Some say I need to do that in Run Configurations for my application. When I open that window, could you please tell me how to set the right argument and the amount of memory? Say how to set 2GB or 1.5GB?
Eclipse Solutions
Solution 1 - Eclipse
In the run configuration you want to customize (just click on it) open the tab Arguments
and add -Xmx2048m
in the VM arguments section.
You might want to set the -Xms
as well (small heap size).
Solution 2 - Eclipse
-
Go to Eclipse Folder
-
Find Eclipse Icon in Eclipse Folder
-
Right Click on it you will get option "Show Package Content"
-
Contents folder will open on screen

-
Open MacOS folder you'll find eclipse.ini file

Open it in word or any file editor for edit
...
-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xms40m -Xmx512m
...

Replace -Xms512m to -Xmx1024m
-
Save the file and restart your Eclipse

Solution 3 - Eclipse
Find the Run button present on the top of the Eclipse, then select Run Configuration -> Arguments, in VM arguments section just mention the heap size you want to extend as below:
-Xmx1024m
Solution 4 - Eclipse
In Eclipse Folder there is eclipse.ini file. Increase size -Xms512m -Xmx1024m
Solution 5 - Eclipse
Open eclipse.ini
Search for -Xmx512m
or maybe more size it is.
Just change it to a required size such as I changed it to -Xmx1024m
