Hello,

I’m loading up Eclipse and i keep hitting:

Internal Error

An out of memory error has occurred. You can prevent these errors in the future by increasing your heap size before you start the workbench using the -vmargs -Xmx command line option.

I load eclipse through my shortcut, so where do I add these command line args?

Thanks,

Steven

Steven,

Open your shortcut and select Properties. In the commandline you should have something that looks like begins with “eclipse.exe”. You need to modify the shortcut to add the following parameters to the end of the line:
-vmargs -Xms128M -Xmx512M

The first argument tells the Eclipse launcher to pass all remaning arguments to the JVM and the last two simply set the heap initial and maximum sizes.
