "eclipse PermGen space" would
have brought you to the answer quickly. Or a search of Bugzilla would
have found https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=92250 which
goes into great detail about the issue.

Please do a little research on your own before posting questions to the
newsgroups. Many of us here like to help those who help themselves.
