Dear all

I would like to allocate more memory by add the following argument:
C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms128m –Xmx256m

However it fails…
Java Virtual Machine Launcher
Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

Eclipse
JVM terminated. Exit code=1
C:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe -Xms128m -Xmx256m
-cp C:\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main
-os win32
-ws win32
-arch x86
-showsplash C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -showsplash 600
-exitdata C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe -exitdata c14_64
-vm C:\java\j2sdk1.4.2_06\bin\javaw.exe
-vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m
-cp C:\Eclipse\eclipse\startup.jar org.eclipse.core.launcer.Main

Would could have gone wrong?

Thanks a lot in advance.
Best regards
Albert Wong

Your install might be messed up, did you check that your startup.jar file is in the directory where eclipse.exe is being launched from? Your command line args look right.

[albertdbwong]

Yes, it is.

Without those args, I work well the ME but just slow…

Try copying and pasting this:
eclipse.exe -vmargs -Xms128m -Xmx256m

if that doesn’t work, try reunzipping a new download of Eclipse 3.0.1 and running it with the given command.

Thanks a lot. It is now working. Finally I found out what the problem is.. It is with the -. My shortcut was like this:
C:\eclipse\eclipse.exe –Xms128M –Xmx256M

The – is different from -, which came out of my copy and paste.

Sorry about the silly overlook and thank you for the help.

[Riyad Kalla]

no problem, but your shortcut is almost missing the ‘-vmargs’ part as well… I’m guessing that might have just been a mistype?
