So I’m running along with Eclipse/MyEclipse and I get an error message that I’ve run out of memory (exit or continue, blah blah). Before I get a chance to exit, a second popup diaglog displays the following message:
“An internal error occurred while showing an internal error. …”
I love this field.

Definately one of those classic computing moments… out of curiosity what command line to you use to launch Eclipse?
It’s just the standard command line without any decoration. I could up the memory, etc, but then it wouldn’t be nearly as amusing.

btw… good show with MyEclipse. I very much like the product and more so the development model. Hopefully it’s a good business model as well, though I suppose that’s a bit questionable for me. Keep up the good work!

Ahh… if you scroll back to 6/20 time frame of the Eclipse newsgroup, you’ll notice that after 3.0 came out, OutOfMemoryExceptions were one of THE most common posts. Eclipse 3.0 requires quite a bit more memory than 2.0, but in addition to that, MyEclipse consists of something like 130 plugins… so you can imagine that we recommend atleast a 256mb heap:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m
But its up to you.

Thank you, we work really hard on it.
With this command line >eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m – the myeclipse Run Garbage collection shows Maximum allowable – 63562.
Are the args having an effect?Philip, what version of Eclipse are you running? All the above testing/code was specific to Eclipse 3.0.x… I don’t think it has changed for 3.1, but that might be one of the problems… it should show more and your command line looks fine.
You might want to double check the VM you are using to Run Eclipse with, its possible it doesn’t understand the -X flags, everything above was using the Sun JRE.
