Increasing the heap size.

Post by seulater »

I have been working with some graphics libs, and it causing eclipse to crash due to out of memory errors. Not In any way related to how much memory I have in my computer as I have 4 GIG installed.

When I go to the help on this, it says to use "eclipse -vmargs -Xmx<memory size>" when I do that it does not work. Does anyone know another way to kick it up ?

Sounds like you may have tried this, but when I stepped up to the 1024M parameter it fixed a similar problem.

Sorry not to add this to previous post. I seem to remember Tod Syncor has a screencast about this too:
