m2e can't resolve archetypes using Artifactory

Question

I have this type of problem:

I've configured Artifactory to use as Internal proxy repository and everything works fine except that now i can't create new projects with m2Eclipse wizard.

I've modified settings.xml in this way:

<proxies>
 <proxy>
   <id>optional</id>
   <active>true</active>
   <protocol>http</protocol>
   <username></username>
   <password></password>
   <host>myproxymachine.mycompany.com</host>
   <port>8080</port>
   <nonProxyHosts>*.mycompany.com|127.0.0.1</nonProxyHosts>
 </proxy>
</proxies>

<servers>
 <server>
  <username>user</username>
  <password>pwd</password>
  <id>central</id>
</server>
<server>
  <username>user</username>
  <password>pwd</password>
  <id>snapshots</id>
</server>

<profile>
  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </snapshots>
      <id>central</id>
      <name>libs-release</name>
      <url>http://srvmmaven.mycompany.com:8081/artifactory/libs-release</url>
    </repository>
    <repository>
      <snapshots />
      <id>snapshots</id>
      <name>libs-snapshot</name>
      <url>http://srvmmaven.mycompany.com:8081/artifactory/libs-snapshot</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>
  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </snapshots>
      <id>central</id>
      <name>repo</name>
      <url>http://srvmmaven.mycompany.com:8081/artifactory/repo</url>
    </pluginRepository>
    <pluginRepository>
      <snapshots />
      <id>snapshots</id>
      <name>repo</name>
      <url>http://srvmmaven.mycompany.com:8081/artifactory/repo</url>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>
  <id>artifactory</id>
</profile>

<activeProfiles>
 <activeProfile>artifactory</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>

When i try to create a new project, Eclipse crashes when it tries to load Nexus catalog.

This is the stacktrace:

Everything works fine if i create a new project using Maven from the command line.

I'm using Eclipse Indigo SR2 and m2Eclipse plugin version 1.3.1.20130219-1424

Thanks.

For the sake of keeping Q&A in order, I'll copy @charlee-chitsuk answer:

Since it shows us as java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: GC overhead limit exceeded. You may try to set Eclipse VM Arguments by increasing the Xmx and Xms as mentioning at wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse.ini.
