When I try to set the -Xmx1024m value in the eclipse.ini above 1024M ME 2013 displays a message that says “Failed to create the Java Virtual Machine.”

No other message of any kind is displayed. I am using Win 7 64-bit with 16Gig of memory and can set ME 10 to use 6Gig of memory with no problems.

Any thoughts on how to increase the memory cause just the cursory testing of 2013 is continually running out of memory and hanging the app. So far it has been pretty much unusable for migrating our projects to.

I found the issue here, had done the install many months ago and just got around to playing with it, had installed the 32 bit version. Had to find a reference on the web to determine which install was actually installed, would be nice if the about screen said what flavor is being used.

Since the installer said it does not have the javascript debugger or REST explorer in the 64 bit, and we need those kinds of capabilities, I had done the 32 bit version. In finally playing with the 2013 release, the problems exhibited in the 32 bit version makes using the 64 bit the way to go for use of existing ME functionality.

The lack of support of those two items makes it so we will have to continue using multiple products to support our development as ME does not have a complete package for 64 bit installations.

mongonv,

Sorry that you are seeing this issue.
32 bit JVM have restrictions on the maximum heap size while 64 bit does not impose any restrictions as the memory space provided by the OS to the java process is large.

Can you please try adding this to the .ini file above the -vmargs and try increasing the memory beyond 1024 to see if it helps ?

–launcher.XXMaxPermSize
256m

I could increase the memory upto 1350 with the addition of launcher MaxPermSize.

Let us know how it works for you.
