My WTP 2.0 can not start up with -Xmx1024m [message #196970] Mon, 23 July 2007 09:42 Go to next message

Hello,

I downloaded WTP 2.0 using the wtp-all-in-one-sdk-win32. But it can not
start with the Java argument
-Xmx1024m.

More information:
1. WTP 2.0 can start with a smaller maximum heap, e.g., -Xmx768m.
2. My other Java program, e.g., Tomcat, can start up with -Xmx1024m.
3. There is no error message in .log file.
4. I am using jdk 1.6.0_01.

Has anyone also met this?

Thanks in advance!

Weijian

What's the full command line you're using to start it? Have you
modified the eclipse.ini file somehow?

No.

I attached the exit dialog.

Cheers,

What physical memory do you have on your machine? I did a little experim=
ent,
and I confirmed your command line worked on my machine, but then I kept =
increasing max heap,
and found if it got large enough then I'd see the same VM startup error.=
In my case,
I have 2G of memory on my machine, so sort of makes sense my machine mig=
ht handle 1G, but not 1.5G or 2G.
So ... if you only have 1G, or 1.5? then that might explain it.

And you see on my computer Tomcat can run with "-Xmx1024m" with no problem.
So the JVM is happy with "-Xmx1024m". It seems it is Eclipse that is not
happy with it. Does eclipse have its own memory management system, which
does some analysis on start-up and somehow goes to a conclusion that
"-Xmx1024m" is not a proper setting on my computer?

I've seen this behavior myself, but I never tried to get to the bottom
of it. This is not the best news group to reach people who know this
piece of Eclipse. I suggest re-posting on the Eclipse Platform news group.

Hi, Konstantin,

Does the eclipse platform you saw with this behavior contain WTP?

I've seen it both ways. The eclipse launcher that you are having
problems with is not specific to WTP and would not be affected by it.

Yes, probably ... but, is probably still a bug, and could ask on platorm=
newsgroup as
Konstantin suggests (or open a bug, if you can demononstrate "raw" java =
command works, but
eclipse.exe does not).

I peeked in some of the launcher code, and saw

static void adjustVMArgs( _TCHAR *vm, _TCHAR **vmArgv[] ) {
/* Sun VMs need some extra perm gen space */
if (isSunVM(vm) && permGen !=3D NULL) {


And, that was all the C code I wanted to read :)
