I’m encountering the same issue. My workspace has 12 projects. My setup is Eclipse 3.4 / MyEclipse 7 (installed using Eclipse Update – not All-In-One). Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit, 4GB memory, Core2 Duo T9400. I’m using the same recommended Eclipse startup settings.

Michael,
Can you turn on the heap space monitor (it’s under Window > Prefs > General) and restart and watch the monitor and see what operations cause it to spike. That will help us in resolving this issue.

[mmogley]

Ok, I’ll try this.

[Loyal Water]

Thank you.

[mmogley]

The operations that cause it to spike appear to be ‘build projects” and ‘deploy web project’. May not be limited to these.

[jasper.floor]

I have noticed that memory spikes tend to happen with SVN operations.

[gary.heithold]

I have found that the Memory spikes occur during the project build process and seem to be specifically related to the code validation (Java, JSP, javascript, etc) processing. I have had to turn off the automatic build process to keep the low memory messages from occurring all the time so I can code. I manually initiate the ‘build project’ process which causes the low memory messages. I usually have to re-start ME and run ‘build project’ when necessary to get the build to run to completion without stalling…which is a pain. This is with just one large project open.

[gary.heithold]

As further information, following is trace from the log file during the ‘build project’ process with the 64-bit version running on Fedora 10. In some cases ME locks up and I do not even get a low memory message.

Guys,
Thank you for the additional information. We are looking into this issue.

[jasper.floor]

I can confirm the spikes on building a job. There are at least 2 other people at my company who have this problem and have turned off auto-build.

I’ll add this note to the PR that I have filed. Thank you.

[jasper.floor]

The following may help:
-vmargs
-Xms512m
-Xmx2048m
-Xverify:none
-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC
-XX:+CMSIncrementalMode
-XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=80
-XX:PermSize=128M
-XX:MaxPermSize=256M

A colleague of mine worked this out and it does seem to help. It’s a bit of a workaround but it seems to help.

[Loyal Water]

Thank you for posting this information.
