I am using Eclipse 3.2 and MyEclispeIDE 5.0.1. I have set my memory settings to be a max of 1GB but I still get a warning that I am running low and memory and should set my vmargs. Checking within eclisep gives me this:
eclipse.vmargs=-Xms40m
-Xmx1024m
-jar
C:\development\Eclipse-3.2\eclipse\startup.jar

What is MyEclipseIDE checking to determine the memory size and the available memroy?

java.version=1.5.0_06

Michael,
If you check closely it’s probably complaining about low “permGen” memory which is becomming a known issue with the 3.2 release of Eclipse and especially with as large a product as MyEclipse sitting ontop of it, they need more perm gen spcae for all the plugins/classes/etc. that are loaded up.

We suggest the following arguments:

Do these options work with JRE 6? When I switched form 5 to 6 the JVM stopped working. It would not start up.

Yes they still work with JDK 6, I have build 98 installed right now and it works fine with the same arguments.

What errors are you seeing? It’s possible the problem is something else.
