I am having an issue of running out of PermGen memory and when I try to set the -XX:MaxPermSize=324m past 324m in the ini MyEclipse won’t start, it comes up with a window showing setting values. When I drop the memory back to 324k for MaxPermGen it loads.

The same thing happens if I try to take the -Xmx1024M setting above 1024, it fails to start with the window showing settings.

This all started when I began using the BIRT reporting tool and running the app locally through the integrated Tomcat server.

I am using MyEclipse Pro 8.6 with latest updates on a Windows XP machine under VMWare with 3.5 gig of ram allocated. When I have the application running Task Manager shows I have almost 2 gig of available physical memory.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated,
Ed

Ed,

Typically Xmx cannot be set much above 1GB on a 32 bit VM without causing a problem. I believe there are similar limits on the permsize.

I’d like to understand why you need to set these values – are you running out of memory during development of your reports within MyEclipse or does your app fail to work when deployed to Tomcat?

If it is the latter, you can keep the MyEclipse settings as they are and specify the vmargs specifically from Tomcat at Windows > Preferences > MyEclipse > Servers > Integrated Sandbox > MyEclipse Tomcat > JDK.

The problem was coming from running it in the sandbox, I didn’t know I needed to change the values there as well. I updated those and it seems to be doing much better.
thanks much for your reply,
Ed
