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?

Goto Window > Preferences > General and enable Show heap status and click OK. In the status bar of eclipse (bottom of the screen) a new UI element will appear. We can see 3 things: The amount of used memory by the application (including garbage that has not been collected), in the example 111MB.
Heap starts at default initial value and grows to a maximum of 256 MB.
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.
In the run configuration you want to customize (just click on it) open the tab Arguments and add -Xmx2048min the VM arguments section. You might want to set the -Xms as well (small heap size).
