My settings for these values in eclipse.ini
are:
-Xms768M -Xmx1024M
When setting them higher, Eclipse doesn't start anymore. Is there a way to increase these values without Eclipse crashing?
Heap starts at default initial value and grows to a maximum of 256 MB.
The flag Xmx specifies the maximum memory allocation pool for a Java virtual machine (JVM), while Xms specifies the initial memory allocation pool. The Xms flag has no default value, and Xmx typically has a default value of 256 MB.
The Xmx value is half the available memory with a minimum of 16 MB and a maximum of 512 MB.
The maximum values do not depend on Eclipse, it depends on your OS (and obviously on the physical memory available).
You may want to take a look at this question: Max amount of memory per java process in Windows?
