So lately I'm having a problem while working in my apps inside eclipse the next message shows up while working with xml files:
ERROR: 'Java heap space'
I have read an try increasing inside the eclipse.ini file the:
-vmargs
-Xmx40m
-Xmx512m
to:
-vmargs
-Xmx512m
-Xmx1024m
but it will work for a while than after and hour or so it will give me the same error, I'm working in a MacBook air with 4gb ram. I have Eclipse SDK Version: 3.7.2 Build id: M20120208-0800 and I just updated it, so I don't know if that is why is acting up this way, this is how my eclipse.ini looks right now:
-startup
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.2.0.v20110502.jar
--launcher.library
../../../plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.cocoa.macosx.x86_64_1.1.101.v20120109-1504
-showsplash
org.eclipse.platform
--launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m
--launcher.defaultAction
openFile
-vmargs
-Xmx512m
-Xmx1024m
-Xdock:icon=../Resources/Eclipse.icns
-XstartOnFirstThread
-Dorg.eclipse.swt.internal.carbon.smallFonts
what else can I do to fix this? any help is really appreciated. thanks in advance.

Temporary fix – Increase the heap size On the Eclipse menu, clicks Run -> Run Configurations.. , select the Java application we want to run, click on the Arguments tab, VM arguments section, and adjust a better Java initial maximum heap size.
OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space. 1) An easy way to solve OutOfMemoryError in java is to increase the maximum heap size by using JVM options "-Xmx512M", this will immediately solve your OutOfMemoryError.
The java. lang. OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space error occurs when it attempts to add more data into the heap space area, but there is not enough room for it. The solution to fix this problem is to increase the heap space(Default value maybe 128 MB).
Try this
In Run->Run Configuration find the Name of the class you have been running, select it, click the Arguments tab then add:
-Xms512M -Xmx1524M
to the VM Arguments section

Edit:
Your eclipse.ini settings will take effect only if you change following:
Run -> External Tools -> External Tool
Configurations. go to configuration that u use, under jre tab -select option
Run in same JRE in workspace.
