Hi,

I keep on getting java.outofmemory exceptions and when debugging and running my application the system slows down to a snails pace. Eventually myeclipse will shut itself down due to a java vm out of memory.

How do I set the myeclipse command line arguments to up my java vm?

Thanks

If Eclipse itself is running out of memory, you just need to change the startup arguments used in your shortcut to start eclipse to something like:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M

If a standalone program you’re debugging is running out of memory then modify the launch configuration to add the -X arguments above when it is launched.

If you’re running an application server through one of our connectors, add the arguments (one per line) to Window > MyEclipse > Application Servers > <server-name> > JDK
