Hello Everyone,

I have a small problem. I keep getting exceptions like "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space" or "MESSAGE Unhandled event loop exception" when I start an eclipse version with my XText-Plugin. Those errors appear when I try to create a normal java class or a second project in the eclipse instance with my plug-in of course .

That's really annoying and I hope someone can help me with this newby problem.
I already tried to play with the eclipse ini and even an upgread of my vm to the newest version hasn't so far helped
Thanks...

I am running eclipse-SDK-3.7M6-Xtext-2-nightly-HEAD-win32 on an 64 bit Windows 7 computer... The Java version is 1.6.0_25-b06

Thanks for your replay.

I know this FAQ and I already played with the PremSize parameters....
But I still getting this problem... I even tried to ensure that my Plug-in(the new eclipse instance with the plug-in) uses this parameters...
I haven't tried so far to change to IBM JVM... But I would prefer to avoid this....

How do your launch configuration parameters look like?

I have the same problem that makes eclipse crash. I am using modeling helios SR2 with xtext 1.0.2, and it crash on startup if I have projects. If I don't have projects and I try to update eclipse it crashes.

- An internal error occurred during: "Workbench early startup".
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

- !MESSAGE An internal error occurred during: "Contacting Software Sites".
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

I am using windows 7, 64bits and jdk 1.6.0_25_b06 of 32bits and eclipse of 32 bits too.
In 64 bits all, I have more problems.

I tried configuring the eclipse .ini file but I haven't found the correct parameters for memory configuration.

I really need help with this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Could this be a Windows 7 64Bit related problem?

No it's a Sun JVM 'feature'; class descriptions, which EMF creates many
of, have only limited storage capacity.

Exactly the same here.

Quoting from the eclipse wiki (How_do_I_increase_the_permgen_si ze_available_to_Eclipse page)

Quote:

Note: Eclipse 3.6 and below on Windows has a bug with Oracle/Sun JDK 1.6.0_21 (July 2010) where the launcher cannot detect a Oracle/Sun VM, and therefore does not use the correct PermGen size. If you are using either of this version, add the -XX flag to the eclipse.ini as described above.

I have Windows 7 with SUN JVM and JDK 1.6.0_17 so there should be no problems. Even with 800mb of PermSize I have this problem.

Any idea about the reason?

Andrea,

There's only one solution, increasing the perm gen space. Of course
it's important to do it for the process that's having the problem, so if
the problem is in a process that's being launched separate from the IDE
then you need to ensure it's launched with the necessary options.

I suggest you try with the following options (512M is unnecessarily much PermSize while it is a rather low limit for the heap):

-Xmx1g -XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Cheers,

Hi

It can be both.

My favourite setting is

-Xmx1g -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=128M

I'm beginning to think about increasing slightly. In the last couple of
week I've received memory limits when installing new software.

Regards

Hi, well for a reason I still don't know. The parameters given to the eclipse.ini are not taken. So I'm using java commands directly to execute the eclipse with the specific parameters.

Here is a solution that at least interrupt the constant crashing of eclipse.
Command format: java [ options ] -jar file.jar [ argument ... ]

Examples:
java -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.200.v20090520.jar (for eclipse 3.5.x)
java -XX:PermSize=64M -XX:MaxPermSize=256M -Xms512M -Xmx1024M -jar <ECLIPSE_HOME>/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar (for eclipse 3.6.x)

Best Regards,

Edit:

Sorry, it was my fault.

Finally everithing is going well. I had also to change the memory settings related to the eclipse configuration launched from the original eclipse Razz

Razz

.

Xtext 2.0 is working really fluidly (looking at the domain model example). Well done guys!!!

Do you mind telling us how you fixed it?!
I'm having the EXACT same problem. Every time I run my plugin, I get the following error:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: PermGen space

I am using windows 7 (32 bit) with jdk1.6.0_26 and Eclipse helios 3.6.1

My eclipse.ini file looks like

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222

-vmargs

-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=512m

Can someone help me out?
I've been stuck on this all day...

I'm running helios 3.6.1 and was using the latest version of java (in my case jdk1.6.0_26) to try and fix this problem but it didn't work. I had to uninstall java jdk and download jdk1.6.0_20 from here. Then I opened up my eclipse.ini file and added in -XX:MaxPermSize=256m
My eclipse.ini thus looks like:

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.1.1.R36x_v20101122_1400.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.2.R36x_v20101222
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.java.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m

Eclipse no longer crashes when I run my plugin and I no longer get the 'OutOfMemoryError'. Hope this helps.

Hi, I'm using Helios with jdk1.6.0_17 on a machine with 3GB of RAM.

This is my eclipse.ini

-startup
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.win32.win32.x86_1.1.100.v20110502
-product
org.eclipse.epp.package.jee.product
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512M
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
512m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5
-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m

Moreover for avoiding problems, as other said, you have also to increse the amount of memory dedicated to the eclipse configuration that you are using for launching the IDE of your language. These are the arguments that i pass to the Eclipse configuration.

-Dosgi.requiredJavaVersion=1.5  -Xms40m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m

I hope it helps.

Thanks for that. The solution for me was to downgrade my sdk version to jdk1.6.0_20.
It would not work for me with the latest sdk release.

As Ed said, memory settings in the eclipse.ini only apply for the first
Eclipse itself, not for any Java processes (e.g. Run as->Eclipse
Application) spawned from that. These have individual settings in their
launch configurations (Run Configurations... -> VM Args on some tab).

It must be -XX:MaxPermSize=??? not just -XX:PermSize=???. In my case
128m seem to be enough but 256m may be safer. Note that the "m" is
important as 128 byte is not too much :-)

Don't now about any Windows 7 issues as I am on a Mac.

Hello,

I had the same issue with eclipse helios and indigo.
The solution is that you have to name your eclipse.ini exactly like your eclipse.exe

example "indigo32_jboss_tools.exe" should have a "indigo32_jboss_tools.ini", otherwise the configuration in the ini file will not be used.

enjoy.
