Within Eclipse.ini, you can configure heap settings.

This blog throws more light on it.

Through UI you can try in following way:

  • Enable Show heap status under Window -> Preferences -> General. (turned off by default).
  • Simply check this box to display a heap size indicator on the lower right corner. This indicator displays the maximum JVM heap size and how much of it is being used.
  • Another useful feature of this indicator is the ability to garbage collect the heap.
